Seven weeks into a college football season is hardly enough time to make definitive calls. Safe to say, though, Stanford and Utah are clearly on the path to a Pac-12 championship game showdown the first week of December.
That is, unless Utah falters against UCLA or USC or Stanford gets tripped up by Cal or ... well, you get the point.
Yes, the Cardinal and Utes remain undefeated in conference play and lead their divisions.
Both are entrenched in the national rankings, with Utah rising to No. 3 and Stanford cracking the top 10 after reeling off four consecutive wins, including Thursday’s 56-35 drilling of UCLA.
