ESPN's College Gameday crew makes their picks for UCLA-Oregon

The upcoming college football game between UCLA and Oregon is one of the most significant Big Ten Conference matchups so far this season, and it's also a compelling matchup across the sport in Week 6. Although the game may not be on the same level as an Alabama-Georgia showdown, there is still a lot at stake at Autzen Stadium.

With such a crucial match, ESPN's College Gameday crew has made their picks for the highly anticipated UCLA - Oregon showdown. The UCLA Bruins have received somewhat more support than expected, considering they went 3-9 last year. Pat McAfee, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Kirk Herbstreit all back Oregon, the proven commodity from the Ducks. However, Bryce Young, a guest picker, shows faith in Bob Chesney's feisty Bruins.

The biggest question for Saturday's game involves how Oregon's second-string quarterback, Dylan Raiola, will perform against the Bruins' defense, which has had time to prepare and plan against him. Raiola had a standout performance against USC's defense, but it remains to be seen if Colin Hitschler's defense can limit Raiola's effectiveness.

Hitschler's defense has been impressive against San Diego State and Maryland but struggled against Purdue and Cal. The performance of UCLA's defense on Saturday will play a significant role in determining the outcome of the game. This article originally appeared on UCLA Wire.
