The SEC's national championship monopoly has led to a kind of arrogance. Despite the increasing likelihood that Alabama may capture a fourth national title in five years, the Pac-12 quietly has become the strongest conference top to bottom.
Let’s get to work!
Washington St -1.5 @ California
Capt. Mike Leach has already won a squeaker at USC and should win another by more than a field goal.
Oregon -35 @ Colorado
Hapless Colorado has a better chance smelling MJ in the stands than losing by less than 35 points. #GoBuffs
Arizona St -5.5 @ Notre Dame
Expect the Sundevils to blow the doors off a shanky Domer defense.
Washington @ Stanford -6.5
The Huskies' experienced quarterback Keith Price and workhorse running back Bishop Sankey are made for close road wins.
Since we only have four Pac-12 games on the docket this weekend, I also wanted to pick two games featuring teams that have a serious shot to dethrone the SEC in January.
Ohio St -7 @ Northwestern
Urban Meyer will accomplish his mission to embarrass all Ohio State opponents.
Maryland @ Florida St -15.5
Even with a bye week, Maryland won’t get within two TDs on their first true road test of the season.
