1. Oregon 2. USC 3. UCLA 4. Utah 5. Washington 6. Oregon State 7. Washington State 8. Arizona State 9. Stanford 10. Cal 11. Arizona 12. Colorado.
Remark: I am hoping Oregon, USC and Utah all end with one convention loss and now we have to go right down to the convention’s third or fourth tie-breaking rule to find out which two groups play within the Pac-12 championship sport. Controversy will reign. However controversy brings publicity, similar to unhealthy officiating brings publicity. We’re simply ready round for Nov. 19 when a number of issues might be settled. Kind of.
MAX TORRES, DUCKS DIGEST
1. Oregon; 2. USC; 3. UCLA; 4. Utah; 5. Oregon State; 6. Washington; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Arizona State; 10. Cal; 11. Stanford; 12. Colorado

Remark: Oregon earned what could also be an underwhelming win over Cal, however a win is a win. Now they will look to dominate Colorado earlier than internet hosting a key sport towards Washington. USC received a scare from Arizona that possibly makes them look extra susceptible than folks thought after additionally narrowly escaping Oregon State earlier this 12 months. Utah’s outlook appears to be like just a little murky with Cam Rising banged up however the high groups largely stay the identical.

KEVIN BORBA, ALL CARDINAL
1. Oregon; 2. UCLA; 3. USC; 4. Utah; 5. Oregon State; 6. Washington; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Stanford; 10. Cal; 11. Arizona State; 12. Colorado
Remark: Stanford seemed horrible towards UCLA, as accidents and lack of depth is basically starting to point out on offense. The offense is without doubt one of the worst items within the nation, and the play calling does them no favors. Washington State is one in every of their final winnable video games. Oregon is clearly the very best staff, and Oregon State or Washington might be eradicated in what needs to be an important sport.
SAM CONNON, ALL BRUINS
1. Oregon; 2. UCLA; 3. Utah; 4. USC; 5. Oregon State; 6. Washington; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Stanford; 10. Cal; 11. Arizona State; 12. Colorado
Feedback: The tiers within the Pac-12 are extra outlined and stratified than ever. The highest 4 groups have not misplaced to anybody outdoors of that group, and it would not look like any will quickly, both. The matchup between Washington and Oregon State might resolve which darkish horse is able to make a late push this 12 months, however Oregon, USC, Utah and UCLA are nonetheless the clear favorites transferring ahead.
WYATT ALLSUP, ALL TROJANS
1. Oregon; 2. UCLA; 3. USC; 4. Utah; 5. Oregon State; 6. Washington; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Stanford; 10. Arizona State; 11. Cal; 12. Colorado.
Remark: Nothing occurred within the Pac-12 this week to maneuver the needle for any staff. USC’s Caleb Williams threw for over 400 yards and 5 touchdowns with out his high two receivers, once more proving the depth and functionality of the offense. Arizona performed extraordinarily nicely towards the Trojans behind an important effort from its receiving group. I wished to maneuver the Wildcats up, however they only aren’t higher throughout the board than any of the groups above them.
COLE BAGLEY, ALL UTES
1. Oregon; 2. UCLA; 3. Utah; 4. USC; 5. Oregon State; 6. Washington; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Arizona State; 10. Cal; 11. Stanford; 12. Colorado
Remark: Whereas the highest 4 groups are nonetheless the one squads with a shot at competing for a Pac-12 Championship, the Utes and Trojans have been considerably tormented by accidents and barely escaped this previous weekend with victories. November 19 stays probably the most decisive weekend of the season as Utah will head to Eugene and the battle of LA will begin. Till then, the highest 4 will do their finest to maintain profitable and stay as wholesome as doable.
DAN RALEY, INSIDE THE HUSKIES
1. Oregon; 2. UCLA; 3. USC; 4. Utah; 5. Washington; 6. Oregon State; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Stanford; 10. Cal; 11. Arizona State; 12. Colorado
Remark: I’ll strive one thing completely different this week. I’ll put the Geese No. 1. I nonetheless assume you need to pay for a 46-point loss into perpetuity. I give. This is likely to be the least attention-grabbing week for the Pac-12 schedule this season, with almost each sport closely leaning in a single course. Go away it to the Beavers and Huskies to depart us in suspense.

No. 1 Oregon will face No. 8 Ohio State in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
With the rematch officially set, we’re taking a look back at the path the Ducks (13-0) took to reach the CFP as the top seed.
The season began with a clunky 24-14 win over Idaho. The right side of the offensive line was responsible for multiple penalties and three sacks to an FCS opponent that made for an unnecessarily difficult opener, even as Dillon Gabriel threw for 380 yards with two touchdowns to Tez Johnson.
Special teams rescued the Ducks in a 37-34 comeback over Boise State. Ashton Jeanty had 192 yards and three touchdowns to legitimize his Heisman candidacy. An 85-yard punt return touchdown by Johnson and a 100-yard kickoff return by Noah Whittington and recovery in the end zone by Jayden Limar erased a fourth quarter deficit. The offensive line made constant changes while allowing four sacks and committing five penalties in the unit’s most disjointed performance in years.
The early issues up front were gone as Iapani Laloulu took over at center in a 49-14 plastering of Oregon State. Gabriel threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as the offense gained 546 yards with 10 plays of 20-plus. The defense shutdown the Beavers ground game in the second half and UO secured its first win in Corvallis since 2018.
Following its first bye week of the season, Oregon officially opened Big Ten play at UCLA with a 34-13 rout at the Rose Bowl. A 28-3 lead was more than enough for the Ducks to coast and they held the Bruins to just 47 rushing yards.
Jordan James and Jordan Burch took center stage in a 31-10 Friday night drubbing of Michigan State at Autzen Stadium. James had 166 yards and a touchdown and Burch had 2.5 sacks and recovered a fumble. Two red zone interceptions by Gabriel made things briefly more competitive but the Ducks pulled away to setup a clash of undefeated titans.
The Oct. 12 game with Ohio State lived up to the billing as the top game of the season. There were seven lead changes in the 32-31 Ducks win over the Buckeyes, who were driving in the closing seconds and Will Howard slid at the UO 26 with time expiring. A deliberate 12 men on the field penalty by Oregon led to an in-season rules interpretation by the NCAA and provided further evidence of Dan Lanning’s preparation relative to Ryan Day. Even without Burch, who suffered a knee injury two days before the game, the Ducks were able to generate some pressure on Howard.
A Friday night trip to West Lafayette, Ind. will be remembered as Oregon’s first shutout since 2012. Purdue was hapless, throwing for less than 100 yards. Even with Traeshon Holden suspended and Terrance Ferguson out following an appendectomy, the Ducks were vastly better in every facet.
A 38-9 blowout of Illinois was filled with physicality in all phases. The defense had seven tackles for loss with three sacks, two interceptions and eight pass breakups to help build a 35-3 halftime lead.
Ferguson and Burch returned in a 38-17 beat down of Michigan at the Big House. The Ducks also suffered injuries to Johnson and Marcus Harper II but still managed to gain 470 yards and did not allow a sack against one of the best defensive lines in college football.
Gabriel broke the NCAA career touchdown record in a 39-18 win over Maryland. A season-high 12 penalties, particularly a couple of pass interference calls in the end zone, made the game more competitive than it truly was and Burch sprained his ankle.
Another fourth quarter comeback was required to escape Wisconsin with a 16-13 win. Gabriel found Ferguson on fourth and nine to open the fourth quarter and the defense closed it out with back-to-back three-and-outs, a fourth down stop and interception by Matayo Uiagalelei to cap an eighth straight conference win in as many weeks.
The second bye week allowed for Johnson to return for a 49-21 rout of Washington to cap a 12-0 regular season with Dan Lanning’s first win in the rivalry. Burch had 2.5 of Oregon’s 10 sacks and Uiagalelei had two. The Huskies ran for just 43 yards and could not stretch the field vertically.
A battle of top 10 defenses instead was a shootout in the Big Ten championship game, which Oregon won over Penn State 45-37 at Lucas Oil Stadium. Gabriel threw four touchdowns, with three going to tight ends, and the defense had two interceptions to help secure the conference title, No. 1 seed in the CFP and Rose Bowl berth.
