Oregon and Washington will play each other for the 115th time Saturday. This is the first time that both have been ranked in the top 10, with the undefeated Huskies No. 7 in the Associated Press poll and the undefeated Ducks No. 8. It is, quite literally, the best of times for an underrated rivalry tucked away in the Pacific Northwest.
And it might never be this good again.
Next season, both will join the Big Ten Conference, along with fellow Pac-12 evacuees USC and UCLA. There will be more money. There also will be more problems. Life is going to become much more difficult.
