Following a curtain drop on a historic annual matchup and an in-state rivalry game coming to a head, College Football at Cosm continues.

Saturday started with Alabama and LSU meeting one last time before the annual game takes its hiatus in 2027. And once again, LSU left defeated, losing 31-13. Alabama winning 8 of the last 10 against LSU is a storyline at play, but the bigger story is Lane Kiffin. Despite coaching at three different schools with different rosters, Kiffin continues to fall against Alabama, going 0-6 as of Saturday. To make matters worse for the Tigers, their CFP hopes are shot, ending this annual matchup on a sour note for LSU fans.

Saturday rolled on with Georgia's revenge game against Ole Miss, and revenge is what they got. The Bulldogs routed the Rebels 42-7, but the game was not without drama. Fans were not shy in expressing their frustration and began throwing bottles and trash onto the field during the game. It wasn't long before the SEC announced that it would be fining the University of Mississippi $250,000 as a result of the poor behavior displayed by fans.

The drama continued on Saturday with the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy. This Michigan State vs. Michigan rivalry game did not seem to hold the same weight as years past given the circumstances of their seasons so far. Regardless, both teams entered the rivalry game with a winning mindset. Only the Spartans came out victorious, beating the Wolverines 15-6 in the 'Big House' and snapping their six-game losing streak.

In Week 11, Cosm is transporting fans to Autzen Stadium to see if Michigan can bounce back against Oregon.

This Week In College Football at Cosm

Michigan (5-4) vs. #16 Oregon (6-3)

Last Meeting: Michigan (17-38) Oregon (2025)

Michigan is heading to Oregon to face the Ducks at Autzen Stadium.

And we've been keeping up with Michigan. Coming off a demoralizing loss against their in-state rivals, the Wolverines' season is on the brink. Their offense has been putting up disappointing performances week after week. So much so, head coach Kyle Whittingham fired the Wolverines' offensive coordinator.

Oregon, on the other hand, has found themselves going through a resurgence. After two consecutive wins against ranked opponents, the Ducks are consistently climbing the AP Top 25 and the CFP rankings. Oregon is facing a team whose only hope is a strong defensive line, without one of its star defensive players, Teitum Tuioti, after a season-ending knee injury.

Looking at this matchup, fans are left wondering. Will Oregon continue their resurgence against a struggling Michigan team? Or will Michigan turn over a new leaf against this ranked Oregon team? At Cosm, fans have the best seat in the house to witness the action unfold in Shared Reality.

Learn A New Tradition

The Oregon Duck's Harley-Davidson Debut

It's game day at the University of Oregon!

And just before kickoff, there are a couple of unique traditions that make football at Autzen Stadium particularly special. One of those traditions involves none other than the Oregon Duck mascot himself, Puddles.

Let's set the scene. Fans take 'The Walk to Autzen' and flood the stadium, creating a wave of green, yellow, or black-depending on what the color schedule says, of course. We are mere moments away from kickoff, and fans hear the distinct sound of an engine revving.

That is, the engine of the Harley-Davidson that Puddles rides in to lead the Ducks onto the field. The iconic motorcycle is decked out in Oregon colors and driven by Matt Hogan, a lifelong Duck fan who sells commercial real estate as his day job.

Since the tradition's inception in 1997, Hogan is only the fourth person to ride alongside Puddles on that Harley-Davidson. Although this tradition isn't the oldest in the book, it is among one of the most exciting in College Football.

And one thing is for certain: Puddles and the Oregon Ducks know how to rev up a crowd on gameday.
