PAC-12 Football Power Rankings – Week Ending 11/15
10. Stanford Cardinal (3-7, 1-7)
Last Game: Utah 42 – Stanford 7
The Cardinal offense was abysmal, and their defense wasn’t much better. They had 175 total yards, including 155 passing and almost one-third of that came on a 51-yard reception by Elijah Higgins.
This Week: at California, 2:30 PM – Pac-12 Networks
It’s the “Big Game”: California at Stanford. Hopefully, this is the big ending to a pair of lackluster seasons.
9. Arizona State Sun Devils (3-7, 2-5)
Last Game: Washington State 28 – Arizona State 18
It was a disappointing start to the game as the Sun Devils went down by 28 points at halftime. They rallied in the second half but fell short.
This Week: vs. Oregon State, 11:15 AM – ESPN2
Washington State isn’t UCLA, but the Cougs are on a roll after their huge win last week. It will be tough for ASU to defend against the Air Raid.
8. Arizona Wildcats (4-6, 2-5)
Last Game: Arizona 34 – UCLA 28
Give it up to the Arizona Wildcats. In the midst of a less-than-stellar season, no one would have known if they mailed it in last week.
Instead, Arizona went to UCLA and crushed the Bruins’ hopes for both the Pac-12 Championship Game and CFP.
Jayden de Laura was outstanding. The Cats quarterback completed 22 of 28 passes for 315 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Running back Michael Wiley had 143 yards from scrimmage and a pair of touchdowns on 27 touches.
This Week: vs. Washington State, 11:00 AM – Pac-12 Networks
Arizona kept themselves alive for the postseason with last week’s upset. The home crowd at Arizona Stadium will be fired up, and the Wildcats can feed off of that emotion.
