Ohio State-Oregon is ESPN's Game of the Week.

On Saturday, ESPN announced that College GameDay will be in Eugene for the top-10 showdown between Ohio State and Oregon.

Ohio State and Oregon will both enter the contest undefeated. The Buckeyes have wins over Akron, Western Michigan, Marshall, Michigan State and Iowa this season. The Ducks have victories over Idaho, No. 21 Boise State, Oregon State, UCLA and Michigan State.

The battle between the Buckeyes and Ducks has been anticipated as one of the best games on the college football schedule in 2024. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Ohio State will travel to the West Coast as three-point favorites over Oregon; however, that line could shift after the Buckeyes beat Iowa, 35-7, in Columbus and the Ducks beat Michigan State, 31-10, in Eugene.

Ohio State is 40-19 all-time when GameDay is on campus for one of its games. The team's latest win came over Notre Dame in 2023, and its most recent defeat was a 30-24 loss to Michigan in the same season.
