The Pac-12 Conference is well represented this week with six teams finding a way into the poll. Utah entered the top ten followed by the Ducks at 16. Four other Pac-12 teams made the poll this week thanks in part to Arizona State’s last-second win over Michigan State. Last week California shocked Washington in Seattle and Washington State topped Houston on Friday.
Washington State is ranked 19th followed by a logjam of Pac-12 teams with Washington, California, and Arizona State coming in between 22 and 24 respectively. Having six ranked teams this early could be a big assist to both Oregon Football and Utah, but everyone has to keep winning moving forward, which may not be easy as conference play begins.
