• Washington State: Not a lot here. How about just my Dwight Tardy story and CougCenter's opponent preview? Sorry, wish there were more good stuff to pass on.

• Around the Pac-10: More here, though. The Oregonian's Ken Goe takes a fun look at the Pac-10. ESPN.com's Ted Miller takes a quick look at the conference's strength at linebacker. ... The San Francisco Chronicle ranks the Pac-10 teams. ... Nick Daschel of Buster Sports picks this week's game. ... Washington: Injuries are taking their toll on the Husky receivers. ... Though he's a bench warmer now, Tavita Pritchard put Stanford on the map, leading the upset of USC. ... Oregon State: The Beavers have found their next great tight end. ... Oregon: The Ducks' linebackers have their hands full this week. ... Cal: Costume changes have an oversized importance against Oregon. ... Stanford: We talked linebackers earlier. Here's one of the conference's better ones. ... USC: Yes, WSU fans, it looks like Taylor Mays will play. And no, the Cougars never catch a break. ...UCLA: So far, so good for Rick Neuheisel. However, let us caution, it's early yet. ... Arizona State: The Sun Devils have had trouble finding good nonconference opponents. ... Arizona: Four weeks into the season, the Wildcats are revamping their offense.
