Fox's Saturday pregame show "Big Noon Kickoff" is in Iowa City this morning ahead of No. 9 Oregon at No. 20 Iowa, a College Football Playoff elimination game that kicks off at 12:30 p.m. PT on CBS.

Dan Lanning did a guest appearance this morning on the show, alongside Brady Quinn, Mark Ingram and Urban Meyer. Lanning said, "There's nothing better than going to somebody else's place and trying to make it quiet."

The Ducks have the nation's longest regular season road winning streak at 10 games. In his fourth season at Oregon, the former national champion defensive coordinator is 8-0 in Big Ten road games.

His team faces a formidable challenge today at Kinnick Stadium, where the crowd is loud, enthusiastic and on top of the field, 69,000 strong. It will be particularly tough today as not only do the Hawkeyes have one of the nation's best defenses, the weather calls for temperatures in the low 40s with rain.

Oregon opened as a 5.5-point favorite. The line moved to 6.5 early in the week, and it's ticked down again to 5.5 Saturday morning amid reports the Ducks could be without some key players, as yet unconfirmed.
