No. 9 Oregon Visits No. 20 Iowa in Rainy Big Ten Test With CFP Stakes

Projections favor Oregon by roughly a touchdown in Iowa City.

Overview

  • Oregon (7-1) faces Iowa (6-2) at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. PT / 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
  • Sportsbooks and ESPN’s SP+ and FPI models give the Ducks a narrow edge, clustering around a one-score margin (about 5–7.5 points).
  • Forecasts call for cold, rainy conditions that could suppress big plays and strain Oregon’s passing attack.
  • Iowa leans on an elite, fundamentally sound defense and a run-first offense, with Kinnick’s homefield intensity expected to factor in a low-tempo game.
  • Oregon seeks a résumé-building road win as its offense works through recent inconsistency and quarterback Dante Moore looks to regain early-season efficiency.
