Pac-12 football game predictions: Week 3

The two most interesting games on the #Pac12 slate this week: Washington at @TheSpartansWire and Fresno State at ASU.

The first two weeks of the college football season have gone well for the Pac-12 Conference, and more than half the teams in the league have earned spots in the latest top 25 rankings.

The panelists are back for another week of picks: Matt Zemek, Matt Wadleigh and Donovan James of Trojans Wire, Jack Carlough and Tony Cosolo of Buffaloes Wire, and Don Smalley, Myles Dwyer and Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire.

With everybody looking forward to Week 4 and Week 5, this week should be pretty chalk with not very many exciting games on the schedule. Follow Spartans Wire for coverage of its game against Washington, one of the few high-profile Pac-12 games this week.

Here are the picks from the panelists, and the USC Trojans have the week off.

Pac-12 football game predictions: Week 2

Oregon-Texas Tech. Colorado-Nebraska. Utah-Baylor. Cal-Auburn. USC-Stanford. We pick these and other #Pac12 games in Week 2.

Every single Pac-12 program won this past weekend, and with USC’s Week Zero win, the Pac-12 has begun 13-0 in what appears to be the final season of the conference.

Colorado’s stunning upset over TCU was the biggest of them all, and Cal thumping North Texas was somewhat surprising given the Golden Bears’ status as a downtrodden program with low morale.

In Week 2, there are some notable matchups, including the first Pac-12 showdown with Stanford coming to USC, the scene where Clay Helton was fired in 2021 following an ugly loss.

The panelists are back for another week of picks: Matt Zemek, Matt Wadleigh and Donovan James of Trojans Wire, Jack Carlough and Tony Cosolo of Buffaloes Wire, and Don Smalley and Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire.

Here are the picks for Week 2, and there is a common theme: The Pac-12 gets the win in another set of nonconference matchups.

Pac-12 football College Wire predictions for Rivalry Week

.@Ducks_Wire wants to battle Trojans Wire in the #Pac12 title game, but Oregon will likely need to beat Oregon State. Who wins?

The week we have all been waiting for is here: The final full week of the college football regular season. Conference Championship Saturday is a reduced-activity day with a few select games. This weekend (Nov. 26) gives us the last Saturday with a full slate: 47 games, to be precise, and that doesn’t count a bunch of Friday games.

The highly-anticipated matchups of USC-Notre Dame and Oregon State-Oregon have a ton at stake on Saturday. The Trojans are already locked into the Pac-12 title game, and one of Washington, Utah, or Oregon will be their opponent in Las Vegas.

The Pac-12 College Wires team is back with more predictions, and here are the results from last week and the entire season:

  • Jack Carlough 4-2, 68-15
  • Tony Cosolo 4-2, 65-18
  • Matt Zemek 4-2, 65-18
  • Don Smalley 3-3, 64-19
  • Zac Neel 4-2, 64-19
  • Andy Patton 6-0, 64-19
  • Patrick Conn 4-2, 63-20
  • Matt Wadleigh 6-0, 63-20
  • Don James 4-2, 61-22

This is rivalry week, including the Apple Cup between Washington and Washington State. UCLA should have no problem with Cal, and Colorado against Utah won’t be very fun to watch for Buffs fans.

Here are the predictions for the final week of the regular season.
