No. 9 UCLA (6-0) enters this game as the last remaining unbeaten team in the Pac-12, and therefore the conference’s best bet to make the College Football Playoff. No. 10 Oregon (5-1) also has an outside shot, but the Ducks’ 49-3 loss to Georgia in the beginning of the season looms large.
Adding to the drama of the matchup is the fact that Bruins coach Chip Kelly is making just his third return trip to Eugene after leaving the program after the 2012 season to coach in the NFL. He is 0-3 all time coaching UCLA against his former program — will the fourth time be the charm?
