We have two weeks left in the PAC-12 regular season and neither the North or South division has been claimed and the trip to Santa Clara which comes with. Last weekend the conference cannibalization continued with Oregon and Arizona taking aim at top contenders for the College Football Playoffs. The Conference will likely not have a player in the competition for the Playoff, but that does not mean there isn’t still plenty to play for.
Stanford still can clinch the Pac-12 North with a victory in the ‘Big Game’ this weekend, while the South is still tricky with Utah, UCLA and USC all in the mix. Don’t overlook the Oregon Ducks who still needs another Cardinal loss plus winning out but still a lot in play before we get to Levi Stadium.
Here’s what is on tap this week in the conference of champions with all 12 teams in action and looking to stand out.
