PAC-12 Football Power Rankings – Week Ending 11/1
Pacific Northwest Sports puts out our Pac-12 power football rankings every week during the college football season. Here’s how the teams stack up as of November 1.
The top dogs took out the smaller ones in the Pac-12 last week. Pacific Northwest Sports continues our 2022 PAC-12 football power rankings, which run through the last bowl game.
The conference now has five teams in the Top 25 (and another received votes), led by 8th-ranked Oregon. Here are our Power Rankings for the week ending November 1, with a Pacific Northwest twist.
12. Colorado Buffaloes (1-7 overall, 1-4 Pac-12)
Last Game: ASU 42 – Colorado 34
Colorado lost a winnable game at home. For the second straight week, the Buffs gave up 42 points.
This Week: vs. Oregon, 12:30 PM – ESPN
The Pac-12’s best team comes into Boulder on a big winning streak, and it’s on national television. This won’t be pretty
11. California Golden Bears (3–5, 1-5)
Last Game: Oregon 42 – California 24
Bears fans can look at last week’s game as it was their turn to get beat up by Oregon. They did get a glimpse of the future as freshman quarterback Kai Milner was 8 of 11 for 114 yards and two touchdowns in mop-up duty.
This Week: at USC, 12:30 PM – FS1
At least Cal played Oregon at home. This week they have to travel to lose to another Top 10 team.
10. Stanford Cardinal (3-5, 1-5)
Last Game: UCLA 38 – Stanford 13
Stanford’s lack of offense finally caught up with them. After scoring 16 and 15 points in winning their previous two games, 13 wasn’t enough to cut it against UCLA.
The Cardinal broke their 10 quarter touchdown drought. Trailing 38-6 with 4:11 left in the game, Tanner McKee hit Benjamin Yurosek in the end zone for six points.
This Week: vs. Washington State, 12:30 PM – Pac-12 Network
They catch Wazzu at a good time. This week’s visitors are on a three-game losing streak and aren’t putting points on the board at the same rate they were early in the season.
