The 1968 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the 1968 NCAA University Division season. They played home games at Parker Stadium in Corvallis and one at Civic Stadium in Portland. Under fourth-year head coach Dee Andros, the Beavers finished 7–3 overall and 5–1 in the Pacific-8 Conference. They were ranked No. 15 in the AP poll and No. 13 in the Coaches poll, and they outscored opponents 285 to 179. A 17–13 loss at USC in November decided the conference title and the Rose Bowl berth, since the Pac-8 sent only one team to the Rose Bowl at that time. Offensively, the team was led by quarterback Steve Preece and fullback Bill Enyart, nicknamed "Earthquake"; center John Didion was a consensus All-American. Five Beavers were drafted in the 1969 NFL/AFL draft, the final common draft with 17 rounds (442 selections).
