Consider this a revenge game. Oregon was undefeated and flying high early in the 2021 season after beating Ohio State, but Stanford pulled off the shocking upset to really kickstart a downward spiral in the second half of the season.

The Cardinal shocked Oregon in Palo Alto and won in overtime after the Ducks came back in the second half and looked like they were going to hold on for a win.

Oregon wants revenge and they’ll get it here behind strong games from CJ Verdell and Byron Cardwell on the ground.

Final Score: Stanford 17, Oregon 31 (4-1, 2-0)

Jedd Fisch has taken over at Arizona and he’s actually recruiting at a high level, but the turnaround of the Wildcats is not going to happen overnight. Make no mistake, Arizona has been one of the worst teams in the Power Five for years and that’s probably not going to change in 2021.

There will be a step in the right direction, but that won’t include an upset win over Oregon because, well, the Wildcats just don’t have the pieces just yet.

This will be closer than expected, however.

Final Score: Oregon 34, Arizona 27 (5-1, 3-0)
