. Wildcats . 10. team. 835. .

Losers of four in a row now, it’s hard to see the best case scenario for the Wildcats. With the Sun Devils still outperforming expectations, this team is floundering and wasting Khalil Tate’s career. I’m not sure how this team gets better, and have three games they’ll be the underdog in to end the season.

One has to think that the game against Arizona State might be to save Kevin Sumlin’s job.

. . . Cougars . 9. team. 846

A team with a much-needed bye week, the Cougars were oh so close to pulling of the upset over the Ducks. This offense continues to be a fantastic Mike Leach offense, but the defense just cannot get any stops.

The Cougars have winnable games to get bowl eligible ahead, which they should with ease. They need to win a lot of games to end the season, or they risk Leach jumping ship for a better offer (I’m looking at you Florida State and USC).

I think they’ll bounce back, but maybe not enough if Leach gets a real offer.

8. team. 871. . . . Cardinal

The trees have won three of their last four, and now have two more winnable games in their last four against Colorado and Cal. With this roster, getting back to bowl eligibility will be a remarkable come back.

It’s really nice to see KJ Costello back and playing well after the injuries and poor play to start the year. He’s going to start improving his draft stock these next few weeks against Washington State and the Buffs. He’s passed whatever bad voodoo on to Steven Montez.
