1. USC Looks Good

The Cardinal might not be very good this year, but that doesn’t’ USC’s shredding of them in Palo Alto doesn’t show the Trojans at least pass the eye test really well so far under Lincoln Riley.

2. Caleb Williams Does Too…

He certainly looks ready to impress in the Conference and possibly even be the first West Coast player since Oregon’s Marcus Mariota, in 2014, to be a major Heisman candidate.

3. Washington State Can Play Defense

Winning big nonconference games on the road is so hard and the Cougars did it in a new way—out touching a big-time Big Ten opponent with stifling defense.

The Cougs look to be a problem in the North yet again.

4. Don’t Sleep on Oregon State.

Opening with wins over two perennial Mountain West powers is a statement in a day and age where Pac-12 teams have regularly struggled against those teams.

5. Hold on Arizona for Now

They instead showed that they’re a better team that likely has a long way to go.

Getting to a bowl game in a deep Pac-12 will be a challenge.

6. Oregon and Utah Can Take Care of Business

The Ducks and Utes put the past behind them by obliterating lesser opponents and it’s exactly what both programs needed to do.

7. Is Colorado Gonna Give Up Football?

Doing it against Air Force is another.

The Buffs are at risk of going 0-12 this season and the future looks incredibly bleak.

8. ASU is Probably OK

They showed some fight on the road against a good Oklahoma State team and I think showed they probably aren’t going to be a dumpster fire.

9. Cal Still Looking the Same

Nothing seems different after they slugged out a low-scoring win over perennial punching bag UNLV.
