The Orange have excelled on the road, picking up wins at UNLV and N.C. State. Ohio State transfer Kyle McCord, who ranks second in the nation with 360 passing yards per game, should light up the Panthers’ 95th-ranked pass defense. Pitt’s four wins against Power Four teams have come by an average of just over four points per game.

After taking down Ohio State and pummeling Purdue, Oregon now finds itself ranked No. 1 in the nation. Up against visiting Illinois in Week 9, we expect the Ducks to keep rolling. As No. 1 teams continue to drop like flies, the college football landscape — specifically at the top — continues to shift.
