Oregon vs. Cal 2018: Time, TV/streaming info, and prediction
Cal faces their first ranked opponent of the season in Oregon on Saturday.

Oregon started the season with three dominant wins, but ran into then-No. 7 Stanford in their last outing, and came up short by a touchdown. They’re now 3-1, with another ranked matchup on the schedule after Cal (Washington).
Cal took down UNC and BYU in close matchups to start their season, then blew out Idaho State in their last outing. Oregon will be their first ranked opponent, with a couple more on the schedule for later in the season.
