EUGENE, Ore. -- The 112th Oregon Civil War game will be contested by two teams that have cracked the Top 20.

The Oregon State Beavers are ranked 17th in the latest Associated Press poll after defeating Arizona on a last-second field goal.

Justin Kahut hit a 24-yard field goal as time expired, and the Beavers rallied to defeat Arizona 19-17 last Saturday to move within one victory of its first Rose Bowl trip since 1965.

And the Oregon Ducks jumped from 24th to 19th despite having a bye last weekend.

Oregon State (8-3, 7-1 Pac-10) can secure a BCS bid and the Pac-10’s Rose Bowl berth with a victory over the Ducks in the Civil War on Nov. 29.

The Beavers are in the enviable position of having two healthy, capable quarterbacks available for the game.

Lyle Moevao, who has started in nine games this season, was throwing again in practice this week after sitting out the Arizona game with a sore shoulder.

Coach Mike Riley said Moevao threw before the game in Tempe and could have been available as backup if needed.

Sean Canfield started and helped lead the Beavers on a comeback drive in the final two minutes that ended with the OSU victory.

Canfield completed 20 of 32 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown against the Wildcats. He also led the Beavers over California 34-21 in his other start this season.

Canfield, a left-hander who missed fall practice while rehabbing a shoulder injury, has thrown for 703 yards and six touchdowns with two interceptions this season, while Moevao, a righty, has thrown for 1,967 yards and 14 scores, with nine interceptions.

"I'm really excited about the fact that we have two guys who are capable of winning games," Riley said. "I was really impressed with Sean's poise down the stretch and the plays that he's made since he's quarterbacked our team. Obviously we've liked the work Lyle has done this year, so I think that's a good thing for the Beavers and we'll figure out the starting deal later on this week."

No doubt the decision will be handled very carefully.

Win, and Oregon State is headed to Pasadena on New Year's Day for a game against No. 6 Penn State. The Beavers lost to the Nittany Lions 45-14 early in the season.

The Beavers would like nothing more than to avenge that loss. But first, they have to beat the Ducks.

"You dream about going to this bowl game and that bowl game, and then it finally comes down to your last game, rivalry week," Moevao said. "We know this will be a tough challenge playing at home. We know what's at stake. You either win or you lose."

Meanwhile, No. 19 Oregon (8-3, 6-2) has a healthy and established starter for the annual rivalry game for first time in several years.

Jeremiah Masoli, who won the starting job while Justin Roper was injured and then won over fans who maligned his passing game, will lead the Ducks on Saturday.

On Tuesday, coach Mike Bellotti recounted the quarterback troubles that had marked the Civil War for the Ducks over the past three years:

In 2005, Dennis Dixon and Brady Leaf had to step in for Kellen Clemens, who broke his ankle earlier in the season. The Ducks won that game at Autzen Stadium, 56-14.

In 2006, Leaf made his first start of the season in the Civil War after Dixon had struggled down the stretch. The Beavers won at Reser Stadium, 30-28.

And last year, with both Dixon and Leaf out with injuries, the Ducks turned to Cody Kempt and Justin Roper. Oregon State won that one in double overtime at Autzen, 38-31.

Masoli started fall practice as Oregon's third-string quarterback, behind Nate Costa and Roper. Costa suffered a knee injury a week before the opener that required season-ending surgery.

Roper became the team's starter but missed nearly four weeks with a knee injury, and Masoli stepped into the starting role. The junior college transfer has thrown for nine touchdowns and run for six more for the Ducks.

The Ducks and Beavers have been playing the Civil War game since 1894, making it the seventh-oldest college football rivalry game in the United States.

The 112th Civil War game will be played in Corvallis this year.
