From the games played so far around the league, can we see a position better than TENTH in the Pac-12 by Dec.? 
And a likely 4-8 team?
It seems clear that Stanford and KalSucks might each need the Big Game win to go bowling.

Not playing COLO and ZONA really hurts this year. 
At 1-1 after the bye, we face the double road trip to Seattle, then Eugene. 
Then host a potent Beaver squad in PA that can take advantage of Defensive weaknesses.
South Bend awaits as Game 6, after Domers survived the Dingy Bears late Hail Mary attempt in a game that could have gone either way.
We could be 1-5 or by miracle 3-3 midway.  2-4 likely. 

Up comes AZST at home -- possible win, depends on injuries.  
Followed by what might be our last visit to Rose Bowl in a while for a homer with UCLA.  
Maybe we get a split, sitting at 3-5, optimistically?  Posting 4-4 after 8 games on our schedule would be heroic.

We close out with WAST, who looked good cooking COST, and beat #19 WISC there. 
Then a brutal visit to UTAH, and @KAL, finishing with BYU... who were pecked harshly by Ducks last night, 41-20. 

I don't see us scratching 3 wins out of that finishing lineup, unless the O-Line goes Dominant and we get turnovers. 
So, we need to be at 4-4, going into the final four games.  Beat WAST or BYU, and Big Game WILL BE FOR A BOWL BERTH.
Kal may need Big Game for a bowl also...  Similar to Big Game 1982 when Kal entered at 6-4; Elway-led Stanford at 5-5.  
NOTE:  2022 will be the FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY of "The Play".  A Day that will Live in Infamy.   

How do we stack up now within the Pac-12 after two games?

The best chance would be at Bowlmor in Cupertino. As far as football, you'll most likely see another couple, maybe three (?), more W's in the next ten weeks. That is if McKee stays vertical.
