Over the past four days, Pac-12 teams went a combined 11-0, so let’s try to make sense of it.
1. USC (1-0): Beat Western Michigan 49-31. It’s fair to say the Trojans didn’t play to the level of expectations, but it’s still an 18-point win over a team that went to a New Year’s Six bowl last season. There are worse ways to open the season. This week is the real test, as Stanford comes to the Coliseum well-rested following its dominant performance in Australia last week.
2. Washington (1-0): Beat Rutgers 30-14.
