ArizonaĬomment: The USC Trojans get one last chance to try and salvage their 2021 season by ending the year with a win over the Cal Bears. I guess the upcoming bowl game will determine if the Bruins really could have competed with the Ducks or Utes at this point in the season.ġ. A big part of their season-ending surge has had to do with a light schedule to finish the year, though, so it’s tough to tell if they’ve really improved or are just taking advantage of lesser competition. ArizonaĬomment: If only UCLA could have been this hot in October – when they lost games to Arizona State, Oregon and Utah – then they could actually be in contention right now. I really think Arizona would beat Stanford today, so that's why the Cardinal is 12th despite having that win over Oregon, a result that seems completely implausible now.ġ.
StanfordĬomment: I'd like to see UCLA play Utah or Oregon right about now to see how that would come out. Time for the remaining schools in the conference to find their guy as well.ġ. The entire conference is now on notice with USC hiring Lincoln Riley, which already has the Trojans buzzing for next season. Can the Ducks fix their errors from round one on a neutral field? We'll find out.
Comment: We'll finally be getting the rematch of Oregon-Utah in the Pac-12 title game, as those are the two best schools in the conference.
