A few things ...
-- Colorado and Washington State meet in a battle of the Pac-12's division leaders Saturday in Boulder.
Not many predicted before the season this would be the week's marquee game. Certainly, I didn't.
I'm still suspicious of the Cougars, who to this point have avoided the other top teams in the league. That isn't their fault. But that their resume thus far is missing games against Utah, USC and Washington is an unavoidable fact.
If they can go into Boulder and beat Colorado, I'll begin to take them more seriously.
Colorado is the year's biggest surprise.
