Here's what to know about how to watch the college football playoff game between James Madison and Oregon this Saturday.
While there are, of course, actual statistics and logical thought that go into the College Football Playoff pairings, I'm not entirely convinced that the Oregon Ducks and the James Madison Dukes weren't paired just because it's a fun matchup to say out loud. Ducks vs. Dukes. Dukes at Ducks. The No. 5 Ducks will host the No. 24 Dukes this Saturday in a first-round playoff matchup at Autzen Stadium. The winner will head to the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day where they'll face the No. 4 Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The Ducks vs. Dukes game airs on TNT and will stream on HBO Max, DirecTV and more. Here's how to watch Saturday's game and what to know about how to watch the rest of the NCAA football season.
