The end is here.
The final weekend of regular-season Pac-12 football is upon us. The league is going out with a bang.
No. 5 Washington and No. 6 Oregon remain in the running for berths in the final four-team College Football Playoff. Both face their in-state rivals this weekย โ with massive consequences.
Depending on the outcome of The Game Formerly Known As The Civil War on Friday night, No. 15 Arizona could have a shot at the Pac-12 Championship Gameย โ a wild notion just a few months ago.
Meanwhile, our in-house race is still percolating. Brett Fera and Justin Spears are tied atop the season-long standings against the spread, two games ahead of Michael Lev.
See below for this week's picks and season records.
