The Pac-12 Games are, for early in the season of conference play, super important in setting a lot of these teams on the course of finishing higher in the standings and getting into the NCAA… For example, the Oregon and Colorado game, Colorado had a very good preseason And will be off to a great conference start if they get this win, however Oregon also had a good preseason, but dropped their game Thursday at Washington (they had chances to get that one) and really needs this game to get back on course to where they want to go.
Huge game for Pepperdine and Portland, Pepperdine has two incredibly impressive preseason wins, along with a couple of head scratcher losses… Perhaps this game points a little bit into which way they end up going…
Clearly the BYU Santa Clara game is a monster for them… And Washington State has a big chance to make a statement against Stanford...
Obviously there are other big games listed above, but these are just a few that caught my eye.
