Big week for the conference. Despite Cal losing to Nevada, I think they still have a good shot at beating TCU. Utah and BYU will be interesting; Utah didn't look good in week 1, but they're much better than Arizona, who kept it close with BYU. I don't expect Colorado or uw to put up much of a fight, but you never know.

Man, I think Utah is probably the only chance at a victory on that list. A really good chance we go winless.

I've got the Pac going 10-6 in these games, but that's just 6-6 against Power 5 schools (ex-BYU and SJSU).
Ouch. I would have picked very similarly. With Cal losing to TCU, Stanford to KState, and Utah to BYU there isn’t a lot of margin of error for the Pac-12 to have some respectability. Ducks over tOSU, UCLA over LSU, and Colorado keeping it close with A&M is pretty much it for now. As much as I hate to root for other Pac-12 teams to win: Stanford/Vandy, Utah/SDSU, Fresno/UCLA, and Arizona State/BYU are looking more important than they should be. Colorado favored over Minnesota, which is a bit surprising.

Other than the Notre Dame games there aren’t many more chances for the conference to impress. It doesn’t matter too much for Oregon’s goals, but getting two NY6 games and long term perception does matter.
