1. Oregon - We find out a lot more Saturday. The fact their defense and run game looks better than UW's so far makes me give them a slight edge. They also appear healthy outside of a backup RB.
2. Washington - The injuries have me worried. McMillan and Odunze could play but still be banged up. Deboer has been great in circled on the calendar games so far which helps give me confidence.
3. USC - This team is super flawed and could be as low as like 8. Every team after this though has a loss though and Williams is gonna be hard for even Oregon and UW to beat. Sometimes teams can also be better but just play a lot of close games.
4. UCLA - Their defense is probably right there with Utah and a game changer. Their offense isn't super impressive but is good enough to beat anyone in the conference, especially if Moore keeps progressing.
5. Washington State - Cam Ward may have been exposed against UCLA. Feel like they'll win their home games and lose their road games against good teams.
6. Oregon State - Similar to WSU. DJU also could be pretty good against not very good teams.
7. Utah - They desperately need Rising back but who know how and when that happens. Feels like they could upset one of the top three teams though, especially if he is back.
8. Arizona - They might actually be pretty good. Fifita might be better or at least more reliable than the rapist. At the least they're a tough out for everyone in the conference.
9. Cal - Weird team. Very not Wilcox. The offense is way better than it has been recently but the defense is way worse.
10. Colorado - Their offense is good enough they can beat the worst teams in the conference and maybe give the better teams a game if they're having a good day and their opponent isn't.
11. Arizona State - Bad for them they don't play Stanford. Good chance they don't win again the rest of the way and get blown out a lot.
12. Stanford - Only question is if they are less bad than ASU.

    1. UW - Has the best single ability of any team in the conference.
    2. UO - The most balanced team in the conference.
    3. USC - USC
    4-6 whatever order OS/WSU/UCLA. I think OS would beat UCLA but they lost to WSU who lost to UCLA so fuck it.
    7. Utah
    8. Arizona - I'm glad they don't suck? again, but I wish they'd go back to their classic unis(yeah yeah yeah Oregon fan), the berry blast isn't my...jam.
    9. CAL - Too high
    10. Colorado
    11. ASU
    12. Furd

    Just wait until Rising comes back for the Oregon game with a bionic knee.

    Your obsession with teen boy injuries is up there with @trublue and his cadavers
    Rising makes that team 10 points better. Now you’re just being dismissive.

    I actually kinda doubt rising will be back in any meaningful sense. He didn’t just tear his ACL, multi ligament injury and meniscus only 10 months ago. Usually at least a year recovery and more to be at 100%.
