00:00The other team that's probably the leader in the clubhouse to win the championship on

00:06the FanDuel Sportsbook, although it's close, are the Oregon Ducks.

00:09They beat Penn State 45-37.

00:11Their offense certainly did the job, but their defense came up a little bit short against

00:15Penn State.

00:17And right now, the way that I look at Oregon, Bill, is I understand that they're the favorite,

00:21but I don't know that there's necessarily a reason for me to take them at this point.

00:25I definitely feel like they have a chance to win a game, Bill, but can they run the

00:29table here?

00:30Well, they ran the table in the regular season.

00:32If you'd have told me, the Big Ten championship game would have had 992 total yards.

00:38A shootout favors Oregon every time, though.

00:40You know, Dylan Gabriel threw four touchdowns.

00:42They ran the ball effectively.

00:43Penn State, not used to playing in games like that.

00:46Oregon, that's every year they play in a handful of shootouts like that.

00:51They did that against Boise State.

00:52I think there is some value in them because they are kind of a boring pick despite being

00:5713-0.

00:59We've never seen a 16-0 team in college football.

01:01We saw five 15-0 teams during the four-team era, and they are good enough on both sides

01:05to win.

01:06Their draw is not necessarily friendly.

01:08I hate that first game for them, either a rematch for Ohio State, who was a one-point

01:13loss to them earlier in the year, or Tennessee, who has a physical rushing attack and defense.

01:18So kind of like that basketball game in the tournament where they catch a tough second-round

01:22game.
