Autzen at full throttle is an awesome thing to experience, and the College Football Playoff Committee's scheduling choices added extra juice for the Oregon Ducks.
They host the James Madison Ducks at 4:30 p.m. PT on Saturday December 20, televised on TNT, truTV and HBO Max, and the placement is just perfect for Oregon.
A night game guarantees a packed house and a fully energized, fully lubricated crowd, a party atmosphere. It will be loud, festive and enthusiastic. Given that the game is the largest spread of any of the first-round contests at Oregon -21.5, the Ducks are a little lucky to get the primetime TV slot rather than some weird early morning kickoff like Miami at Texas A&M at 9 a.
