Make no mistake: the entire college football universe is focused on Saturday afternoon's nationally televised game between the Oregon Ducks and the Colorado Buffaloes.

Oregon is the only football team in the entire NCAA that is capable of keeping up with the sheer star power of Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders. Not because they have celebrities lined up on their sidelines but because they have the full force of Nike behind them.

Even the most casual college football fans check in to see what brightly colored uniforms Oregon wears each week. Which by the way, the team is debuting color-changing thermal reactive cleats in today's game. But we need to discuss their pregame sneakers today.

While all eyes will be on Oregon's color-changing cleats today, we would be remiss if we didn't point out the sneakers the Ducks football team wore on their way to Autzen Stadium. Oregon wore LeBron James sneakers in a player-exclusive green and yellow colorway.

More specifically, the Nike LeBron 20 in an 'Oregon Ducks' colorway. James' 20th signature sneaker will forever be a part of basketball history after its namesake broke the NBA's all-time scoring record in the model earlier this year.

Will the Nike LeBron 20 'Oregon Ducks' colorway ever be released to the public? Not a chance. Luckily for fans, they can stock up on Oregon Ducks gear and purchase the Nike LeBron 20 at a discount in most colorways on Nike's website.

Today's game is going to be an absolute treat for college football fans. Regardless of the outcome, Nike will win when two of its schools face off. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news.
