ESPN's College Gameday crew makes their picks for UCLA-Oregon

The ESPN College GameDay crew made their predictions ahead of Saturday’s high-stakes Big Ten showdown between No. 13 Oregon and No.

21 UCLA, with only two analysts backing the Bruins. Kirk Herbstreit and guest picker Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers quarterback, were the sole voices to select UCLA over the favored Ducks.

The Bruins enter the match undefeated after defeating Cal, San Diego State, and Purdue in their first four games, while Oregon looks to solidify its College Football Playoff hopes with a victory. The game at Autzen Stadium could prove challenging for UCLA, which has faced heavy penalties in recent outings, but the Bruins’ momentum and a potential home-court advantage for Young—who grew up in the area—add intrigue to the clash.

The outcome will mark a pivotal moment for both teams, with Oregon’s playoff trajectory hanging in the balance.
