Oregon St. at BYU, BYU by 6: Not sure you’ll often see an unranked team favored against a top-10 team. Also not sure OSU is a top-10 team. OSU 21-10.

USC at UW, USC by 12: The end of UW’s so-called gauntlet. It’s not a happy one. USC 35-24.

California at WSU, Cal by 7.5: It’s make-or-break time for WSU’s bowl hopes. At least 10,000 fans will leave with a bobblehead doll. Cal 31-20.

Last week: 4-1 straight up, 3-2 against the spread. Season: 37-11, 18-21 ATS
