Pac-12 Power Rankings: Week 2

1. USC (2-0) The No. 2 Trojans didn’t exactly light up the world against Syracuse in a 42-29 win on Saturday, but even a relatively subpar performance included six touchdown passes from Matt Barkley and 20 combined catches between Robert Woods and Marquise Lee.

No. 1: California (20-6, 10-3) The Bears picked the right time to complete their first road sweep of the Pac-12 season. They had fallen from their first-place perch after falling to Arizona at home. Given the state of the Pac-12, winning the conference is Cal’s best chance at making the Read More…

Pac-12 Power Rankings: Week 6

No. 1: Stanford (20-1, 11-0) Stanford had no problems in sweeping the Arizona schools last weekend, continuing its perfection.
