I wanted to try to analyze who would finish second through fifth in the Pac-10, under a number of different scenarios. For example, if the Beavers lose to the Ducks, if Cal beats the Huskies, and if the UofA-USC game does not end in a tie, there will be four teams that finish with a 6-3 record in the Pac-10.
I think the best outcome for Cal would be for them to win (obviously),

Three games on the schedule here, and they all look to be good ones.
#13 Oregon State @ #7 Oregon (-10) 61 over/under - #13 vs #7 Who's the lucky one here. Is a black beaver crossing your path bad luck? Overall, I like Oregon's overall speed, balance and athleticism, but the Civil War is not just another game. This is a hard fought in-state r

Imagine how good Cal could have been if they had a good QB and had been able to resolve it's issues in the secondary before November.
Riley played a decent game against Stanford which allowed the win. He wasn't spectacular and owes a ton of credit to a defense that made Luck look like a different player than the freshman who dismantled Oregon and USC. I've been to eve

Go Bears! Nothing beats kicking Stanfurd's behinds, especially knowing how well they have been playing. Look at what an inspired offensive and defensive line can do for a team. Now lets see the Bears bring the show to the Greater Northwest and in the cold. Jake Locker's final college game should be an inspiring one for him, but hopefully so too will be Jahvid the Jet.

If Oregon wins then Oregon State will fall behind Cal's overall record because ORST lost to Cincy early on. Since the Bears will hopefully be 9-3 they would do better in the bowl selection then an 8-4 Oregon State team, right? I am unclear on this. Does the Pac-10 ranking for bowl selection take the overall or just in-conference?
If the Ducks lose, however, th

The biggest weakness on the Bears, once you get past the lousy kicking, is QB. Riley wasn't great last year. He looked ok this year against lesser talent, but has looked awful when playing teams with good defense. Against Oregon and USC, both teams challenged the Bears to throw. They decided to stack the box against Best. The strategy worked well for both teams.

Four games on the PAC-10 schedule this week. CAL has a late bye week, and the Oregon schools are resting and plotting for a big matchup the following Thursday. The PAC-10 now has 7 teams with 6 wins and at least 6 will go to bowls. UCLA would feel a lot better about their chances if they were to beat USC (see below)

There are four games on the slate, and three of them look to be pretty good games with bowl implications.
#11 Oregon (-6) @ (now unranked) Arizona - Two powerful offensive teams meet here in Tuscon with a berth in the Rose Bowl on the line. Both control their own destiny if they run the table, and this game is critical to both. Of course, Oregon still ha

Let me just start out by clarifying that "Week 11" has nothing to do with the Big 10, but only refers to this particular week in college picks.
Once again, and for the last time this year, all the PAC-10 teams are in action against each other:
Oregon 5-1 7-

Looks like this game is over. If Stanford was playing anyone else, I would turn off the T.V. , but Its a great day when Stanford can beat up Cal in any sport really!

24-14 Cal! Looks like Cal came to play in the 2nd half. This game is nowhere near over though, anything can happen, as I said before. Maybe not the blowout I wanted, but a close game. Hopefully Cal doesnt pull away. Yet another great game playing for the axe! Still expecting an offensive shootout. Wait for Stanford to light it up in the fourth like they did against USC.

Is this kid solid or what?
Anyone seen him live action?
Greatly appreciated.
