The first week of conference play in the Pac-12 lived up to the hype with big statements made by the league’s contenders.

Washington State takes all the momentum they possibly can into their bye with a 4-0 record and two Top 20 wins so far. They’re playing like a Pac-12 contender.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the full slate of games from a loaded Week 4—which lived up to the hype.

Utah’s dominant defense showed up again and reminded everyone why they too can win the Pac-12 if QB Cam Rising is able to return.

Oregon and Washington were utterly dominant and it’s time to start getting excited about their October 14th meeting in Seattle.

But not every Pac-12 fanbase feels as good as the Ducks and Huskies today.

Plus, a word on why ‘reverse realignment’ undoing all the moves is not something to think about in the context of the Pac’s uncertain future.
