Saturday at Autzen (2:30 CT, CBS). Preseason AP No. 2 Oregon (HX No. 4, 6.97) hosts Boise State. HX has Oregon −25.1 (89.4%). Public books sit in the mid-20s — CBS Sports / Bleacher Report around Oregon −24.5, total near 51.5. HASHMARK’s Vegas column on this game is blank, so that is not a HASHMARK close.
Oregon’s long FBS nonconference home streak meets a Pac-12 flagship with recent CFP history. HX is slightly cooler than AP (−2) and still top-five. If Boise keeps it inside two scores, that is a national story.
Why it matters
Best on-paper Week 1 game that isn’t ranked-ranked; CFP path optics.
