Welcome to the fifth week of football in The Conference of Champions — or at least the conference of name-brand neurotics.
It was a rather triumphant week for teams from the conference Larry Scott built (or destroyed, depending on your worldview), with Pac-12 teams going 8-4, including an intra-conference loss by Oregon State to Washington State.
The conference hasn’t seen a lot of marquis victories so far, with the most notable wins coming against the likes of Colorado State (CU), UNC and Ole Miss (Cal), Boise State (Wazzu), BYU (Utah) and, of course, Texas (USC).
