American college football season
The 2000 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season . The Beavers played their home games on campus at Reser Stadium in Corvallis and were led by second-year head coach Dennis Erickson .
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 ,[1] [2] and the eleven wins remains an Oregon State record.
