The Utah Utes take their four-game winning streak on the road to play in one of the toughest locations in college football. They travel to Eugene, Oregon to take on the Oregon Ducks. What might have been for the Ducks? Oregon's lone loss was to the undefeated and #1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs. If the Ducks had run the table, they would have a strong case for consideration in the college football playoffs. Of course, that was before last week when the Ducks were upset by the Washington Huskies. The Oregon program doesn't fade from existence and responds to adversity. Some large-scale bowl games await the winner, and there remains a lot on the line. Who will walk away victorious?
