Michael Penix Jr. and the undefeated Huskies enter as three-point…

Despite the Pac-12 looking like it will be a thing of the past sooner than later, the conference is going out on a high note.

The Fan Nation and Sports Illustrated publishers of the Pac-12 have come together to unveil their takes on the conference's hierarchy heading into championship weekend.

We address four issues in today's Pac-12 notebook. We are stating at the start that we believe USC will be one of the four teams in the College Football Playoff if it beats Notre Dame on Saturday (no sure thing) and wins the Pac-12 championship game (no sure thing). That would be an impressive double, because the Irish are up to No. 15 this week…

The College Football Playoff dream died with the stumble against Arizona. Returning to the Rose Bowl game for the first time since 1999 was out after the heartbreaker against USC. Back-to-back losses have left UCLA to ponder something a lot less fun than a path to the Pac-12 championship game. Now it's all about which mid-tier bowl game the…

Instant reaction to Pac-12 on-field developments … 1. Then there was one Week after week, the Pac-12 favorites won handily and kept chaos at bay: USC, UCLA, Oregon and Utah built a 22-3 combined record in league play, with the only losses coming to each other. They were 19-0 against everyone else. But on the second Saturday of November, upsets…

UCLA is 7-2 ATS in its last nine road games. Arizona State is 5-2 ATS in its last seven home games. The total has gone over in eight of the last 12 games in the series. UCLA recovered from its 45-30 humbling at Oregon two weeks ago with a decisive 37-13 victory over Stanford last week, but that was not enough to convince the CFP selection…

The games that will determine which two teams advance to the Pac-12 championship game are two weeks off. This week and next are just warm-up acts. Some decent games, sure. But while Cal and Stanford are tussling in the Big Game, the main events will be contested on Saturday, Nov. 19 when Utah visits Oregon and UCLA plays host to USC. These four…

We address three Pac-12 football questions this week: It's kind of eerie what going on in Los Angeles with UCLA and USC with regard to the parallels with 1988. Both teams have started this season 6-0, just as they did in 1988. Both teams have a Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback leading the way, as they did in 1988. One team's quarterback is a…

It's not unusual for a student to spend five years on a college campus. It is rare for a quarterback to start all five of his years, which is the case for Dorian Thompson-Robinson during his extended stay at UCLA. Thompson-Robinson, from Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas, and coach Chip Kelly essentially walked in the door together in Westwood in…

The No. 18 Bruins (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) are off to their best start since 2013 after beating then-No. 15 Washington 40-32 to close out September. UCLA has been efficient and potent on offense in running up an eight-game winning streak…

Cal gets the week off before trekking to Colorado, but the Pac-12 schedule has some intriguing matchups on Saturday. The road team is the favorite in four of five games, the exception being Washington State traveling as an 11-point underdog to face USC at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Even so, this game could be entertaining because of the matchup of…

The Pac-12 was written out of the College Football Playoff discussion before the conversation even began. But the Pac-12 could leave Week 6 with three playoff contenders, and one of them has an opportunity to flex its might in front of a national audience. The Utah Utes were taken out of the postseason discussion after their Week 1 defeat on the…

Two Pacific Northwest teams head to the desert this week as double-digit favorites. Both of them are ranked. Both of their opponents are unranked. Which one should feel more secure?

Believe it or not, the race for the Pac-12 football championship may not only consist of Utah, USC and Oregon in 2022.
