One person's parity is another person's mediocrity. One's strength is another's weak. Never seen so many evenly matched teams in the Pac-12 in my lifetime.
Let's go from bottom to top this week, since the bottom has solidified itself and the same can't be said for the top:
12. Oregon State - Not bad for worst in conference, but they are going 0-9 nonetheless
11. Colorado - So close to getting over hump, but so far
10. Washington*** - Just can't overcome the lack of offense
9. ASU** - Too many big breakdowns in too many games
8. Cal* - That WSU win looking better!
7. Arizona* - Have beat a Top 10 teams four straight years, so that trumps beating WSU
6. UCLA* - What an enigma this team is
5. Utah* - Just not playing really well anymore
4. Washington State* - Cougs could arguably be 10-0; how the hell did they lose to Portland State?!!?
3. Oregon* - Different team with Adams healthy, and he wasn't in their losses to Utah and WSU
2. USC* - Dangerous, but very inconsistent
1. Stanford* - Few teams find way to game lose with 12/17 on 3rd down, 32 first downs, and 506 yards
* Bowl eligibile
** Gets bowl eligible with one win in next two games
*** Gets bowl eligible with two wins in next two games
