Two of the best college football teams in the country will clash in Seattle Saturday, the seventh-ranked Washington Huskies and the eighth-ranked Oregon Ducks.

Both teams enter Saturday’s game with five wins and no losses.

It's the first time that Washington and Oregon have faced off while both teams were ranked in the AP Football top 10.

Husky quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is the current betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, given to the most outstanding player in college football.

He's currently the number one passer in the country, with nearly 400 yards per game.

ESPN's flagship show College Gameday will also be live from Red Square Saturday morning, for its third visit in Husky history.

This will be the last matchup between Washington and Oregon in Pac-12 history. Both teams will be members of the Big 10 Conference beginning in 2024.
