It is week five in the college football season and the Pac-12 conference schedule is in full swing. The Pac-12 is 19-11 in non-conference games, and frankly hasn’t looked very good.

Week one should be much more pleasant for the Beaver’s this year, and their fans should be able to walk away from the opening weekend happy. Last year the Beavers bravely did what most others in the BCS conferences refuse to do by scheduling a mid-major powerhouse, then they scheduled another. It is no secret [...]
