USC            |  9-0  |  12-0
Oregon         |  7-2  |  10-2

Predictions:

- If USC beats Ohio State on September 13, they will play in the BCS National Championship game.

- Oregon will have double-digit wins and be USC's only threat for the conference title.

- Arizona State's record will be a little worse than last season. Oregon State's will be a lot worse, so much that they won't go bowling.

- With huge wins last season over USC and California, everyone will be high on Stanford this season. I say they are still at least another year away from a bowl game.

- Arizona's Mike Stoops and Washington's Ty Willingham will be on the hot seat at the end of the season after both coaches fail to make the postseason again.
