Oregon vs Washington Prediction: The Huskies Could Mess Up the Big Ten
NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos...
Oregon looked wonderful against Minnesota and fantastic against USC. Now at 10-1, it’s an apparent stone-cold lock for the College Football Playoff. There’s just one problem.
Washington is good.
The CFP committee isn’t into dealing with hypotheticals, but teams like BYU and Miami are waiting for the slightest crack to make their pitch that they deserve to be in the tournament after next week’s games are done.
Oregon vs Washington Preview
Oregon should still be okay even if Washington wins this, but there will at least be a spirited debate.
If the Ducks get by, they’ll almost certainly be hosting a first round game against a team that will have to travel very, very far.
The Huskies are easily bowl eligible, they’re playing great – one brain cramp against Wisconsin aside – and the Jedd Fisch era could be on rocket fuel if the they can pull off the upset.

Why Oregon Will Win
The Ducks have picked a great time to step up their game.
They struggled at Iowa, weren’t great in the rain against Wisconsin, had that double-overtime close call against Penn State, and lost to Indiana. They were fine, but not dominant.
They were dominant against Minnesota, and then USC came to town.
Dante Moore and the passing game have been razor-sharp over the last few weeks, and the running game has shown a great combination of speed and power.
But to beat Washington, you have to hold up against the run. The Ducks allow just over 100 rushing yards per game, and Washington can’t/doesn’t win when it fails to get to at least 150 rushing yards. But …
Why Washington Will Win
Oregon generated decent pressure on Jayden Maiava and the USC backfield last week, but it doesn’t bring a ton of heat and big plays behind the line. The sacks just aren’t there.
And yes, Oregon is good against the run, but Washington is balanced. Quarterback Demond Williams is dangerous in a variety of ways, and he’s at his best when he’s making something happen to move the chains.
The Ducks haven’t faced too many quarterbacks who can move, but Iowa’s Mark Gronowski gave the defense a few fits in the way-too-close fight a few weeks ago.
Oregon doesn’t go as fast as you might think, but it does like to step up its pace. That’s a problem here – Washington, offensively, is dominant on third downs and Williams is ultra-efficient.
As long as the Huskies are hitting about 65% of their passes, they’ll be in this throughout.
Oregon vs Washington Prediction, Betting Lines
In case you were wondering, here’s how this shakes out when it comes to the Big Ten Championship.
Assuming that Indiana beats Purdue, Ohio State is obviously in with a win over Michigan. However, if Michigan wins, Oregon goes to Indianapolis to defend its Big Ten title.
Washington plays at a whole other level at home,
It dominated UCLA last week, threw at will on Illinois, and it’s been forgotten, but it took Ohio State deep into the fourth quarter and kept it interesting.
Washington will be as physical as it needs to be, but it doesn’t bring enough defensive pressure to bother Moore.
It won’t be easy, and it’ll be a full fourth quarter fight coming down to a late, clutch drive. It might not be Moore’s Heisman moment, but the idea will be brought up.
