Both No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 Oklahoma received tough tests at home against unranked conference foes on Saturday night, but managed to escape with victories on a day full of upsets and close calls for ranked teams. Oregon defeated Arizona 41-19, but only after the Wildcats pulled within 24-19 late in the third quarter. Timely interceptions helped the Ducks improve to 4-0 as they picked off Arizona quarterback Jordan McCloud five times. Two of the interceptions came in the red zone, and another one was returned for a touchdown by Bennett Williams in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
Earlier in the evening, Kicker Gabe Brkic drilled a 30-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Sooners to 4-0 with a 16-13 victory over a West Virginia team that gave QB Spencer Rattler and Co. fits all night with a stingy defense. When it mattered most, though, Rattler engineered a 72-yard drive to set up the game-winning kick, redeeming an otherwise underwhelming performance for the redshirt sophomore.
The tight games for both Oklahoma and Oregon demonstrated how few truly elite teams there appear to be at this point in the season. They were fortunate to avoid the same fate as fellow top-10 teams like No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 9 Clemson, both of which took losses Saturday as chaos enveloped the sport for much of the day.
