Big Ten Saturday Night doesn't get bigger than this.
Two national title contenders will square off for the first time as conference rivals when No. 2 Ohio State visits No. 3 Oregon in a potential Big Ten title game preview.
Running back Quinshon Judkins and true freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith lead Ohio State's high-powered offense, which is complemented by the top scoring defense in the country. On the other side, senior transfer Dillon Gabriel has led the charge for Oregon and has the nation's best completion percentage (77.8%).
The Ohio State-Oregon matchup marks the first battle between top-three teams on NBC since No. 1 Florida State defeated No. 2 Notre Dame in the "Game of the Century" in 1993. It's also the fourth ever matchup between Ohio State and Oregon, with the Buckeyes notably defeating the Ducks in the first ever College Football Playoff National Championship a decade ago.
