Ross Dellenger of Yahoo!Sports reported on Thursday that the Mountain West is pursuing a 2-year scheduling alliance with the “Pac-2” (Oregon State/Washington State).

That does not appear to be the only option on the table as the Beavs and Cougs seek clarity for 2024 and beyond.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I dive into the latest news for OSU/WSU.

Week 12 has games with big implications nationally and within the context of the Pac-12 Championship Game, and a wild week might be in store for Pac-12 fans.

Coming off of three consecutive winning weeks, I give my ‘Pac-12 Prime Picks’ for the upcoming slate of games.

Once again, I’m picking four point spreads and one over/under total as this week’s best bets.
