Domination continues.

Oregon has Michigan scores but they also field strip the ferret.

Tier: Foot in the door

Bye week. I like Cam Ward

USC Football: Defense is made up and the points don't matter.

Tier: One Loss, Still Good
5 (+1)

Great win over Utah. Easily a top program this year, except for DJU not playing in an elevated fashion

6 (-1)

Utah's offense is anemic enough that I am (slightly) more concerned about their lopsided play than I am USC's anemic defense.

Tier: One Loss, Concerned

Bye week.

Tier: Middling
8 (+1)

CU is still better than expected.

9 (-1)

Fifita is pretty good! Unfortunately, I think UA has another year until they're playing at full speed, but the pieces are coming together.

BEHOLD, A WIN! ... this may be Cal's last win until they play Stanford.

Tier: Really Bad

I want Rashada back.

Stanford should try to rehire Jim Harbaugh. Or maybe clone Christian McCaffrey. Or Andrew Luck. Hell, 11 clones of either would field a better offense than what they have now.

Games this week should be generally pretty straightforward. CU @ ASU will be fun and interesting. Wazzu @ the Rose Bowl will be great (lack of UCLA fans notwithstanding). USC v Arizona will be a shootout, but should be a win. All eyes are on the weekend after this: Hate Week and the Jeweled Shillelagh.
