The No. 1-ranked Oregon Ducks face the Michigan Wolverines in Week 10. The game will kick off on Saturday, Nov 2, at Michigan Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET.

The Ducks (5-0 Big Ten) enter this game undefeated 8-0 and wield an argument for the best team in college football.

The Wolverines enter this game a middling 5-3 (3-2 Big Ten) and one of the most disappointing teams in the nation, having won the national championship last season.

Oregon vs. Michigan Preview

Oregon enters this game with all the momentum in the world after posting a 38-9 victory over the then-No. 20-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini.

The win was one of quarterback Dillon Gabriel's more complete performances, going 18/26 with 291 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and just one interception. Wide receiver Tez Johnson was the star through the air for Oregon with 102 receiving yards and a touchdown, his first game of 100 yards or more in October.

The new-face offensive line for Oregon had some question marks heading into the year, with changes highlighted by the departure of center Jackson Powers-Johnson. But they've given Gabriel all the time he needs.

"They've done a great job," Gabriel said on the offensive line. "I think people try to switch it up in that way as a quarterback, whether it's simulated pressures to create urgency on your end or starting in a bear front and going to drop eight. They're trying to speed you up when you should slow down. I think our O-Line does a great job of that and helping me."

Michigan is entering the game on a surprisingly positive note after they beat in-state rival Michigan State Spartans 24-17 to avoid a three-game losing streak.

It was an unusual box score for the Wolverines. Quarterback Davis Warren led the team in passing with 123 yards, but their rushing lead at 64 yards was Alex Orji, another quarterback.

Michigan continues to search for its true identity on offense and will need to grasp it to have a complete chance against Oregon.

The return of Myles Hinton at left tackle was very noticeable, as Michigan looked physically comfortable throughout the game. Hopefully, he can be leaned on as a stabilizing piece.

“(Hinton is) a tone-setter," head ccoach Sherrone Moore said. "Definitely a guy that has NFL capabilities and really played at a really good level (Saturday).”

Prediction: Oregon 31 - Michigan 10
