2019 Conference Comparison and Expected Wins
Arizona
Marcel Yates was a hot topic in Tucson this week after another disappointing performance. It's under the radar for the conference, but a matchup against another Power 5 program could be big for the Wildcats.
Arizona State
The offensive line has not been very good through two weeks and they get a massive test. How could the Sun Devils pull the upset?
Cal
The Bears are getting thin on the offensive line. A former 4 star TE is transferring out of the program.
Colorado
The rivalry against the Falcons should have been played years ago. Speaking of rivalry; Montez did not spare his words about the Huskers.
Oregon
The Ducks are getting thin at kicker; you don't worry about the backup kicker until you don't have one. The Ducks annihilated Nevada and have another walkover scheduled this week.
Oregon State
The Beavers had some inexplicable plays against Hawai'i. Coach Smith had an interview dealing with some tough subjects for an 0-2 team.
Stanford
Costello is back, but Little is out for the year. What to make of this Stanford team; especially the defense?
UCLA
Trying to find ways to be generous about how the Bruins look. For reasons I don't understand the Bruins claim to be relishing this upcoming matchup with Oklahoma.
USC
Lynn Swann resigning was the big news of the week. A USC WR enters the transfer portal.
Utah
he Utes have an FCS tuneup prior to their big matchup with USC. The Utes offensive line struggled to get push against NIU in critical situations.
Washington
The Huskies came to earth against Cal; especially on defense. The offense should bounce back substantially against Hawai'i.
Washington State
Wazzu fans are stressed about the defense. A Cougar great had a nice homecoming last weekend.
Football Thing:
Pass rush moves often seem a little subtle, but this a good selection of the best ones from the NFL.
Non-Football Things:
This is a good book.
This is a good song.
This is good to know. It's going to be apple season soon.
