It isn’t rivalry week as we’ve traditionally come to know it at the end of November over the years, but we’ve got what can be described as a pseudo-rivalry week here in the middle of September.
The Oregon Ducks will travel up to Corvallis to face the Oregon State Beavers in the Civil War, and the Washington Huskies will meet the Washington State Cougars in Seattle for the Apple Cup. While it may be strange that these matchups are taking place in September, they will still have all of the fiery passion that we’re used to.
Along with that passion and hype, we get to see some notable attention from ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday morning. The GameDay Crew made its picks for Saturday’s winner in the Civil War. Here’s how they selected:
Desmond Howard: Oregon
Pat McAfee: Oregon
Nick Saban: Oregon
Guest Picker Dawn Staley: Oregon
Lee Corso: Oregon
Kirk Herbstreit: Oregon
The game between Oregon and Oregon State kicks off at 12:30 p.m. PT on FOX in Corvallis, Oregon.
