Morning links: Power rankings and a live chat

The SportsLink live WSU chat doesn’t take a bye week. So join us at 11 a.m.

Study up for our chat by reading our conference notebook and my Pac-12 power rankings . … PJ Kendall picked a defensive player for CougCenter Player of the Week. … Stefanie Loh has her daily post . … Chantel Jennings has more on the Oregon State offensive coordinator’s extreme love of Diet Coke. … The Huskies haven’t allowed a passing touchdown. That will probably change against California. … Mark Helfrich is no longer just ” the guy who followed Chip Kelly .” … Cody Kessler doesn’t have fond memories of his last trip to Arizona State.

Today’s bonus link is a story by David Zax for Atlas Obscura about a healthy healer living on an island inhabited by people with leprosy.
