UCLA has been shitty for quite awhile. They have some decent times here and there but they lack a quarterback and in the PAC 10, especially this year, you need a good quarterback. Cal is a continued enigma. They have a good coach and a talented team but can't quite put it together. A strong part of that is their quarterback as well who seems to fall apart at the wrong times. Andrew Luck is beast. I love watching him play. And Stanford plays a great power running game. Huge offensive line and bruising backs. If you like Luck, though, you should watch Arizona. Their QB, Nick Foles, is a lot like Luck. Big, strong, great balance and vision. Arizona's running game isn't as good as Stanford's but their defense is better coming in at number 3 in the nation in points per game allowed. Oregon State is a bit of an unknown. They always start the season with maddening losses but then have been amazing October onwards. This year they have a rookie QB though and the defense lost a lot of guys to the NFL and retirement. At this point, they've lost two games already. But those two games were both to teams in the top 5. So how good are they? No one really knows. They'll probably finish around 4th in the conference at a guess but it is tough to say with them. > My conference, the Big 12, is way down this year.

Nebraska just flat out embarrassed Washington. That was ugly, I like what I saw. I agree with OU as being solid but unspectacular. KSU looked pretty decent when I saw them. I haven't seen Missou yet this year.
