The Battle for Los Angeles has the most national attention amid a fantastic lineup of league games on Saturday, with USC's College Football Playoff hopes hanging in the balance at the Rose Bowl. Great matchups and a rivalry or 2 (one of them personal) highlight a stacked Saturday slate of games in the Pac-12.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin goes through every game in the Pac-12 this weekend with keys and predictions. Arizona has to win its final two games to reach a bowl after going 1-11 last year, what's the biggest key against a red hot Washington State team?

The Big Game is one of Spencer's Pac-12 Prime Picks this week, with the Bears looking to win 2 straight over the Cardinal for the first time since 2008-09'. He also goes through the biggest questions for each team in the rest of the games which includes a major injury watch in the Oregon-Utah matchup.

The Pac-12 has 6 teams in the latest iteration of the College Football Playoff top 25 rankings, more than any other conference in America. The 3 lowest ranked teams (Oregon State, Washington, UCLA) are still not getting the full amount of respect they deserve given the seasons they've had to this point.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Carter Bahns (senior writer/editor at BeaverBlitz.com) to talk about why the Beavs, Huskies, and Bruins all deserve to be ranked higher. Carter also sheds insight on how the Beavers can avoid a potential letdown on the road against a struggling Arizona State squad.

This year's 'Big Game' between Stanford and Cal may not have the highest stakes, but the history of that matchup that still makes it intriguing in its 125th iteration. Plus, they answer a listener question about why players decide to leave CFB for the NFL when returning for another year might be to their benefit.

The Pac-12's future at the moment seems uncertain in several areas ranging from realignment to the terms of the next media deal. But in the present right now, the conference's final two weeks of football are shaping up to

Arizona and Washington played spoiler for two teams who had the potential to break the Pac-12's drought of appearing in the College Football Playoff (2016-17 Washington). USC is now the league's only hope this year with still just one loss on the resume, but there's upside going forward for the league as well.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the biggest storylines surrounding the conference's wild football slate from the weekend. The playoff hopes might be on life support for the Pac-12, but there's a real upside to one outcome in particular on Saturday for the conference going forward--especially with media rights negotiations hanging in the balance.

The Pac-12 should have half of its teams ranked when the new CFP rankings are released on Tuesday evening, with only USC likely to be in the top 10. Do the Trojans have a realistic path to the playoff this year?

Washington pulled one of the biggest upsets of the year in Pac-12 conference play, knocking off Oregon inside Autzen Stadium to snap the Ducks' 23-game home winning streak. The Ducks still control their own fate to get to the Pac-12 Championship game, but now are on thin ice after suffering their first conference loss. UCLA's fate is arguably in a worse state of events after a SHOCKING upset--at home--to a 20-point underdog in Arizona.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at each team's result from the weekend and gauges how each fan base should be feeling as we look ahead to the ensuing week. Oregon appears at the bottom of that list for the first time since their week 1 loss to Georgia, while Washington makes a return to the top of the list in terms of how their fans are feeling after beating their rival on the road.

Spencer goes through the rest of the Pac-12 teams' Monday morning moods including why Oregon State surpassed expectations (while Cal fell short of theirs) and how Washington State could keep riding a second-half wave to a 7 or 8 win regular season under Jake Dickert. Arizona fans are riding high with two home games left this season, and now a very real chance at bowl eligibility.

Oregon remains the lone unbeaten in Pac-12 play, and so far nobody other than Georgia (3 points) has been able to hold the Ducks under 40 this season. Washington, now back in the Top 25, will look to go into Autzen Stadium on Saturday and keep pace with the Ducks--with an offense that is as capable as any in the Pac-12 of doing so.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin examines how Washington needs the game to play out in order to give Oregon their first Pac-12 loss of the season. The upside for Washington is that their biggest strength on offense, combined with strong OL play as of late, could have the opportunity to thrive against an inconsistent Oregon defense.

CBS College Football analyst Danny Kanell joins Spencer to talk about this week's Pac-12 Prime Picks with lots of double digit point spreads on the board in this week's Pac-12 slate. They go through the three picks this week that look like the best bets featuring the WSU-ASU game, UCLA hosting Arizona,

The Pac-12 has three teams in the latest CFP rankings that fall inside the top 12: #6 Oregon, #8 USC, and #12 UCLA. The Trojans have been impressive at 8-1 and have the league's best loss @ Utah by just a single point. But the Trojans are getting too much respect based on their resume by being put 4 slots ahead of UCLA, who are just 1 spot above a 2-loss Utah team that they handled at home.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Utes' host JT Wistrcill to look at the fallout from the latest College Football Playoff rankings for the Pac-12. Which of the three teams with just one loss are looking like the most serious contender for a top 4 final ranking and a slot in the CFP?

JT also shares insight on the Utes who continue to (quietly) play good football and keep themselves in the Pac-12 Championship picture. Can Kyle Whittingham and the Utes still repeat as Pac-12 champions in 2022?

The Pac-12 Championship game picture continues to give us a plethora of scenarios down the stretch, and the conference's path to the College Football Playoff is starting to clear up as they get help from around the country. What about the possibility of having two teams play in high-profile New Year's 6 bowl games this year? It could happen if the chips fall the right way.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Carter Bahns of BeaverBlitz.com to talk about that possibility and why it would be good news for the Pac-12 if it came to pass, even as many have begun to diminish the value of bowl season. Which two teams would be the most likely pair to appear in NY6 games this season given the championship landscape?

Oregon State suffered a mightily disappointing loss at Washington on Friday night, one that featured some in-game decisions that were at times questionable from HC Jonathan Smith. Carter shares his insight on what's still attainable for the Beavs as they play out the rest of the season--could the re-enter the Top 25?
