Washington State’s exceptional start to the 2023 season saw them climb, deservedly, to the No. 13 spot in the AP poll.
Back-to-back lackluster performances have dropped them out of the top 25 with Oregon looming this week.
Some have theorized that HC Jake Dickert potentially looking at other head coaching jobs is playing a factor, but that’s far from a certainty.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I look at the range of outcomes for all four of the matchups this week.
Only two games are capable of providing a loss either way with Oregon and Washington poised for comfortable wins.
The Pac-12’s playoff hopes appear to be higher than they were before the season thanks to Utah’s lack of having Cam Rising at quarterback.
What about the possibility of two Pac-12 teams getting into the CFP?
