UCLA is still shining but the other three western schools, not so much.

Northwestern is going to answer a lot of our questions coming up the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to their game this Saturday up in Eugene. I know Oregon has been a complete flop this season but they still have a lot of 4/5 star guys.

I expect tOSU and IU to continue with wins this weekend. IU may have some QB questions due to injury!

There are a lot of 2-loss teams not only in the BIG, but all across the country. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Are you enjoying the competition that is displayed in all these games? That looks like the future of this sport. Bring your A game every week or get knocked off.

Also, thinking everybody was well aware of the Ohio State QB issue. I didn't list that, but I like both Fahey and St. Clair a lot and I'm not overly concerned about that, personally.
