Rankings from AP Poll

The 2000 season was arguably the greatest season in OSU's football history. They finished the regular season at 10–1 (7–1 in Pac-10), to share the league title with Washington and Oregon–their first conference title since 1964. The three-point loss at Washington in early October kept the Beavers out of the Rose Bowl and their first outright conference title since 1956. They routed tenth-ranked Notre Dame 41–9 in the Fiesta Bowl, and the eleven wins remains an Oregon State record.
