Michigan Wolverines Football vs. Oregon Ducks

▶ Angelique S. Chengelis: Oregon is as complete a team as you can get and will pose problems for Michigan, which is incomplete in so many areas. The Wolverines are coming off a confidence-boosting win over Michigan State and are taking the approach of ruining the seasons for the ranked teams they face, starting with the No. 1 Ducks. If Michigan has a chance to do something wrong with Oregon, they need it Wolverines a game like last week in which they had no turnovers or penalties and did not allow a sack from Davis Warren, who will start for a second game in a row and for the fifth time this season. They could also put cornerback Will Johnson back in the starting lineup. Sure, it's tough traveling across the country to play, but the Ducks and quarterback Dillon Gabriel aren't slowing down much these days. Pick: Oregon, 31-14

▶ Connor Earegood: The reigning national champion against the team that will probably win the next title. Passing the torch won't be much fun for the Wolverines. They lost this game six months ago because they couldn't find a quarterback in the transfer portal, which led to Davis Warren taking the reins again. The Ducks, meanwhile, signed Dillon Gabriel to round out the group of already talented returnees. Gabriel is a likely Heisman Trophy finalist who has already thrown for 2,371 yards this season. Even if you ignore the key offensive factors, Oregon has the 10th best defense in the country at 15.6 points per game. Michigan's own defense could be without its best individual player in cornerback Will Johnson, which will only make the game more difficult. The Ducks are legit and I don't think the Wolverines can pull off that big of an upset. Pick: Oregon, 34-9
