Week 12 Preview...

WASH @ COLO- Washington has got to be feeling good. Ranked again and bowl eligible heading into one win Colorado. Seems like an easy week for them. No trap game here, Washington rolls Colorado 42-17.

WSU @ ASU- Washington State has only 2 wins and the pending investigation of Mike Leech is not helping the cause. For whatever reason this team isn't responding to him or losing. I think they showed fight by coming back in the second half vs UTAH last week but ASU is trying to become bowl eligible and has the chance to do it at home. I see ASU winning a close one 34-28.

Game of the week! *USC @ UCLA- This is the first time in quite some time that this game and rivalry will be relevent. USC is now post season eligible for the first time in 3 years. UCLA has a new coach, new QB and is exciting offensively. USC has tons of pro talent all over the field but they have left plays on the field and going into a hostile Bruin stadium will really test them. UCLA football can truely prove they are back with a win here. Also they will become one step closer to a second straight pac-12 title game showdown with potentially a rematch vs Oregon. It starts here though. USC has already had 3 dissapointing losses that at the begining of the year when they were number 1 in the nation seemed easy. But 2 losses came on the road to great offenses. 2 losses also came vs a speard offense which UCLA runs. I think UCLA will win vs. their rival USC in a shootout 45-42. The first installment of the rivalry coming back to relevance.

Stanford @ Oregon- Stanford couldn't beat Oregon with Andrew Luck at home. No chance they come on the road and beat a stronger Oregon team with freshmen Kevin Hogan and QB. Hogan showed mobility and toughness as he led his team to a upset last week but he will find out just how intimidating Autzen stadium is. Oregon has just always had better atheletes than Stanford and this is still the case. Oregon dominates 52-21.

CAL @ Oregon State- I like what I saw from CAL last week. They hung in with Oregon who they seem to give trouble. With a backup QB with little experience. I think Oregon State should be worried as they have been reeling after losing last week. I think they pull out one closer than expected. Oregon State 27-20.

ARI @ UTAH- Arizona will win. They will run the ball and run it well all over UTAH which has been playing great defense, but the way u of a is running they will be tough to stop. Arizona 42-31.
