Pac-12 football standings: USC to Pac-12 title game, Oregon 1 win away from Vegas
USC stunned the country by knocking off UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night. Oregon finished out the weekend slate by defeating Utah in a tight game, and an Oregon-USC Pac-12 title game is looking more and more realistic.
Oregon State and Washington both won their games easily against inferior opponents, and we are just one more week away from the conference title game, which means bowl season is that much closer.
With the Pac-12 season reaching its end (and the college football season, for that matter), let’s examine the newest standings as we prepare for the final weekend of the regular season.
