Bud Withers Pac-10 football picks and power rankings
Pac-10 picks
Ohio State 19, Washington 12: What's this, an old-fashioned smash-mouth game in the Pac-10?
WSU 35, Idaho 16: It gets a lot tougher after this for Cougars.
Oregon 33, Fresno State 24: Both teams need to gather themselves after full-out efforts last week.
Oregon State 38, Idaho State 10: Stroughter should start making a big difference for Beavers.
Cal 42, Louisiana Tech 17: Tedford says he's not concerned about the Bears' defense.
Stanford 30, San Jose State 20: Cardinal has to win at home sometime, doesn't it?
USC 30, Nebraska 24: Trojans risking it all on the road in Lincoln.
UCLA 27, Utah 17: But Bruins' offense struggled big time against BYU.
Arizona State 48, San Diego State 13: As Alex Brink will attest, Aztecs play no pass defense.
Arizona 23, New Mexico 20: Not a gimme for Wildcats against Rocky Long's unusual defense.

Willie Tuitama's five TD passes for Arizona last week puts him one-quarter of the way to the school season record of 20 — set in 1966 by Marc Reed. That is seven behind the next-lowest school mark in the Pac-10 (Stanford's 27).
Quote, unquote ...
Lloyd Carr, embattled Michigan coach, asked what qualities he'd like to see in his successor: "That's the last thing on my mind. When that happens, feel free to call me."
