This Saturday, college football fans will witness a rare clash as No. 1 Oregon takes on No. 20 Illinois for the first time since 1995.
Both teams are entering the matchup with impressive records: the Ducks are undefeated at 7-0, a milestone they haven't reached since 2013, while the Illini boast a solid 6-1 record, having already claimed victories against three ranked opponents.
Illinois comes into this game with a notable history against top-ranked teams, having last faced a No. 1 when they upset Ohio State in 2007. The Illini's recent performance, highlighted by a strong home win over Michigan, showcases their ability to force turnovers, which will be crucial in this high-stakes environment.
On the other hand, Oregon is riding high after a decisive 35-0 victory over Purdue, reaffirming their status as a national contender. Coach Dan Lanning's squad has found its rhythm after a shaky start to the season, reclaiming the top spot in the polls following a significant win against Ohio State.
