No. 18 Utah is entering dangerous territory as the Utes head over to Oregon to play the Ducks at Autzen Stadium on the Oregon Campus. The Utes, of the non-BCS Mountain West Conference, need a win over the BCS – Pac 10 – Ducks, to enhance their BCS hopes. A loss would severly hurt their BCS chances, especially since they are already behind current BCS Busters BYU and Boise State in the polls. Saturday's game will also be a rallying cry for the Ducks who seem to have rebounded since the LeGarrette Blount incident at Boise State in week 1. The win over unranked Purdue in week 2 was nice but a win over a ranked team such as Utah would be good medicine.
