Oregon has just won in OT.

It only somewhat matters to Stanford. Previously, I had argued that it would be best for Stanford if Washington won, because we would then get more "credit" for beating UW at home. In any case, I expected that we would need to beat UW at home to get to the conference championship. This is still probably true. The Oregon win creates a situation where a three-way tie would be possible in the North (if we lose to Washington). However, since we lost to Utah, such a tie would require both Oregon and Washington to have another conference loss. While certainly not impossible, it is improbable IMHO. If we win out, it doesn't matter. So, lets just do that!

While I basically agree with you, there are some interesting possibilities. What if Oregon runs the table? It is not impossible. They don't have a "killer" schedule for the rest of the year. Do they get in? Probably depends a lot on ND and the Big-12. More interesting, what if Colorado does? This is less probable, as they have a much harder schedule (including SC and UW). We will know a lot more after today. But it is at least theoretically possible.

Washington looks beatable (duh) but not sure Stanford will be in shape to do it (possibly also duh).

Is it mathematically possible for every Pac-12 team to have a disappointing season?

Stanford, Washington, USC, Arizona, UCLA--all disappointments.

Kal, Arizona State, Oregon State, Utah--about as expected, but one loss away from disappointment territory.

Colorado, Washington State, Oregon--exceeding expectations, for now.

And they end the half with a missed 32 yard field goal. 13-0 at the half.

BC

And we think we have offensive trouble.  Cal has 108 yards of total offense at the half.  7/15 for 50 yards passing; 14 caries for 58 yards.

30-7 loss at home to a previously winless UCLA.

Meanwhile, those who wrote off Harbaugh and Michigan after the loss to Notre Dame did so prematurely; Harbauagh is beating Wisconsin easily.

By the way, I didn’t realize that Pep Hamilton is reunited with Harbaugh and coaching the much improved Michigan offense. I wonder if we talked to him in the off season.

UCLA has beaten Cal. Probably not at all what most people expected. Cal getting beat was not off the radar, but that badly is certainly unexpected. The Cal web sites are going nuts. Perhaps Wilcox isn't the answer? Just glad it is not us in that position.

Any possibility we might try to do so after this season?  Please?  Or someone?  Tavita may have risen beyond his level of competence.

Only by very little. Tate was injured in the first quarter and did not return. Without him, Arizona has no offense whatsoever. Couple that with an undersized and somewhat slow defense and you get what happened.

UA has had no offense this year, even with Tate. Tate is not Tate from last year, in large part, whether because he has been hurt or Sumlin has instituted a new scheme, he hardly runs anymore.

Colorado is down 21-7 to USC in the second half, so barring a comeback, looking less good for Colorado.

Judged from a playoff perspective, the Pac-12 is a disaster this year.

Make it 28-7. Going to go out on a limb, and say Colorado is not a playoff team. Might need more data though. :)
