The Oregonian/OregonLive is back with picks for another thrilling weekend of college football.
Week 11 brings a pivotal conference clash as No. 9 Oregon travels to Kinnick Stadium to face No. 20 Iowa on Saturday afternoon. Our sports staff largely believes the Ducks have the edge over the Hawkeyes, with a lone dissenter predicting a Hawkeyes upset.
On Saturday evening, Oregon State takes on the winless Sam Houston State in hopes of extending its winning streak in what’s been an otherwise tough season for the Beavers.
The weekend’s slate also features ranked matchups between No. 7 BYU and No. 8 Texas Tech, as well as No. 3 Texas A&M at No. 22 Missouri. No. 2 Indiana will travel to State College to battle Penn State, while No. 1 Ohio State visits Purdue.
Check out our picks for a dozen games below.
