5. Washington (4-2)
The Huskies were stunned in Palo Alto, falling to Stanford, 23-13. Washington was out-gained 482-294 yards. The Cardinal dominated the Huskies despite being short handed. UW still has the talent to finish strong but they have serious question marks.
Next Opponent: at Arizona
6. USC (3-2)
The Trojans were Idle.
Next Opponent: at Notre Dame
7. California (4-2)
The Golden Bears played the Ducks tough despite being without starting QB Chase Garbers. California actually took a 7-0 lead into halftime but were outscored 17-0 in second half. The offense will have to improve if Cal wants any chance at sniffing a north division title.
Next Opponent: Idle

Next Opponent: at Oregon
9. Stanford (3-3)
The Cardinal shocked No. 15 Washington, 23-13. It was probably the most shocking result in conference play thus far considering Stanford’s lack of success this season.

10. Washington State (3-2)
The Cougars were Idle.
Next Opponent: at Arizona State
11. Oregon State (2-3)

Next Opponent: vs Utah
12. UCLA (1-5)
Outside of a 32-point comeback at Washington State, UCLA has been nothing but bad this year. A 17-point loss at home to Oregon State is unacceptable.
Next Opponent: Idle
