New weekly feature on the Hotline, planned for Sunday mornings.
Please note:
1. The selections for players of the week will be the same as those I submit to the conference office Sunday night/Monday morning for the weekly awards voting.
2. There will be exceptions, but I give significant weight to the quality of competition and significance of the game when evaluating and comparing performances.
3. If you missed it, the Hotline recapped Week Two in our Saturday Night Five column (published in the wee hours), which focused on USC’s win and what it means for the conference, UCLA’s predicament, Stanford’s upcoming gauntlet, Cal’s non-offensive offense, Colorado’s comeback and more.
