Welcome to the Week 12 power rankings. If you don’t like where you’re ranked, play better. You can see last week's rankings here.
1. Stanford Cardinal: They finished their Pac-12 slate with just one conference loss, they locked up the North Division and they are headed to the league title game for the third time in four years.
2. Oregon Ducks: The only Pac-12 team to beat the Cardinal, the Ducks are one of the hottest teams in the country right now. That doesn't do much for the national landscape, but they are going to make some bowl team unhappy (and probably Oregon State, too).
