▶ Angelique S. Chengelis: Oregon is as complete a team as they come and will pose problems for Michigan, which is incomplete in so many areas. The Wolverines are coming off a confidence-boosting win over Michigan State and have taken the approach of destroying seasons for the ranked teams they face, starting with the No. 1 Ducks. If Michigan has a chance to wreak havoc on Oregon, the Wolverines will need a game like last week’s, where they had no turnovers, no penalties and allowed no sack of Davis Warren, who will start for a second. game in a row and fifth time this season. They could also use cornerback Will Johnson back in the starting lineup. Sure, it’s tough to play across the country, but there’s not much slowing down the Ducks and quarterback Dillon Gabriel these days. Pick: Oregon, 31-14

▶ Connor Earegood: The defending national champions versus the team that will probably win next. Passing the torch won’t be much fun for the Wolverines. They lost this game six months ago when they failed to find a quarterback in the transfer portal, which has led to Davis Warren taking the reins again. The Ducks, meanwhile, signed Dillon Gabriel to complement a number of already talented returners. Gabriel is a likely Heisman Trophy finalist who has already thrown for 2,371 yards this season. Even if you ignore the difference makers on offense, Oregon has the 10th best defense in the country, allowing 15.6 points per game. Michigan’s own defense could be without its best individual player in cornerback Will Johnson, which will only make for a more difficult outing. The Ducks are legit, and I don’t think the Wolverines are that upset. Pick: Oregon, 34-9
