After more than a month of college football, lines have been drawn in the sand. The Big 12 is proving to be a deeper conference than originally projected. The battle for the Pac-12 title will be one of the most compelling storylines in the country. As top programs look to add resume-boosting wins, this week’s slate provides plenty of interesting matchups.
