College Gameday will be on a Pac-10 campus for the second time this year. Kirk, Lee, and Chris will be in Tucson, Arizona to watch the Ducks take on the Wildcats in a game that will more than likely decide who represents the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl.

11Oregon @ Arizona: This is the game of the week in the conference. Whoever wins this game has total control of the Pac-10. Arizona will be looking to rebound following a loss to Cal last weekend. The Ducks are coming off a win over ASU, but will be looking to avenge their 2007 loss in Tucson where Dennis Dixon tore his ACL and Oregon’s National Championship Hopes were lost. Arizona is infamous for November upsets at home, but they will fall short of the upset this weekend. The Ducks offense is incredible and no one in the conference has slowed them down this year. I look for them to keep rolling and pick up a win against the Wildcats, putting them in position to clinch a Pac-10 title with a Civil War victory.

19 Oregon State @ Washington State: Washington State is still the laughing stock of division one football. The Beavers will win this one easily because everyone beats Washington State easily. The Cougars are in desperate need of a massive program overhaul and are probably looking forward to the offseason so that they do not continue to embarrass themselves every weekend. Oregon State will use this game as a tune up to get ready for the Ducks on December 3^rd.

ASU @ UCLA: The Sun Devils will look to end their four game losing streak and keep the Bruins for clinching bowl eligibility. Samson Szakacsy will possibly make his first career start at quarterback. The sophomore showed promise last week against Oregon and gives the Sun Devils the mobility at the quarterback position that they lack with Sullivan and Osweiler. This game could go either way, but the Bruins are at home and have the momentum of a two game winning streak after they swept the Washington schools the past two weeks. ASU is searching for answers at the quarterback position and the Bruins should get the win on Saturday.

25 Cal @ 17 Stanford: This year’s Big Game takes on a different twist as the Bears are not the favorites. Stanford is ranked higher than Cal and should come away with the win. Stanford has beaten two top ten teams over the past two weeks. With Andrew Luck and Toby Gerhart, the Cardinal have one of the most balanced offenses in the country. Cal is coming off an upset over Arizona, but Stanford is playing as well as anyone in the country and will be looking to get a win over their bitter rivals.

An era has ended. With Stanford's upset over the Trojans, it is now imminent that there will be a new Pac-10 champion. The Trojans have won the conference seven straight years and will need an absolute miracle to make it 8. This year the conference has shown how deep and truly talented it is. Just when you think everything is figured out, someone upsets someone else and shakes up the standings. It is good for the conference to have a new champion because it increases interest and makes it so that fans feel like their team can go to the Rose Bowl rather than just cheering for a Holliday Bowl berth.

Stanford @ 9 USC: The Stanford Cardinal upset the USC Trojans for the second time in three years, both time occurred on the Trojans home field. Stanford is a program that is continually on the rise and after back to back upsets, they have proven that they have finally arrived. Toby Gerhart ran for 178 yards and 3 touchdowns, all but assuring himself the award of Pac-10 player of the year. Andrew Luck had another solid performance throwing for 2 touchdowns. The other freshman quarterback, Matt Barkley, struggled as he threw 3 interceptions. The last interception was returned for a score and put the game on ice for the Cardinal.

Washington @ 23 Oregon State: After three quarters it was 41-7 Oregon State. The Beavers jumped off to a fast start and never looked back. Sean Canfield threw for 4 touchdown passes, two to James Rodgers. James' younger brother, Jacquizz rushed for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns. After dropping their fourth straight game, the Huskies are officially ineligible for a bowl game. Although slim, the Beavers still do have Rose Bowl hopes.

UCLA @ Washington State: The Bruins had a 26-0 lead and kept adding on en rout to a 43-7 thrashing of the Cougars. The showdown of the Pac-10's two worst teams was never even close. The Bruins jumped all over Washington State early and often. The win helps the Bruins improve to 5-5, meaning that they still have hopes of becoming bowl eligible, but even if they do finish 6-6 it appears unlikely that would be invited to a bowl game.

17 Arizona @ Cal: Even without Jahvid Best at running back, the Bears offense was able to survive. Shane Vereen rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown. Riley threw for a touchdown and Cal added 4 field goals to hold on for the 24-16 win. The Wildcats suffered only their second conference loss of the season and are hosting the Ducks next week in a showdown that will potentially decide the Pac-10 Champion.

Arizona State @ 13 Oregon: After suffering their first conference loss of the season last week, the Ducks were anxious to get back onto the field. With ASU starting a true freshman quarterback, the Ducks wanted to get off to a fast start and that's exactly what they did. LaMichael James rushed for 3 touchdowns and 109 yards in the first half to give the Ducks a 31-7 halftime lead. After Osweiler's injury, ASU put in third string quarterback Samson Szakacsy provided the Sun Devils with an offensive spark to start the second half. The Devils scored two quick touchdowns and brought the game to 31-21. The Ducks answered with a touchdown and tacked on two more field goals to win 44-21.

Week 11 presents some interesting match-ups and storylines. The Ducks will look to rebound after their first conference loss. The Sun Devils will possibly unveil a new quarterback. The Wildcats will look to keep their Rose Bowl hopes alive while the Bears see how they will fare without playmaker Jahvid Best. The final storyline will occur in the coliseum where Stanford looks to pull off an upset in its second straight visit to Los Angeles.

Stanford @ 9 USC: The Stanford Cardinal will look to upset the USC Trojans for the second time in three years. Andrew Luck and Toby Gerhart were both impressive in Stanford's upset of Oregon and USC was awful in its game against ASU. Despite this, the Trojans should win this game because they are at home. USC is the better team and Stanford will more than likely experience a letdown as most teams do after coming off such an emotional win.

Washington @ 23 Oregon State: What started off as such a promising year for the Huskies has quickly turned into something average and somewhat disappointing. Oregon State is in the middle of its annual late season surge and is coming off a big road win against Cal. Sean Canfield and Jacquizz Rodgers are leading a balanced offense that continues to impress. Despite Jake Locker's ability, the Huskies will be over matched this weekend and should fall to the Beavers.

UCLA @ Washington State: The Bruins finally broke their losing streak last week and will now travel to Pullman looking to start a winning streak. I'm still not sold on the Bruins because of their quarterback situation, but Washington State is horrible. The Bruins will win this game not because of their talent, but because of the lack of talent that Washington State has.

17 Arizona @ Cal: After Oregon's loss to Stanford, the Wildcats not control their own destiny. If they win out they will win the Pac-10 Conference. Had Jahvid Best not been out of this game I would have picked the Bears. But, after last week's concussion, this game looks like a win for the Wildcats. Cal did not look the same without Best in their lineup and Arizona will have one less player to prepare for. Best is a difference maker and without him the Bears offense will not be nearly as effective. Arizona should win this game, setting up a huge match up against the Ducks next week in Tucson.

Arizona State @ 13 Oregon: Brock Osweiler may make his first career start on Saturday in place of the struggling Danny Sullivan. Oregon is returning home after an upset loss and will be looking to get back in the win column. ASU's strength is the defense, but I doubt that they can slow down the Ducks offense because no one has been able to do that this year. The Sun Devil offense has not been effective at any point this year and there is no reason to believe that it will be effective on Saturday. I'm picking the Ducks to roll over the Sun Devils and continue on their journey to Pasadena.

Just when you thought the Pac-10 race was under control, Stanford shocked the conference by upsetting the number 8 Oregon Ducks. The Pac-10 entered the day with 4 teams ranked among the top 25. Two of the four were upset, USC won but was very sloppy throughout the game. After this week there are 6 conference teams that are bowl eligible (Oregon, Arizona, Stanford, Cal, USC, and Oregon State). Oregon and Arizona each control their own destiny and the showdown in Tucson, two weeks from now, will determine who goes to the Rose Bowl.

Washington State @ 18 Arizona: This is the only conference game this weekend that was not close. Coming into the game Washington State had lost 18 of its past 21 games and they made it 19 of 22 after their 48-7 loss to the Wildcats. This game was never even close as Arizona took a 31-0 lead just 17 minutes into the game. The Wildcats were able to hold the Cougars to 185 total yards. The Wildcats are the only Pac-10 team that has never been to a Rose Bowl and with a win at home against Oregon in two weeks, the Wildcats could go to their first Rose Bowl.

8 Oregon @ Stanford: The Oregon defense that had looked so dominating by only giving up a total of 58 points over its past 5 games, gave up an astounding 51 points to Toby Gerhart and the Stanford Cardinal. Andrew Luck threw for 250 yards and 2 touchdowns, but the real story of this game was the Ducks inability to stop the run. Gerhart rushed for 223 yards and 3 touchdowns. Stanford had 505 yards of offense in the win and became bowl eligible for the first time in 8 years.

Washington @ UCLA: Kevin Craft took over for injured Kevin Prince and snapped UCLA’s 5 game losing streak. UCLA turned the ball over 5 times, but were able to force the turnover when it mattered most. With Washington driving for the game-winning score, UCLA intercepted a Jake Locker pass in the final minutes to secure the 24-23 victory.

Oregon State @ 20 Cal: Another top 25 upset happened in Berkeley as the Beavers knocked off the Bears who were without Jahvid Best for the majority of the game. Best suffered a concussion and needed to be carted off the field in the first half. Oregon State won 31-14 for their fifth straight victory in Berkeley. Without Best, the Bears offense was not the same. Sean Canfield threw for 342 yards and 2 touchdowns. Best has movement in all extremities and will be ok. He was taken to the emergency room after the injury, but solely for precautionary reasons.

12 USC @ ASU: The Trojans played sloppy and should have lost this game, but they were able to somehow pull out a 14-9 victory Saturday night. The Sun Devil defense was the key to this game as it held the Trojans to 7 points (the other 7 points came off an interception returned for a touchdown). Both teams were unable to move the ball consistently, but a long touchdown pass from Barkley to open up the second half proved to be the difference.

There are 5 weeks to go in the college football season and the Pac-10 race is far from being over. The Oregon Ducks are the favorite as they are the only undefeated team in conference play. However, they still need to travel to Tucson, Arizona to face the Wildcats who only have one loss. The conference also features four teams with two losses who have small margins of hope. Then there is UCLA and Washington State who are both still seeking their first conference victory.

8 Oregon @ Stanford: After coming off an impressive 47-20 victory over the then number 5 USC Trojans, the Oregon Ducks are full of confidence and look to extend their 7 game win streak against Stanford. Both these teams like to run the ball, but they do so in incredibly different ways. Oregon uses the speed of LaMichael James to run on the outside, while Stanford uses Toby Gerhart to run between the tackles. The defense of Oregon has been excellent all year long and they will continue this trend on Saturday. Gerhart is the conference's leading rusher, but the Ducks will find a way to slow him down and pull out the victory.

Washington State @ 18 Arizona: The Wildcats have moved up to number 18 in the polls and should have an easy time this week against the winless Cougars. Washington State is coming off a loss to Notre Dame and will extend its losing streak to 6 on Saturday. Arizona will beat Washington State and begin looking ahead to their matchup with Cal next week.

Washington @ UCLA: Until UCLA gets production from the quarterback position, they will continue to struggle. Washington has Jake Locker, who is quite possibly the best quarterback in the conference, leading their team. The Huskies have struggle of late by losing their last two games, but I expect them to get back on track this week in the Rose Bowl. Jake Locker has the ability to will his team to victory and will find a way to get the job done on Saturday.

Oregon State @ 20 Cal: After coming off a last minute victory against the Sun Devils, the Bears will look to continue their winning ways this weekend as they return home. The Bears have a three game winning streak and will extend it to four against the Beavers. Oregon State's offense looked impressive against USC, but I have no confidence in a team that required all 60 minutes to beat an awful UCLA team at home. The Bears have one of the best offenses in the conference and will use all their weapons to beat the Beavers in Berkeley.

12 USC @ ASU: Both teams are coming off losses, but of very different sorts. The Sun Devils lost on a last minute field goal by the California Golden Bears, while the Trojans were embarrassed on national television by the Oregon Ducks. USC will be looking to restore its name and is expected to dominate the Sun Devils. Danny Sullivan is turnover prone and that is the one thing that the Sun Devils will not be able to afford on Saturday. The Sun Devils defense will try to keep the game close, but in the end there is no reason to believe that the Trojans will get their third conference loss.
