ESPN’s FPI predicts the outcome of Washington-Oregon in Week 14
Published:
ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) predicts the outcome of every college football game ahead of each weekend. With Week 13 in the books, the model has updated its predictions for Rivalry Week.
One of the most heated rivalry games of the weekend will be Washington at Oregon. The model sees Oregon as a heavy favorite, giving the Ducks an 88.8% chance to knock off Washington. This means the Huskies are getting just an 11.2% chance to upset the Ducks in Eugene.
Entering this matchup, the Ducks are sitting at 11-0 overall and 8-0 in B1G play. The team has impressive wins over Ohio State, Boise State, and Illinois on their resume and have already cemented their place in the Big Ten Championship Game.
The Huskies, meanwhile, will enter Week 14 with a 6-5 overall record with a 4-4 mark in conference play. The Huskies have quality wins over Michigan and USC and have already secured bowl eligibility. However, the team would love nothing more than to hand their rivals a loss and secure their 4th-straight win in the series.
These teams play every season and the Huskies have 63 wins compared to the Ducks’ 48. In 2023, the Huskies won the regular season matchup and the rematch in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Washington went on to appear in the College Football Playoff while Oregon was left out.
In 2024, the Ducks have a top-20 offense and defense. The team has the No. 7 total offense and the No. 20 total defense. Meanwhile, the Huskies have the No. 57 total offense and the No. 19 total defense.
This rivalry game will kick off from Autzen Stadium on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.
