The Pac-12 championship race is heating up because the halfway level of the season approaches. Oregon, Washington and USC stay unbeaten after Week 6, and a few of the finest video games are forward with the Geese and Huskies squaring off in Week 7.
Regardless of a 6-0 begin, the Trojans have seemed susceptible in convention play and had been on upset alert final weekend towards Arizona earlier than reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams bailed out his crew to maintain the right season alive. 5 of USC’s closing six video games are towards groups at present ranked within the AP Prime 25.
Washington, the convention’s highest-ranked crew at No. 7 within the AP Prime 25, has seemed like among the finest models within the nation. Star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. leads the Pac-12’s finest offense, and the Huskies protection ranks No. 4 amongst Pac-12 groups in factors per recreation allowed.
Colorado began the season 3-0 underneath first-year coach Deion Sanders earlier than shedding consecutive convention video games to Oregon and USC. The Buffaloes have already exceeded expectations in “Coach Prime’s” first season, and reaching bowl eligibility can be a large win for a program that has posted one successful season within the final 18 years.
As we close to the midway level of the season, let’s hand out grades to every Pac-12 crew.
