If Oregon wins they will head back to Miami for the national title game. Which is roughly 2750 miles from Eugene. They already made that trip in the 2nd round to play vs Texas Tech. Tonight’s game is in Atlanta, which is ~2150 miles from Eugene. Which all totaled up is is roughly 15,300 miles round trip.
It would probably stand as a record for a while. With most bowl games being South/South-Central it would probably stand for a while. Only other schools that could potentially break it are Washington or Oregon State. Or a team that wins a true road playoff game (which has not happened in the first 2 years of the new 12 team playoff)
EDIT: Miami and Bama won true road playoff games this year. My bad. If Miami had to play in the Rose Bowl twice (Semis/2nd and NCG), play Semis/2nd round at the fiesta bowl, and then played their first rd playoff game 1k miles away they could beat it too
