Thoughts on various…
The leading North team, Oregon, plays the leading South team, SC, in the Coliseum. Given how WSU worked Oregon and how well SC is playing at the moment, this contest will be one to watch. I want the Ducks to win. But it would not surprise me if they lost. The Ducks have the longest win streak in the conference at 7. SC is still a bit of an enigma to me, semi organized great talent.
Washington is fourth in the North and another loss puts them in the cellar with WSU and Cal. They are better than that. So I expect a fierce battle in this one. Utah must play an error, mistake, penalty free and assignment sound game. I think they can do it. Utah has the second longest winning streak at 4 games.
Both contests have huge implications for Oregon and Utah, to state the obvious.
UCLA is an interesting case. Left as roadkill earlier, the Bruins are now in third place in the South with a 3-2 conference record. Both Arizona programs are 2-3. The UCLA-SC contest will be another good game, potentially.
