You can tell the respect is there this season for the Pac-12 with 4 teams ranked in the Top 15 at 8, 10, 12 and 14... despite USC losing to Utah and UCLA to Oregon.

However, Oregon's remaining 5 regular season games involve only 1 ranked team(Utah) at the moment. Although in both the AP and Coaches polls, uw and osu received votes.

Long way to go but it isn't out of the realm that Oregon vs osu could determine who gets in the Pac-12 Championship Game!
