00:00There's a new number one team atop the AP poll for the first
00:03time in more than a decade. Dan landings Oregon Ducks are ranked
00:07number one in the country and to welcome in this new time of
00:12being the new number one a top 20 tilt today as they host
00:16Illinois. It's a top 20 matchup. It's the second time that
00:20Illinois has played in a top 25 tilt this year in cop more than
00:24three scores. Kevin's a 21 and a half point spread in favor of
00:28the Ducks. Oregon has looked at ilk of a number one team the
00:31last few weeks. How competitive do you expect this game to be
00:35this Saturday afternoon in Austin Stadium? Well, I mean,
00:38about as competitive as the sportsbooks do, which is not
00:42competitive. I mean, that is the thing. This Illinois team, man,
00:46I remember when they were going to Penn State early season, I
00:49go, what a gift for the Nittany Lions. They get to play a top
00:5325 Illinois, they'll drill that team, they'll send them out of
00:57here. Well, Illinois may not make the show again. Top 20
01:01Illinois. This is still going on. I mean, I'll tell you
01:04Illinois pulls off an upset. Yeah, I mean, they might just
01:07crash into like a top five. I don't even know what's going on
01:09anymore. I don't expect it though, man. Oregon has just
01:13kind of been churning, churning, churning this year. The super
01:18slow start. hindsight, maybe the Boise performance was all right.
01:22I don't know. Maybe I know when the FCS National Championship
01:27Kevin's back in. No, no.
01:31But I think I think for the ducks, like you look at this
01:35game here, man. And it is. It's funny. Now, I guess I have come
01:40full circle. Georgian. It's Ohio Stadium. It's, it's they're
01:45playing a top 20 team in the country. And we're just curious
01:47about a cover. They don't feel like they'll be in danger at any
01:50point in this game. They're better offensively. And they're
01:53better defensively. The Ducks defense is continuously
01:57impressing here. Purdue moved the ball. They should have been
02:00shut out. But they were Yeah, they were the only team that
02:04again that have shown so far this year against the Ducks
02:07defense. It was Boise and Ohio State. And that's where they're
02:10like, I don't know if that team's gonna win a title thing.
02:12But the Ducks look built Joe to avoid upset here, which I think
02:17they will in this game. I think this game goes under 54 and a
02:20half though. I don't trust the Illini offense to do their part
02:24with a total like that.
