College Wires writers make their Week 5 Pac-12 selections

Week 5 shouldn’t contain many surprises, if any, but that’s when chaos usually happens. Our Pac-12 writers make their picks.

The Pac-12 football schedule was in full swing last week, but there weren’t any surprises. Arizona State hung with USC for as long as it could before the Trojans won, 42-28. Utah outlasted UCLA, 14-7. Perhaps the biggest so-called surprise, although no one in Pullman would say it was a shock, the Cougars defeated Oregon State by three.

Surprises shouldn’t be on the docket in the conference this week either. The only toss-up game will be in Berkeley as California hosts Arizona State. Two mediocre teams playing each other could make for an exciting and close game.

Oregon State hosts Utah on Friday, and everyone is going to want to see how Colorado rebounds after its first loss of the season.

The College Wires Pac-12 scribes enter their picks for Week 5 of conference action with some differing opinions for that Golden Bears-Sun Devils matchup.
