The No. 16 Oregon Ducks (6-3 overall, 4-2 Big Ten) are searching for a potential chance to enter the College Football Playoff after jumping seven spots in the CFP Selection Committee's rankings following Oregon's road win against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

That chance continues with an Autzen Stadium game against the Michigan Wolverines (5-4 overall, 2-4 Big Ten).

Oregon, entering off their 41-28 victory against the Buckeyes, continue to flex a strong defense (though it remains to be seen the impact of the loss of senior edge rusher Teitum Tuioti, who is out for the season). Junior quarterback Dylan Raiola put up 257 passing yards for 25-40 in accuracy and two touchdowns with running back Dierre Hill Jr. clocking in 75 rushing yards and two touchdowns off 13 carries.

Michigan, on the other hand, is facing several of the problems that the Ducks faced earlier in their season after a 15-6 home loss against the Michigan State Spartans. Coach Kyle Whittingham fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck postgame, and the quarterback position is in flux.

Michigan Quarterback Questions

After the Wolverines' 15-6 loss at home against their in-state rival, the Michigan State Spartans, head coach Kyle Whittingham admitted that the starting quarterback position was open yet again, a week after emphasizing freshman Tommy Carr was the Wolverines' go-to quarterback going forward.

"To be determined," Whittingham said. "But there was consideration about, you know, whether to insert Bryce [Underwood] and try to create something and after discussion, it was determined that, you know, stay the course with what we had in that particular game. But going forward, we'll take a look at everything again and see what gives us the best chance to win as it always comes down to that."
