Heading into last Saturday, Stanford and Washington faced crucial non-conference tests with the Cardinal traveling to South Bend to face eighth-ranked Notre Dame and the Huskies hosting 20th-ranked BYU.
The Cardinal got walloped against the Fighting Irish losing 38-17 while the Huskies made a statement winning 35-7 making its case they are still the class of the Pac-12.
In conference games, Oregon bounced back in a big way winning in Berkeley against 24th-ranked Cal. Washington State defeated Utah at home putting the Utes behind the eight ball in the Pac-12 South.
Rounding out the slate was Arizona State dismantling Oregon State 52-24 behind Eno Benjamin‘s record-setting night and USC holding off a late Arizona comeback.
