Pac-12 Football: Week 5 Power Rankings feature unexpected top four
Arizona followed up a strong performance against UTEP with a very respectable loss 30-24 loss to Utah. While I do not subscribe to moral victories, I do applaud a gritty performance. The Wildcats will live and die by the arm of quarterback Brandon Dawkins. He is a weapon with his legs, but needs to step up his passing if Arizona intends on knocking off any of the top 4 teams in the Pac-12 Power rankings
Week 5 Opponent: BYE
I believe we have a rock solid idea of who Colorado is after four weeks. The Buffaloes are a No.8 – No. 9 team in the Pac-12 that is stout team defensively, but offensively limited. They can beat any team in the conference team if they protect the football better. Colorado held their own against Washington until Steven Montez started throwing interceptions. They ended up losing 37-10 to Washington, but they should not be taken lightly by anyone.
Week 5 Opponent: @UCLA
Josh Rosen is really, really good. The UCLA defense is not good. The Bruins are giving up a staggering 43.3 points per game through four games. In Week 4, UCLA took on a struggling Stanford squad. The Bruins 58-34 loss to the Cardinal was one of the most puzzling games of the week. I expected UCLA to win this game or put up a better fight. Their Week 5 matchup against Colorado is the most important game of the season. If the Bruins lose that game, a bowl game could be in question.
