Here are three things I'll be watching this week in college football.
-- Oregon opens Pac-12 play at home against Colorado (2:30 p.m./Pac-12 Networks), and I expect the Ducks to win going away.
The Buffaloes are better than they have been, but not good enough to beat an Oregon team still smarting from a three-point loss last week at Nebraska. Look for the Ducks to get a fast start and never let up.
-- Oregon State meets Boise State in a non-leaguer in Reser Stadium (12:30 p.m./FS1), and this is a difficult matchup for the Beavers.
