week 5 Review (what we learned)...

What Stanford at Washington taught us. Start off by giving kudos to wasington. In a game they trailed most of the way they somehow pulled out a gutsy win on a neutral field to upset 8th ranked Stanford. This showed us that the PAC-12 is going to be extreamloy competitive this year. With Stanford already beating USC (the seasons preseason best PAC-12 pick) but losing to Washington (who's lone loss has come to the nations 4th best team LSU) shows that on any given gameday any of these teams can beat each other. It should be a great season to watch with all these early fireworks in the conference.


What ASU at Cal taught us. ASU is serious about contending. After having one tough loss at Mizzo the Sundevils from kickoff dominated Cal in every which way. Cal although they are fighting hard and competiting they arent going to be in contention for the title as they already are in a huge hole. I like that they are competiting they just arent doing it for 60mins and their opponents realize this and take advantage. I think as the year goes on they get much better and may even get a couple upsets.

What Oregon State at Arizona. Oregon State is for real. They were put in adverse situation after adverse situation yet they responeded in every way vs a tough Wildcat team. The Wildcats are showing signs of moving in the right direction and i think they will get better but right now they are hurting themselves with turnovers. Especially one late interception by QB Matt Scott.

For UCLA and Oregon who got wins this weekend I explained why they would win in the Week 5 preview. Once agian I had only a 3-2 record but I vow to get better and to at least have one perfect weekend! So until next week!
