The best college football games this week involve Pac-12 teams. No. 8 Oregon visits No. 7 Washington for their first meeting when both are in the top 10.
The Huskies opened last season 4-0, then lost their first road game to UCLA and took another loss to Arizona State to drop out of the College Football Playoff conversation.
The Pac-12 has three Top 25 matchups in the same week for the first time and just the 10th time in any conference. No. 19 Colorado at No. 10 Oregon tops the bill.
A group of Big Ten presidents has begun discussing the possibility of adding more West Coast schools to the conference if the Pac-12 continues to crumble.
Julian Strawther hit a 3-pointer with 7.2 seconds left to answer a 3-pointer by UCLA’s Amari Bailey, lifting Gonzaga to a wild 79-76 win over UCLA in the Sweet 16.
Drew Timme and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be reunited once again Thursday night in the desert, when Gonzaga meets UCLA in the NCAA Tournament's West Region semifinals.
