Here’s an updated look at the Pac-12 power rankings after Week 12:
1. USC (10-2 overall, 8-1 Pac-12): The Trojans are good -- not great, but they’re still the best the Pac-12 has to offer this season.
2. Washington State (9-2, 6-2): For the second straight year, the Cougars have a chance to win the Pac-12 North in the Apple Cup.
3. Stanford (8-3, 7-2): There’s no sense playing running back Bryce Love against Notre Dame this Saturday. Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield is going to run away with the Heisman Trophy, and if Wazzu slips up in Seattle, the Cardinal will play the following Friday in the Pac-12 title game.
