8. Alabama Crimson Tide vs. 9. Oregon Ducks
The Alabama Crimson Tide ventured North and hammered the Wisconsin Badgers with a comprehensive performance over their Big Ten foe. Alabama is now 3-0, and Jalen Milroe had five touchdowns in the blowout. The Crimson Tide have been better than expected on defense thus far, but they have not faced an offense yet with the athletes capable of testing them. That will change after their bye week as they welcome No. 1 Georgia to Tuscaloosa for one of the season's biggest games. In this projection, Alabama would host the Oregon Ducks in the first round. After surviving the season’s first two weeks, the Ducks appear to have begun figuring things out. They hammered rivals Oregon State in Corvallis, outgaining the Beavers 546 to 309 yards in the 49-14 win. The offensive line performed much better than they had previously and began to resemble the unit most expected them to be this season. Oregon has a bye week before playing at UCLA, but everyone’s eyes are directed toward the showdown with Ohio State on October 12.
