We’re down to the 3/4 mark of the college football season and the Pac-12 is rounding into form just as we thought it would with a couple of surprises along the way.
Oregon, Washington, and USC are the three teams vying for the two spots in the conference title game and after this week, that picture will become more clear. Washington goes to SC and if the Huskies win that, they can pretty much punch their ticket to Vegas. The Trojans and Ducks meet up the very next week and that winner is probably the Huskies’ opponent.
But teams such as Oregon State and UCLA can still have their say if things go their way. Arizona is a much better team than we all thought with the emergence of freshman quarterback Noah Fifita and despite its recent loss to the Ducks, the Utes can still have a big say on how things will go down in the last ever Pac-12 season as it is formed right now.
The big game this week is the Dawgs and Trojans battling it out in the Coliseum and some of the College Wire Pac-12 writers still think USC has a chance. But oddly enough, Matt Zemek, the editor of TrojansWire.com, gave a specific prediction for that game, not just the winner.
Here are the selections.
