There’s a gigantic, first-time conference showdown inside the Big Ten between Ohio State and Oregon taking place in Week 7, so ESPN had to bring College GameDay to Eugene on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams are undefeated, so the showdown will have giant College Football Playoff implications. Outside of Autzen Stadium, other clashes like the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, as well as Penn State traveling to the West Coast to face USC will adorn screens throughout America.

Before all the action takes place, the College GameDay crew made their selections for Week 7’s slate. Joining the desk as the Celebrity Guest Picker was none other than Kaitlin Olson of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fame, who was born in Portland in 1975, and is an Oregon graduate from 1997. Check out all of their picks below.

ESPN College GameDay Picks for Week 7:

Ohio State at Oregon: Herbstreit and Saban are on the Buckeyes, while Howard, McAfee and Olson are on the Ducks to get the job done in Autzen Stadium on Saturday evening.

Red River Rivalry — Texas vs. Oklahoma: Kirk Herbstreit is calling the game so he’s not picking, but the rest of the crew had to make their selections known. Everyone is on the Longhorns though.

Kansas State at Colorado: Coach Prime made an appearance on College GameDay, would that help the Buffaloes’ case? The Wildcats are favored, but the whole crew is on Colorado.

Ole Miss at LSU: Olson dropped a Joey Freshwater reference while picking the Rebels, and Saban and McAfee agree, but Howard and Herbstreit are on the Tigers.

Penn State at USC: Nobody is a believer in the Trojans on the College GameDay set.

Florida at Tennessee: The whole crew is on the Volunteers on Saturday.

California at Pittsburgh: Olson and Herbstreit believe in the Golden Bears over the Panthers.

Arizona at BYU: Olson is the lone dissenter, riding with the Wildcats in Week 7.

Iowa State at West Virginia: Howard, Saban and Herbstreit are on the Cyclones, while Olson and McAfee are on the Mountaineers.

Washington at Iowa: Another interesting Big Ten clash for the Huskies. They weren’t very popular in Eugene, or on the desk, as everyone is on the Hawkeyes.

Police officers in Portland, Oregon, stopped a car Tuesday night when they noticed a bag inside that said “Definitely not a bag full of drugs”. It, in fact, was – full of drugs: 79 blue fentanyl pills, three fake oxycodone tablets and 230g of methamphetamine, to be exact.

Officers pulled over a man and a woman who were driving a stolen car near the intersection of SE 162nd Avenue and Division, according to the Portland police bureau. Inside the car, officers noticed that the Ford Taurus’s ignition had been visibly tampered with – and spotted baggies of drugs.

“The driver and passenger were both arrested,” said Portland police public information officer Sergeant Kevin Allen. “Inside the vehicle was a substantial number of packaged drugs including methamphetamine and blue fentanyl pills, multiple scales, money and a loaded firearm.”

Many of the baggies of drugs had been stored in a brown canvas bag reading “Definitely not a bag full of drugs”. A photo of the officers’ bust – including the bag – garnered media attention on X.

The suspects – Reginald Reynolds, 35, and Mia Baggenstos, 37 – are both facing charges of drug possession and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Reynolds has been charged with delivery of methamphetamine, unlawful possession of methamphetamine, unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of a stolen vehicle, and possession of a controlled substance in the first degree. Baggenstos faces nearly the same charges – except possession of a controlled substance in the second degree.

In 2020, Oregon made history when it decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs (much smaller than the amounts officers found Tuesday), in an effort to redirect city funding from criminalization and toward treatment of substance-use disorders. The measure passed with high levels of public support that faltered as overdose and homelessness rates rose in the state during the Covid-19 pandemic – when fentanyl also became widely available and affordable housing less so.

In September, the state recriminalized drug possession under a Democratic-controlled legislature.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are prepared to face off against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday night. Ryan Day knows how big of a game this will be for his team and also knows that it will be a difficult matchup.

Day and his team have dominated the first five games on their 2024 schedule. Last week, they were able to blow out the Iowa Hawkeyes by a final score of 35-7.

While they have made things look easy this season, the No. 2 Ohio State squad has not faced a test like they will have against No. 3 ranked Oregon.

As difficult as the matchup will be, it also presents a huge opportunity for the Buckeyes. Another big win would make them a clear-cut national championship favorite.

They already have that title, but defeating the Ducks would cement that status even more.

Ahead of Saturday’s game, Day issued a bold statement. It was a short and sweet comment, but one that sums up the matchup ahead of Ohio State.

“We have to take the next step this week.”

That statement is 100 percent true. Beating a solid Iowa team was a nice win, but it’s far from a statement. Beating Oregon would be a major statement.

It will be interesting to get our first look at the Buckeyes playing a legitimate national championship contender. The hype surrounding Ohio State has been enjoyable so far this year, but now it’s time to go earn it.

Hopfully, Day and the Buckeyes will be able to take the next step. They need to start fast and play consistently at a high level. There is no question that they have the talent to continue winning the way they have shown so far this season.

Defensively, Ohio State has to shut down the big plays. They can’t allow Oregon to move the ball quickly. Each and every play, the Buckeyes must have a “grind it out” mentality and out-play the Ducks.

Make sure to tune in on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. EST on NBC to see if Ohio State can pull off the big win on the road against Oregon.
