Here are the three things I'll be watching in college football ...

-- Few people figured before the season that Colorado and Washington State would be leading their divisions of the Pac-12 in mid-November. But here they are, going head-to-head on Saturday in Boulder.

Colorado, in particular has been a surprise. The Buffaloes have taken some injury hits, but coach CU Mike MacIntyre has developed some depth to along with the edge with which his team plays.

-- I don't like Oregon's chances at Utah. The Ducks haven't stopped the run well all year, and now face the Utes' formidable ground game with a banged-up defensive line.
