There have been several surprises in the Pac-12 so far this season, but there’s one thing (rather, two teams) that are exactly what we thought they’d be.
Oregon State and Colorado are the two least talented teams in the conference this year. The Beavers and Buffs own the No. 6 spots in the North and South, respectively, and the margin is generous.
The two teams will meet this weekend in Corvallis, Oregon. And assuming Colorado doesn’t upset UCLA, Stanford, USC, Wazzu or Utah, and Oregon State doesn’t take care of business against Utah, UCLA, Cal, Washington or Oregon, this will be the most important conference game for either team this year.
