Some weird things are happening in the Pac-12, where Oregon is fighting for a .500 record, Utah is the best team in the conference, and USC has no sense of direction.
The conference is starting to take shape, so it's only right if more weird things happen next week. Only California has a bye this week, which means we have a strong slate of games, beginning on Thursday with Stanford hosting UCLA.
This is where games really start to matter. A loss here in the conference can derail any hopes of a division championship, and that's the case for many teams this week.
