Morning links: Power rankings and Pac-12 officials
Make sure you make it back here for our weekly live chat at 11 a.m. Until then, enjoy some links.
The Pac-12 doesn't have a reputation for spotless officiating, but a few of the conference's coaches think it's getting better. There's been some movement at the top of my weekly Pac-12 Power Rankings. Yesterday's video interview with Mike Leach was pretty fun, and we've also got a good one with Joe Salave'a. Don't miss our report from yesterday's practice.
Andrew Greif of The Oregonian got a head start on today's chat by asking me Five Questions about the Cougars. … Stefanie Loh transcribed the highlights of Leach's appearance on John Canzano's radio show. … CougCenter selected Marcellus Pippins for WSU's Player of the Week. … Coug-a-Sutra gives his State of the Program in this manifesto.
Vernon Adams may not be able to play on Saturday but the former Eastern Washington quarterback is keeping busy. … If Adams can't play, and neither of the two QBs who played against Colorado look good, is there a fourth option for UO? Probably not. … It sure would be an interesting bit of trivia if WSU managed to lose to Portland State but beat Oregon in the same season.
