One issue... PAC12 has a tendency to have atop rated team drop a game they never should have in an upset. I have a feeling this is the week of an upset... I agree with all of your selections, so I have no idea which will be the upset... but feel there will be one that drops everyone's jaws
utah wsu seems like the best, if not only fit there (maybe usc). I agree, it happens regularly in the pac 12 but this week.... eh its tough to picture.
I like your picks, but I think that the Cougs might actually win this. Their defense matches up well with Utah...it's in Pullman and they are desperate.
WSU 27 USC 25
Arizona doesn't match up well with USC. The Trojans will give up some points but this will turn out like the Oregon game.
USC 45 Arizona 27
ASU and Colorado is a mystery because both teams are a mystery. My guess is that both struggle to score but Colorado is at home.
Colorado 16 ASU 13
UCLA is going to get a palette cleanser here.
UCLA 49 Stanford 27
I think Oregon is much more even keeled with this new coaching staff, I don't see a let down. Cal struggles to score and Oregon felt like it didn't play that well defensively against UCLA.
Solid picks today! But The ducks will score over 40.

Love the picks; however, it would be very Pac-12ish for WAZZU to take down Utah tonight and for CAL to slow down the Ducks and get the cover.
Good picks. Here’s mine.
WSU 34-24 over Utah
Oregon 48-24 over Cal
USC 38-34 over AZ
ASU 21-10 over Colo
UCLA 45-24 over Stanford
Utah 31 - Wazzu 20
Oregon 44 - Cal 21
USC 52 - Arizona 42
ASU 35 - CU 20
UCLA 37 - Tree 24

Oregon 45 Cal 16
I think Lanning, like Kelly before him, unlike the last 2 coaches we had, is the reason the Ducks don't take their web feet off the gas.
Cal will cover the spread but so far this season can't execute in the final minutes of games. Oregon 31- Cal 24.
UCLA is tough anytime and I don't expect anything different this time either.
Would like to see Ducks defensive scheming get some qb sacks in the next few games
Will be interesting to see Cal’s defensive strategy. Will they try to pressure Bo, or keep him contained inside the tackles?
Either way, I expect few explosion plays and a low scoring game.
"...home favorites are ridiculously good in the Pac-12."
Gee, do you think Pac-12 referees get caught up in the home crowd noise? Uh, second question: does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
There's noise at UCLA, CAL and Stanford home games? Who knew.
