Oregon vs Boise State prediction: Ducks dominate tough regional opponent

Oregon football has spent the past several seasons knocking on the doorstep of a national title, consistently positioning itself as a top-25 team but falling just short of making the College Football Playoff championship game.

Could 2026 finally be the year Dan Lanning's Ducks kick that door down? The Ducks' first step toward that elusive title will take place on Saturday, Sept. 5, when No. 2 Oregon hosts Boise State at 3:30 p.m. ET at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.
