Conference play is upon us and it is good.
Of course, not everybody is ready to begin conference play quite yet. Only those conferences that play a nine game in-conference schedule have a pressing urgency to get such play under way in week 4. That leaves the Pac 12 to take center stage. ESPN's College Gameday program is in Tucson today to highlight the games in the PAC including the UCLA @ Arizona matchup.
We highlighted the PAC slate in our picks and odds piece earlier this week. Beyond the compelling games in the West, there are certainly some other games of national interest that I'll be keeping my eye on today.
