The Pac-12 North had a perfect 6-0 week, significantly better than the South, 3-3 including USC's loss to Stanford. But the South had two notable non-conference wins. It's early, but tiers already are beginning to form particularly with the bottom three.
Jeff Metcalfe ranks all 12 teams in the conference after the second week of the season.
12. Oregon State (1-1)
Congrats to Jonathan Smith for his first win coaching at his alma mater, but 48-25 over FCS Southern Utah isn't enough to get out of our rankings cellar. But there were some building blocks, particularly RB Jermar Jefferson's 238 yards, third best in school rushing history.
