Stanford rolled over UCLA to start the week of action in the Pac-12 Conference. Oregon visits Washington in one of the more anticipated games of the season for Oregon fans. With team now out of the National Championship picture and coming off a bad loss to Washington State at home, Oregon will need to respond as it appears their reign of Pac-12 dominance may be over.
