The cleats, called the Kobe VI UO PE's, feature Bryant's signature on the heel and his Mamba logo on the tongue.
After going 12–0 in the regular season, Heisman finalist Dillon Gabriel and the Ducks went on to add a Big Ten Championship to their resume with a 45–37 win over Penn State. Their undefeated record earned them not only the No. 1 seed in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff, but also a first-round bye.
Oregon will play the winner of Saturday's first-round matchup between No. 9 Tennessee and No. 8 Ohio State in the quarterfinals. Said contest will take place on New Year's Day—from Pasadena's Rose Bowl—and is set for a 5:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
