They seem to like the Ducks in the game. UCLA’s run game is creative and posses a problem for defenses with the number of athletic OL they use, misdirection, etc. One of the analysts mentioned that he didn’t love Oregon’s linebackers and it will be interesting to watch Oregon’s front 7 against UCLA’s OL.

However, at the end of the day, they didn’t sound like they believed UCLA was quite there yet to go into Autzen and beat a talented Oregon team.

EUGENE - The No. 21 UCLA Bruins have a double challenge this week as they prepare for both Oregon Ducks quarterbacks in starter Dante Moore and backup Dylan Rai

A Prove It Week for Powerhouse Programs, and also for their opponents: No. 13 OBD, No. 21 UCLA, No. 7 Indiana, No. 31 Nebraska, No. 1 Texas, No. 16 Florida, and No. 10 LSU. And LSU's opponent, No. 26 Kentucky, wants to return to the Top 25.

Top Dawg in the SEC? I think it will be determined, at least through Week 6, when No. 2 Georgia plays No. 7 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. I've added these two SEC powerhouses to the discussion. I think both teams would defeat No. 1 Texas.

If Nebraska isn't ranked in the Top 25 because of the quality of the teams it has played, why are No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 4 Miami ranked?

The team that exposed cracks in the Indiana defense? The should be ranked in the Top 25, No. 30 Northwestern Wildcats which after the beatdown of Penn State is now 4-1 with the loss on the road against No. 7 Indiana.

Northwestern also destroyed B12 Colorado. If NW played ball in the SEC it would be ranked.
