College Gameday heads to Seattle for the potential game of the year in the Pac-12 as the Oregon Ducks head up north to face their bitter rival Washington. Both teams have been led to 5-0 starts through outstanding transfer QB play, Bo Nix (Auburn) for the Ducks, and Michael Penix Jr. (Indiana) for the Huskies. Star transfers will be on all sides of the ball, and Oregon DBs Khyree Jackson and Tysheem Johnson will need to be great to slow down the Huskies prolific passing game. Ducks will look for revenge in a hostile environment.
