Round two of an amazing rivalry in college football. The Ducks and Huskies will face off in just two day for all the marbles. All eyes will be on the Pac-12 championship game that features two top five teams and two of the elite quarterbacks in college football.

We know how it played out in round one. Can the Ducks get revenge in the game that matters most?

Here are our predictions.

Jarrid Denney: Oregon 42, Washington 31 

I’m taking the Ducks — and the 9.5 points. Simply put: Oregon has improved significantly in all facets of the game since the two teams faced off in Seattle. I’ve been really impressed with how the Ducks’ pass rush has progressed throughout the season, as well as the defensive depth that has emerged. I think they are better suited to stop the Huskies than they were in Week 7 and it goes without saying that playing in a neutral venue will help.

Joel Gunderson: Oregon 42, Washington 28

To look as subjective as possible, I have tried to find every way the Huskies can win this game. And with that offense, they 100% can. 

But this isn’t October 14th, this won’t be Seattle…and this is not the same Ducks. Honestly, the loss in Seattle might be the best thing that happened to Oregon, as they have hit a different gear since that crushing loss. This is the most motivated and talented Oregon team I can remember, and they want nothing more than to make the playoffs and keep their biggest rival out simultaneously.

Doug Scott: Oregon 35, Washington 21

The Ducks pull away in the third and have a prolonged 4th quarter celebration on their way to the final Pac-12 title and a playoff berth against Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Corpatty: Oregon 38 Washington 30

I wanted to predict Oregon big here, I really did.  But you’ll have to settle for an eight point win.  UW’s ability to attack Oregon’s safeties and Dontae Manning will allow them to hit some chunk plays and keep this game close. But Oregon’s balanced offense will keep Oregon ahead throughout in this one and the defense will come up with a big stop in the final minute to thwart UW’s attempt to tie the game. 

Jhop: Oregon 51, Washington 34

You know what, screw it. This was my score prediction last time and I’m going with it again. I guess I feel better about it this time around. Neutral field, the way the two teams are playing, all the things we’ve discussed already. This team is just locked in. They are ready for Washington this time around. Now can they stop them? I guess we’ll see. But I trust in Lanning and Bo and this team to get it done on Friday.
