4. Stanford at No. 12 Oregon

Seen as the front-runner in the Pac-12 and the best hope for the conference to get back to the playoff, Oregon opens up their season at home against rival Stanford and I think this will be one of the most interesting games to watch this season.

Oregon is replacing a lot of talent that left to go to the NFL like quarterback Justin Herbert, and some players that opted out like star left tackle Penei Sewell. The Ducks are talented at running back and on the defensive line, but are replacing a lot of starters in the secondary and at quarterback.

Stanford is looking for a bounce-back season after having an unusually down year in 2019.

Head coach David Shaw is one of the most respected coaches in the business and with quarterback Davis Mills a year older, the Cardinal are hoping to have a chance to pull the upset on Saturday night and this is a game worth watching.
