A month into the conference season, the Pac-12 division races are taking shape. Each division has front-runners and teams that already are all but out of contention.
A rundown of the races in the Pac-12's North and South divisions:
NORTH DIVISION
No. 7 Washington is not only the front-runner in the North, the Huskies (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) are still in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot. Washington's lone loss came in the opener, by five points to then-No. 9 Auburn. Since then, the Huskies have won five straight, including last week's 31-24 victory over UCLA.
