The No. 9 Oregon Ducks are coming off a bye, kicking off their final stretch of games. Despite holding a 7-1 record, Oregon has a challenging remaining schedule that could impact the Ducks' College Football Playoff rankings.

Iowa beat No. 9 Wisconsin, 30-7, in Kinnick to claim a share of the 2004 Big Ten title, but there were no national implications. The Hawkeyes ran the table in 2002 conference play, but without any imposing opponents or drama down the stretch.

It may be the middle of football season, but basketball is finally back in Eugene, and Dana Altman leads the Oregon Ducks into Matthew Knight Arena on Tuesday night to tip off the 2025-26 season with a promising bunch of players who are looking to make a run deep into March.

The Oregon Ducks will be playing against one of the more unique quarterbacks in the Big Ten during their road visit to Kinnick Stadium against the Iowa Hawkeyes, though Mark Gronowski's health will certainly be something to watch.

The first batch of College Football Playoff rankings will released on Tuesday night, so how can you tune in to see where the Oregon Ducks stand?
