The Oregon Ducks are returning to Ann Arbor for the first time in nearly two decades to face the unranked, National Championship-defending Michigan Wolverines. The last time these teams met, Oregon flew home from the Big House with a 39-7 blowout victory. This year, the Ducks are hoping for more of the same result.
The Ducks and Wolverines' matchup is part of a top-25 double-header on CBS and Paramount+ in Week 10. To kick off Saturday, one of the surprise teams of the season is taking on Air Force: the No. 21 Army Black Knights.
So far this season, the Black Knights have gone 7-0 overall and have blown out their opponents. As Army prepares to host Air Force, the team is projected to continue its dominance.
It's a double-header tomorrow on @CBS and @paramountplus.@AF_Football takes on No. 21 @ArmyWP_Football at 12PM ET.

The next game on CBS? None other than the No. 1 Oregon Ducks. As Oregon returns to Ann Arbor, many are talking about this game being the Ducks' "gut-check" game of the season. The Big House is one of the most difficult stadiums to play in across the country, even when the Wolverines aren't playing particularly well.
In 2007, when Michigan and Oregon last shared a football field, the Ducks were led by quarterback Dennis Dixon and running back Jonathan Stewart – two Oregon legends.
This time around, quarterback Dillon Gabriel alongside running backs Jordan James and Noah Whittington look to cement their place as the top team in the country and the Big Ten.
Oregon and Michigan are scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+. Just before the Ducks' game, Army and Air Force are scheduled to play at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT on the same platforms.
