Oregon also claimed the Pac-10 championship with the victory, ending University of Southern California's seven-season hold on the title. The Ducks, who booked their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1995, will face Ohio State in Pasadena on New Year's Day.
LeGarrette Blount, who hadn't played since throwing a punch after Oregon's season-opening loss to Boise State, returned to the field and scored on a 12-yard run in the third quarter.
Oregon State was vying for its first Rose Bowl berth since 1964. The Beavers will have to wait until the rest of the Pac-10 wraps up the season to find out which bowl they will play in.
It was the first time the annual state rivalry game was a winner-takes-all path to the Rose Bowl.
Jeremiah Masoli threw for 201 yards and a touchdown for the Ducks, while Sean Canfield threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns for the Beavers.
Oregon State had a chance to take the lead late in the fourth but Canfield threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-15 from the Oregon 28.
Masoli took over with more than 6 minutes left and ran out the clock with an impressive drive that featured two fourth-down conversions.
