Wild game in Bozeman.  Four safeties, a 100 yard KO return, a 91 yard punt return, and involved two top 5 FCS teams.

Kirk Herbstreit picked UCLA over Oregon on GameDay last week. He might be trying to make up for that wrong with his top-performing team rankings this week.

Week Eight saw the Ducks separate themselves from the rest of the Pac-12 Conference

with ESPN’s College GameDay in town, and the marquee matchup of the Pac-12 season, more eyeballs were on the game.

FOX's Joel Klatt says 'ridiculous' home-field advantage makes Oregon special

 

“They’ve got one of the best home-field advantages in all of college football,” Klatt said on The Joel Klatt Show. Autzen was awesome. 

That place is ridiculously difficult to play. They’ve won 23 straight games there, and that’s one of the best home-field advantages in the sport."

 

And no one talks about it. We never talk about it. Shame on me. Shame on guys like me for not talking about Pac-12 football that way.

We just never talk about atmospheres on the West Coast as being great. That’s a great atmosphere. Oregon’s got one of the best

home-field advantages in the entire sport, and they proved it on Saturday. Good on you, Duck fans. That was fantastic.”
