The biggest game of the Big 10's schedule to this point is finally here. The 4-0 Oregon Ducks are set to take on the 3-0 Penn State Nittany Lions in a huge top-ten showdown that is sure to have college football playoff implications.
Neither team has won by less than 20 points this season, as Oregon is ranked sixth, and Penn State comes into this matchup as the third-ranked team in college football.
This game has everything you want in a college football game. Two great coaches in James Franklin and Dan Lanning. An explosive offense in Oregon, going against a stingy Nittany Lions defense, great skill players on both sides, and two quarterbacks still with something to prove.
Penn State's Drew Allar is a little more tenured as a starter, and it is certainly the biggest game of Oregon's Dante Moore's career to this point. Penn State comes in as a slight 3.5-point favorite.
