          The college football season keeps rolling on, and with it comes more fresh uniforms.

          One constant in the college football uniform game? Oregon bringing the heat. The Ducks are back on the charge this season, having notched back-to-back wins following a mid-season skid, and their uniforms for Week 11's test against Michigan match the program's restored swagger.

          Oregon's threads for the week take on a more grayscale theme, eschewing the bright neon green and yellow colors for a look that leans into black and grey. Green can still be found in small supply on the jersey, though -- outlining the metallic grey numbers on a jet black background.

          Plenty of other teams are bringing their A-game with their uniforms this week. Here are the top looks from around college football.

          Houston

          Staring down the home stretch of a crowded race for the Big 12 title game, Houston is bringing out some strong uniforms to add some extra momentum to the tank. The Cougars will be wearing a clean set of icy whites against Colorado on Friday night, with the all-white base complemented by light blue and red accents.

          Rice

          Houston isn't the only team in H-Town bringing the heat on the field -- fellow Space City resident Rice is also styling. The Owls' drip is centered on the helmet they will wear which, instead of the school's traditional "R" logo, will feature a lone owl wing for a simple yet elegant design.

          Virginia

          Virginia will also be going with an alternate helmet for its game against Cal, taking up a patriotic theme. The Cavaliers' usual logo features the letter V above a pair of swords -- on this helmet the V stays, but in a different font, and while the swords are gone, the letter does take on a red-white-and-blue colorway.

          Wake Forest

          Some of the most underrated uniforms in the game belong to Wake Forest, whose gold and black color scheme can produce a variety of aesthetically excellent results. This week, the Demon Deacons are actually leaning into a white base for their jerseys, but their helmets will catch the eye most of all -- chrome gold lids with a sleek black "Deacs" wordmark.

          Charlotte

          Gold will also be a theme for Charlotte, which is leaning into the color for its game against East Carolina. The 49ers' helmet and jersey gold is more of a light shade than Wake's chrome helmets, but it mixes with white and green elements elsewhere on the uniform for a strong look.
