By WYNTON SKOWRUP, OREGON SPORTS NEWSWeek one of college football is always something akin to a mad dash: fans rushing to see if their favorite team lives up to expectations, teams struggling under the weight of said pressure, coaches being placed on and off the proverbial hot seat, star players crashing and burning in new, transfer-aided homes. All in all, it’s exactly what the college football world has been waiting for since the minute the last national championship game ended.

By MO DAMTEW, OREGON SPORTS NEWSIn the 139 meetings between the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders, we have seen goal fests in the playoffs, historic comebacks, and literal riots, making this matchup arguably the fiercest rivalry in North American soccer. More fireworks are destined to come in match 140. Just three points separate the two clubs in the Western Conference standings heading into the latest installment of this storied derby at Providence Park this Saturday.

By STEVEN VAUGHANEach week Steven Vaughan will predict the score of every Oregon State Beavers football game. This week the Beavers take on the Idaho State Bengals from Reser Stadium. The Beavers are -27.5 on Saturday. There are a lot of question marks surrounding the Oregon State football program. This week one matchup against the Idaho State Bengals shouldn’t be close. Gevani McCoy was named starting quarterback for the Beavers, and I expect McCoy to have a big game.

By STEVEN VAUGHAN, 750 THE GAMEI am a degenerate. I can’t deny it. So I will give out my top five college football plays weekly. My first play is a Friday game. TCU @ Stanford +8.5I love Stanford in this Friday night game. I know the Cardinal weren’t very good a season ago, and they didn’t add much in the portal. But I am a Troy Taylor truther. He is a coach who is excellent and will get Stanford back to their winning ways. It may not be this season, but it will be soon.

By STEVEN VAUGHANEach week Steven Vaughan will predict the score of every Oregon Ducks game. This week the Ducks are in Eugene playing against the Idaho Vandals. The Ducks are -43.5 on Saturday against Idaho. This is a week one game that should be easy for Oregon. Idaho is a good FCS program, but nowhere near the caliber of Oregon. Last year, Oregon dominated Portland State 81-7. I don’t expect a repeat performance of that, but I don’t know why Oregon can’t dominate on Saturday.
