Oregon (9-0) appears on track for an undefeated regular season and a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Ducks' final three games are home against Maryland, at Wisconsin and home versus Washington.

The Badgers, meanwhile, are 5-4 and scrapping and clawing to become bowl-eligible. If they lose to Oregon, they'll need to beat Nebraska on the road or defeat Minnesota at home to get to six wins.
