The end of the 2010 PAC-10 season is fast approaching with some teams getting their last chance in Week 11 to secure a bowl bid for one final time.
The Ducks still pretty much control their own destiny. If they win out, they not only win the Pac-10, they play for the national title. However, if they lose a game they still go to the Rose Bowl no matter what anyone else does, as the Ducks own the head-to-head tiebreaker with Stanford.
As for Stanford, if it wins out as well as Oregon, it will finish alone in second. If a non-automatic qualifying conference team ends up in the national title game, then Stanford would appear in the Rose Bowl.
If Stanford wins out, but the Rose Bowl is forced to pick a non-automatic qualifying team, say like TCU or Boise State, then the Cardinal would be in the hunt for an at-large BCS bowl berth.
The rest of the conference is too close to say with some teams already out of contention at this point in the season.

Washington State (1-9, 0-7) at Oregon State (4-4, 3-2), FSN NW, 3:30 P.M. ET
With games remaining on the Beavers schedule against USC, Stanford, and Oregon, this bout with the Cougars is a must win for Oregon State it wants to keep its bowl hopes alive.
As for the Cougars, can they put together another competitive game, or implode like they did on their last road trip at Arizona State? My guess is the latter as Wazzou’s 110th ranked defense tries to contain Beavs’ running back Jacquizz “Gidget” Rodgers who has shredded better defenses, rolling up 800 yards and 13 TDs while catching two more for scores.
And what about the Cougars offense, or lack thereof, also ranked in the top 10 worst in the country at 110 with a paltry 17.6 PPG.
Oregon State beat Washington State on the road 42-10 last season, and I really don’t see how this year’s result will be much different. Quarterback Jeff Tuel is one bright spot on the team but he alone will not be enough to keep the Cougars in this game, as the Beavers get one at home.
Prediction: Oregon State – Bet Now
Odds: Washington State: +23.5 – Oregon State: -23.5 – Over/Under: 57

No. 1 Oregon (9-0, 6-0) at California (5-4, 3-3), Versus, 7:30 P.M. ET
I mean really, does anyone have a chance at beating the Eugene Machine? Even when they fall behind early on, just like they did Ala Stanford and last week’s game against the Huskies, they end up coming out smelling like roses. No pun intended. It’s like a saber tooth tiger playing with its prey before devouring it.
You have to wonder if Cal has any chance, particularly with its backup quarterback, Brock Mansion, and an offense that could only score 20 points at Washington State?
The No. 1 Ducks just need to win out to clinch a berth in the national championship game. With No. 18 Arizona and cross state rival Oregon State still left on the slate, they cannot afford to slip up against Cal.
While the G-Bears are a completely different team at home, going 4-0 this season, they should not be disappointed if they lose to Oregon by less than the predicted spread. .
Prediction: Uh, the Ducks – Bet Now
Odds: Oregon: -20 – California: +20 – Over/Under: 58.5

No. 6 Stanford (8-1, 5-1) at Arizona State (4-5, 2-4), FSAZ, 7:30 P.M. ET
The Sun Devils must win their final three games to earn certain bowl eligibility, but it’s not likely to happen against the No. 6 Stanford Cardinal who continued their dominance by beating then-No.15 Arizona 42-17 last week.
The Cardinal continue to stay right on the heels of the division leading Ducks, the only team they have fallen to this campaign, while cementing their bid for a possible Rose Bowl appearance and defining themselves as one of the best teams in the country.
The offense gets a lot of “luck”, as in Heisman hopeful, quarterback, Andrew Luck who has been a major reason why they are putting up better than 42 points per game, which is fifth best in the country.
The Devils’ meanwhile are much better than their 4-5 record indicates, and teams must be wary of falling victim of an upset. QB Steven Threet has played well throwing for 2,372 yards and 17 TDs, but he has also thrown 15 picks. So the story goes.
A much better equipped Arizona State should keep this one close avoiding another blowout like last year’s 33-14 loss to the Cardinal. However, I just don’t think the ASU secondary will be able to contain Luck when he heats up in the Sonoran Desert.
Prediction: Stanford – Bet Now
Odds: Stanford: -5.5 – Arizona State: +5.5 – Over/Under: 59

USC (6-3, 3-3) at No. 18 Arizona (7-2, 4-2), ABC, 8 P.M. ET
What has happened to the vaunted Wildcats’ defense? No. 18 Arizona dropped its last game to Stanford, 42-17 on the road, and with just one loss at home, will now host the Trojans who are 3-1 away from the Coliseum and coming of a clutch 34-33 win over struggling Arizona State.
While the Trojans are playing for pride, the Wildcats are playing for a bowl berth and trying to stay in the tail of Stanford, should they stumble this weekend against ASU.
The ‘Cats defense had been allowing just 17.4 PPG, but was steamrolled for 510 yards by the Cardinal last week. Has the defense packede it in?
They’re going to find out in hurry as the USC offense is no cupcake, averaging a 14th best 36.4 PPG while QB Matt Barkley has had an impressive season throwing for 2,348 yards and 24 TDs.
USC’s problems still remain its defense that has struggled to maintain consistency since the start of the season, especially in the latter half of games.
Both defenses seem to have its problems, but Barkley is the better of the two young guns.
Prediction: USC – Bet Now
Odds: USC: +4 – Arizona: -4 – Over/Under: 59.5
