I’ve watched several Arizona games this season. They’ve looked pretty average in a lot of them. Oregon will be the team to challenge us for the title. Pac12 with only 2 ranked teams is down this year. UCLA looks pretty average. Not sure what to make of Oregon State as they are yet to play a Pac12 game. 

We will find out how "good" Colorado is next weekend in Boulder. But after watching tonight's games, I'd put Oregon as our biggest challenger to winning the conference championship. Oregon has 5 loses  (albeit with several injuries and key players out) on the season and Arizona is undefeated. Oregon looks like the better team. Arizona to me seems to be more of a pretender than contender, although they will win plenty of games and finish in the top half of the conference. Not sure what to make of UCLA or Oregon State as neither team has had a game in quite some time with lots of cancellations.

I worry about our match up with Colorado coming up.  They have beaten us with the same players they now have, and they have two outstanding players indeed to go with an aggressive defensive coach.  But they are not as complete or as deep a team as a healthy Oregon.  Colorado at home might have as good a shot at beating us as Oregon, but I think Oregon has a better shot at winning the conference than Colorado.  Hopefully we will quash both of their hopes.
