Saturday night might just feature the biggest game in Autzen Stadium history as Oregon football will take on Ohio State in a top-three matchup between new Big Ten rivals.
The Ducks are ranked No. 3 in the country after a 5-0 start which was slower than expected with close wins over Idaho and Boise State before picking up blowout wins over UCLA, Oregon State, and Michigan State.
Ohio State is also undefeated with five straight blowout wins and the Buckeyes have only allowed more than seven points once this season. Sure, you have to consider the opponents that Ohio State has played, but allowed over seven points just once is an impressive stat through five games -- and no one has scored more than 14 against the Buckeyes.
Saturday's game will capture the attention of the nation as College GameDay will be in town.

Line: Oregon +3
Over/Under: 54
Moneyline: Oregon +130 | Ohio State -155
Honestly, this one is a tough game for me to predict. My gut says that Oregon finds a way to beat Ohio State for the first time ever at Autzen Stadium but the Buckeyes have shown no signs of slowing down early in the season. Oregon has actually never scored a single point against Ohio State at Autzen but that'll change on Saturday.
I think this one is close and it'll be a fairly defensive battle with the Ducks sneaking away with a close win, 24-20. I think it'll hit the under and Oregon will come away with a big home win to secure a spot at the top of the Big Ten standings.
