Cook it...
ASU, UW, ND is 2nd
UW may be catching them at a ideal time. Peterson will have essentially a bye week and will be sandwhiched between a ranked Conf opponent and their rival. Plus you know UW will be fired up for that game.
Also looking at the matchup, UWs weakness (OL) will be going against SCs weakness (Front7). Could be a good matchup for UW. If they get improved QB play I think that's a game they very well could steal.

Sark is going all in against UW. Thursday night game...ESPN...against his former team. These are the sort of game he lives for. Then like Damone's script says...he will tank it the next week and the slide begins.
That being said, those thinking that SC is a runaway winner for the conference are FS given the losses that they have on the Front 7 as well as replacing most of their WR and RB production for this year.
My guess is that Seven will lose at least 2 games out of this bunch: Stanford, @ASU, @Notre Dame, @Oregon, UCLA.
UCLA is the one team that nobody is talking about because of Hundley leaving. But if they can find a way to get a graduate QB transfer in the fold (i.e. Braxton Miller), they have 18 returning starters. Even if they have to turn everything over to Slick's kid or even a true frosh, there will be a lot of support surrounding an average starter at QB. By the time UCLA plays USC, whoever it is playing QB for UCLA will have plenty of experience.
They return 18 starters, miss Ore/UW, and have their weakest non-Conf schedule in years. So how quickly Rosen acclimates will be the difference between a Sun Bowl type year or a Rose Bowl type year
I'm optimistic, but admittedly the history on true Frosh succeeding is thin at best.
One of the things a lot of people are missing in crowning SC is that they get Washington and Oregon on their schedule this year while UCLA gets the Cougs and Beavers. While I don't expect Washington to win the game at SC, it's certainly a more difficult game for SC in comparison.
SC probably goes 1-1 against the NW schools while UCLA should cruise rather easily to 2-0 against the same part of the schedule. The remaining 7 games are against common opponents.
Personally, I'd back UCLA to finish higher in the South next year than USC.
Your eyes are as good as mine.
69% completion rate, 22 td's to 5 ints, 8 yards per attempt, and that's before you add in his running ability. His adjusted QBR is 78.6 which is very good.
If Rosen turns into that, UCLA should be just fine.
Hundley brains >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lockner brains
If your defense played at a higher level, you might survive having a freshman QB. I don't think Mora and Ulbrich are capable of making that happen.
