Oregon State is going to jump into the top 10 this week after blowing the doors off of Stanford on Saturday night. The Beavers were expecting a tough matchup as Stanford had been giving other Pac-12 contenders a battle each week, but Oregon State didn’t have any trouble with Troy Taylor’s squad.

Oregon State was up 34-10 at halftime and only extended that lead in the second half to win 62-17 and we’ll see the No. 12 Beavers jump into the top 10 this week for that dominant win. This was one of the more impressive wins of the week and it proves that the Beavers are better than we give them credit for.

The Beavers still control their own destiny for the Pac-12 title and we have to credit Jonathan Smith for the turnaround of DJ Uiagalelei.
