Pac12 Power Rankings after Week 2

[bellsduck]

1. Washington - No Change. So far the balance of offense and defense in the league.
2. USC (+4) - I know still weak competition, but the offense can't be denied.
3. Oregon St (+2)- Defense looked good until Butterfield came in, lol. DJU against SJSU looked better than he ever did at Clemson.
4. Colorado (-1) - TCU and Nebraska still not the strongest of competition, but they're looking impressive in a lot of ways. Dropped 1 because OSU defense has looked stellar.
5. Oregon (-3)- A win on the road in a game they should've lost for a lot of reasons. But is this the team Bo came back to win a Heisman and NC with?
6. WSU (+1) - Good win at home against a top 20 team. This team can present problems for other teams in a lot of ways. Looking forward to their matchup with OSU.
7. Utah (-3) - Look at the names they've beaten, Florida and Baylor and they should be higher, but until Rising is back, they're barely hanging on.
8. UCLA (+2) - A nice opponent to start a raw qb against, but he look anything but raw. Freshman qb's are not usually a recipe for success in the long-term.
9. Arizona (NC) - Nice showing on the road in SEC territory, but gotta win when you get that chance.
10. California (-2) - Got screwed twice in a game at home. That resulted in a 14 point swing. Still, gotta find a way to win that game.
11. Stanford (NC) - Should be Stanford and ASU for last place from what I see early.
12. Arizona St. (NC) - Outmanned in the trenches against Okie St. Hmmm. I wonder why they decided to forego a bowl game this year.

SC and OSU will obviously finish higher but get zero credit for blowing out patsies. UW has at least played one team with a pulse. Utah, Oregon, Wazzu, and CU have been through the fire and shown they have some substance. Can’t give Utah enough credit for getting through two tough road games with a 3rd string QB; Whit continues to defy reality.

1-3 stay the same. 9-12 stay the same. 4-8 is honestly a crapshoot at this point, but I do think Colorado is on the decline and Wazzu/OSU game will help solidify a direction for those two.
