Week four of Pac-12 play featured a 32-point comeback, a win against an SEC team, and a Friday night upset.
1. #13 Oregon (3-1)
The Ducks held Stanford to just 234 yards in their 21-6 win. Outside of a bad quarter against Auburn, Oregon has looked the part of a top-10 team.
Next Opponent: Idle
2. #17 Washington (3-1)
The Huskies dominated in Provo, hammering BYU, 45-19. Quarterback Jacob Eason passed for 290 yards and three touchdowns. UW also got a defensive and special teams TD in the win.
Next Opponent: vs USC
3. #15 California (4-0)
The Golden Bears traveled across the country and got a goal line stand to beat Ole Miss, 28-20. QB Chase Garbers continues to improve as he passed for 357 yards and four touchdowns.
Next Opponent: vs Arizona State
4. #21 USC (3-1)
The Trojans lost another QB as Kedon Slovis left the game with a possible concussion in the second quarter. Third string QB Matt Fink went on to pass for 351 yards and three touchdowns in USC’s 30-23 win over No. 10 Utah. With USC’s talented wide receivers and their new air raid offense, quarterback seems to be less of a concern.
Next Opponent: at Washington
5. #19 Utah (3-1)
The Utes’ secondary struggled against USC’s talented wideouts in their 30-23 loss at the Coliseum. The health of star running back Zack Moss, who left the game with an apparent shoulder injury, could change the course of the season.
Next Opponent: vs Washington State
6. Washington State (3-1)
All things looked good for the Cougars as they led by as much as 32 points in the third quarter over UCLA. But WSU would allow a shocking 50 points to the Bruins in the second half and lose 67-63. Kind of hard to explain a loss like that.
Next Opponent: at Utah
7. Colorado (3-1)
The Buffaloes bounced back after their loss to Air Force with a big win at #24 Arizona State on Saturday. Mel Tucker is making this Buffs’ team tougher by the week.
8. Arizona State (3-1)
The Sun Devils suffered their first loss of the season at home against Colorado. This week the test gets even tougher for Herm Edwards’ squad.
Next Opponent: at California
9. Arizona (2-1)
The Wildcats were idle last week.
Next Opponent: vs UCLA
10. UCLA (1-3)
A 50-point second half propelled a 32-point comeback over Washington State late Saturday night. The Bruins still have a ton of work as they surrendered 63 points and nine touchdown passes.
11. Stanford (1-3)
The Cardinal lost, 21-6 at home against Oregon. Only 234 yards of total offense couldn’t help out a good outing from Stanford’s defense. The big question for the Cardinal – will they make a bowl game this season?
Next Opponent: at Oregon State
12. Oregon State (1-2)
The Beavers will idle last week.
Next Opponent: vs Stanford
