Last week, the Pac-12 played seven nonconference matchups against Power 5 opponents.

For Week 3, there is just one such game. It’s demonstrative of the largest issue in college football: scheduling.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin gets you ready for week 3 of college football across the Pac-12.

He makes his game predictions for every Pac-12 game, with Washington at Michigan State as the headline matchup.

Spencer is back with his best bets in the ‘Pac-12 Prime Picks’ segment after starting 7-3 through the first 2 weeks.

He explains why if there was ever a week to fade his picks, this would be the week given the amount of uncertainty.
