00:00oregon at iowa both of them four and one in the conference control their own destiny

00:05this is huge for both who do you got in this game yeah oregon schlegs one of those teams that when

00:10you compare the cfp rankings to the ap poll kind of one of the bigger disparities oregon in the ap

00:16top 25 number six number nine in the official college football playoff rankings the reason why

00:21is when you look at the ducks resume right now despite at the time maybe one of the better wins

00:26in college football at the end of september the double ot thriller in happy valley it doesn't

00:31really hold the weight it does oregon's best win and its only win against a power conference team

00:36above 500 is northwestern on the road in evanston so this is a huge opportunity for oregon to prove

00:43what the metrics are saying we are still a top five or top three team in college football which is

00:48where i believe dan lanning has his squad but iowa number 20 in the cfp poll i thought they would be

00:55in the top 25 and when they didn't get listed on the first five teams 25 through 21 i was like oh

01:00my god what the disrespect the hawkeyes are dealing with at 20 i was a little bit surprised but it's

01:06official this is the first time since november of 2019 iowa has hosted a ranked team in kinnick it is

01:13just the third ranked versus ranked november home game for the hawks since 2010 that game in 2010

01:20against ohio state as well i was a really good team iowa is playing the perfect vision of kurt

01:27ferrens football this year they are disciplined they commit the fewest penalties in the country

01:31they are great up front in terms of physicality maybe one of the best offensive lines in the country

01:36week in week out and what tim lester has unlocked as the offensive coordinator in the last two years 11

01:42games with more than 200 rushing yards that's going to be the key it's supposed to be wet cold sloppy

01:48on saturday afternoon in iowa city that probably benefits the iowa hawkeyes and playing the game

01:54that they want but oregon is really good and let's not overlook what the ducks have done this year they're

01:59a top 10 scoring offense and defense they are one of four programs in the country that can claim that

02:06oregon is ready for this fight they have the physicality as well the number is six and a half

02:11a lot of sharp money and public money on the iowa hawkeyes expecting them to keep this game close

02:16and if it's a six and a half point spread and iowa is keeping the game close that is in line for an

02:21outright victory or maybe at least a field goal game at the bitter end i think it's a really good

02:27one i think it's within a single possession i still think oregon wins on the road despite the

02:33atmosphere we are going to see in kinnick stadium but this game is not decided by more than a single
