No. 14 Oregon State (-3) at No. 21 Washington State (7 PM EST, Fox)

DJ Uiagalelei has been a solid addition for the Beavers in the transfer portal, averaging over 200 yards a game through the air as well as accounting for 10 total touchdowns. He still has two interceptions and Oregon State will be challenged in a big way on Saturday by fellow unbeaten Washington State.

It’s interesting that Washington State and Oregon State are the final Pac-12 leftovers without an exit plan. Yet, here they are, looking like real contenders for the league title.

Washington State beat Wisconsin on its home field a couple of weeks ago and nobody should underestimate the Cougars. Cameron Ward gets the credit but the defense is better than people realize.

The run defense is a concern, but I like Ward and the Cougars on Saturday night.

Washington State 30, Oregon State 27
