Ranking the Pac, week eight
Posted by Bob Condotta
In case you haven't looked at the standings lately --- and there's good reason you may not have --- it actually looks like an exciting race to the finish with USC, Oregon, Arizona and Oregon State all tied at the top with 3-1 records.
At the moment, the only two of those teams that control their own destiny are, believe it or not, Arizona and Oregon State. Still not thinking either of those teams ends up in Pasadena, however.
On to the rankings:
1, USC --- Outscoring opponents 41.5-7.8.
2, Oregon --- Next two --- at ASU and at Cal --- will likely tell the tale of this being either a good or a great season for the Ducks.
3, Oregon State --- Seemed like barely had to try to beat the Huskies easily. Now have a bye week to prepare for the November push to Pasadena. And look at OSU's schedule --- home to ASU, at UCLA, home to Cal, at Arizona and home to Oregon. No reason it can't be done.
4, Arizona --- Stoops may conquer Tucson after all, especially if he can beat USC this week. Even if that doesn't happen, UA looks headed to a bowl with a game at WSU and a home game against ASU still on tap.
5, Cal --- None of this, however, should make anyone question Jeff Tedford's coaching ability. Just more proof of how hard it is to really do it consistently at Cal.
6, UCLA --- Still no running game, but Neuheisel has always been good at figuring out a way around that.
7, Stanford --- Was probably due to lose a tight one after winning a lot of those the last two years. May have to win at Cal to get to a bowl.
8, Arizona State --- Has to hope there was massive improvement during the bye week with Oregon coming to town.
9, Washington --- Longest-running death watch since Francisco Franco.
10, Washington State --- Officially taking a bye this week after unofficially doing so the rest of the season.
