(Trying something new this year - separating the Football Wrap into College and Pros. An attempt to keep both shorter and more focused. We'll see how this lasts)
The Pac-12 has taken a lot of heat the last 2-3 years. USC battled sanctions, UCLA’s been embarrassing. If not for Oregon (and Rob Gronkowski's rise), the Pac-12 has had some inconsistent teams as the Ducks have been carrying the conference.

| Oregon State QB Sean Mannion helped the Pac-12 make big noise Saturday leading the upset over Wisconsin. |

Well two weeks in, the Pac-12 is taking names and making
statements. No. 16 Nebraska? Down to UCLA. No. 13 Wisconsin? Done in by Oregon
State? And Oklahoma State? The team that barely beat Stanford last year in a
bowl game. Outgunned and outmanned by Arizona and new QB Matt Scott.
Big ups to Oregon State also shutting down Heisman candidate Montee Ball, his first game without a TD in 22 games. They beat Wisconsin at their own game - ugly, low scoring and physical.
