The game of the week in College Football lived up to the hype, with the Huskies and the Beavers battling the elements to a 2-point bout that came down to the final drive.

Washington showed once again why they’re capable of making the CFP and perhaps doing even more.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how each fanbase should feel after their team’s performance in Week 12.

Chip Kelly was reportedly on the hot seat heading into Saturday’s game with USC, but he should have earned the right to keep his job after an emphatic 38-20 win over Lincoln Riley and the Trojans.

Oregon State and Washington State’s legal battle to control the Pac-12 and its assets now has a definitive timeline for resolution.

What might they do with sports beyond football?
