The favorable schedule this week should keep all eight in the rankings.
Let's start the weekly power ratings with a brief look at the national rankings.
The Pac-12 placed eight teams in the latest AP top-25 poll, three more than the SEC and four more than the Big Ten. It's the highest total in conference history, besting the previous record of six . Only the SEC has ever placed at least eight teams in the AP poll. Through two weeks, the Pac-12 is 20-3 against nonconference opponents and 6-3 against Power Five foes.Of the eight ranked teams, one is idle on Saturday , six are heavy favorites and the eighth, Washington, has a challenging game but is unlikely to drop out of the poll with a loss.
All of which means the Pac-12 will enter conference play with two-thirds of its teams ranked, setting up a barrage of premier matchups through the heart of the season and College Football Playoff selection process.
