The Beavers take on Washington State in Reser Stadium is just over two weeks! Pac-12 football is finally just around the corner.

ESPN FPI has the OSU/WSU game as essentially a toss-up, giving the slight edge to Washington State. The rest of the scheduled games are not exactly favorable for the Beavs.
