Pac-12 Power Rankings: Washington, Oregon move up after huge victories

Oregon and Washington pulled off wins over top-15 ranked opponents, while USC and Utah took care of business as well.

The Pacific Northwest is having an excellent end of the summer. The Oregon Ducks, Oregon State Beavers, Washington Huskies, and Washington State Cougars are a combined 11-1 on the young season so far, with Oregon’s loss to Georgia the only blemish.

Washington earned a huge victory over No. 11 Michigan State at Husky Stadium on Saturday afternoon, a few hours after Oregon dominated the No. 14 ranked BYU Cougars at Autzen.

Washington State defeated Wisconsin last week as well, while Oregon State has looked very good in all three of their games up to this point.

USC still remains the team to beat in the Pac-12 after a blowout win over Fresno State, and Utah is still very much in the mix, but the PNW is looking like the place to be to see some of the best college football in the nation this year.
