ESPN.com’s Ted Miller has his conference power rankings, while Nick Daschel at Buster Sports gives out grades. … Washington: The loss in Tempe dealt a sharp blow to the Huskies’ bowl hopes. … Miller calls out defensive coordinator Nick Holt for his actions late in the game. … Oregon State: Bye week, no football story. … Oregon: The Ducks at midseason. … Cal: Nothing here. … Stanford: Or here for that matter. … USC: Pete Carroll isn’t a fan of the BCS computers. …UCLA: The Bruins are in trouble in the Pac-10. … Arizona State: The better Danny Sullivan plays, the more he will play. … Arizona: The Wildcats were on target by picking Nick Foles to be their quarterback.
