    1. Oregon - They play really well. Outside of Texas Tech it really seems like they've played their best game every game unlike our friends in Seattle. They are really healthy. Nix getting better in his fifth full season of college football and doing it without having to straight up run as much. Schedule looks pretty friendly from here.
    2. Washington - Something is up with this team the past two weeks. Does it matter? No idea. I still think if they can get healthy (especially Penix), they're the best team in the conference, even with their questionable defense.
    3. Arizona - Really didn't see this coming. They're at worst just as good as anyone below Oregon and Washington and neither of those teams would be stoked to play them right now, especially in Tucson. UW's win over them in Tucson looks really good right now.
    4. Oregon State - Typical Jonathan Smith team now that runs the ball really well and plays solid defense. Will be hard for them to win big games though with their lack of explosion at skill positions.
    5. Utah - Their lack of athleticism and injuries have probably caught up with them. Gotta remember they got bullied by the Beavs a few weeks ago and got hyped up by barely beating a reeling USC team.
    6. USC - This team and program is at a crossroads. Feels like UW is the game where they either officially quit or they rise up and see if they can take out UW and Oregon in the next two weeks.
    7. UCLA - They're fine. They probably finish 8-4 and are a pretty shitty 8-4 team.
    8. Cal - All the teams are pretty much the same at this point. Feel like they at least won't quit under Wilcox.
    9. Colorado - PRIME candidate to quit down the stretch. They're only probably winnable game is in Pullman on a Friday night in mid-November. Boy that's going to be fun.
    10. Arizona State - They may have put things together during the bye week and will at least be trouble down the stretch, even though they have a nightmare schedule. Interesting to see how they do at Utah this week.
    11. Washington State - Weird weird weird meltdown from them. Good chance they finish as the worst team in the conference. Have to assume Cam Ward plays his last season somewhere else next year.
    12. Stanford - I think they're going to keep getting better.

    UW—should be 1

    Ucla—would put above usc and Utah.

    The rest makes sense

    Agreed. Oregon can prove it on the field, so go when head to head.

    I think the problem is me relapsing and getting on Twitter. There's some good Oregon fans on there with the same sentiment. What's worse is the trolly Pac-12 fans on there with no dog in fight trolling UW and the media cheerleader types and that wannabe Jim Rome Pate State hack who are trumpeting Oregon as not only better than UW but better than Georgia now practically.

    Those dudes are all boys with lanning. Pate especially. So just ignore the noise. It really doesn’t matter. If they meet in Vegas again, we’ll know for sure.

    If two teams play tomorrow, which one wins? That's a power ranking. I think it's probably a toss-up. UW should be ranked higher than Oregon in the ap/coaches/iDawg poles.

    So the regular season no longer matters?

    I would put Stanford and Arizona State over Wazzu and Colorado.

    I like Oregon’s roster more but UW is better where it matters most…QB, WR and OT.

    Two things that give me pause about UW vs Oregon: 1) I saw your defense improve game over game last year and it’s uneven this year. Something is off but I can’t put my finger on it. 2) Oregon can neutralize your advantage if they use Nix’s legs and they should not hold back in the CCG.

    Nix won't use his legs for a school he doesn't give a fuck about.
