Arizona at No. 20 USC (12:30 p.m. Saturday) ABC
 
The Wildcats enter this matchup a week removed from an exciting 20-17 win over Arizona State. Though Arizona appeared to be in command with an early 14-0 lead at halftime, the Sun Devils were not ready to quit. In what would be their last home game, seniors Danny Sullivan connected with Kyle Williams for a 44-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 14-10. After an Arizona field goal with 7:50 left, Williams and Sullivan connected again to tie the game at 17. After a three-and-out by the Wildcats, it looked as if Arizona State would get the ball back with about a minute left. However, Williams fumbled the punt and the Wildcats took over at the Sun Devil 22. Sophomore kicker Alex Zendejas then kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to give the Wildcats their seventh win. Sophomore quarterback Nick Foles finished with 148 yards and no touchdowns, while sophomore running back Keola Antolin ran for 78 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries. The Trojans, meanwhile, regained a bit of their swagger with a 28-7 win over UCLA last week. The Bruins struggled to find a rhythm on offense, and didn’t score until the fourth quarter. On the Trojans’ side, senior running back Allen Bradford ran for two touchdowns and freshman quarterback Matt Barkley went 18 for 26 with a touchdown and interception. The touchdown came on a controversial 48-yard pass to senior wide receiver Damian Williams with just 44 seconds left.
 
Key stat: Arizona has lost seven straight matchups against the Trojans.
 
No. 19 California at Washington (3:30 p.m.)
 
The Golden Bears should come into this game feeling refreshed after a bye week. They are also coming off of two straight wins over ranked teams (Arizona and Stanford). Junior running back Jahvid Best will not be returning to the field after suffering a concussion three weeks ago but his replacement should do just fine. Sophomore running back Shane Vereen has been on fire since replacing Best. Two weeks ago against Stanford, he ran for 193 yards (a career-high) and three touchdowns. Junior quarterback Kevin Riley added 235 yards thorough the air, and the Golden Bears went on to win 34-28. Washington is also looking to end their season on a high note. The Huskies finally ended a four game losing streak with a 30-0 win over the reeling Washington State Cougars. Jake Locker threw for a touchdown and also ran for 94 yards and a score. Freshman running back Chris Polk continued to impress with 130 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore wide receiver Jermaine Kearse had 94 yards and a touchdown on just four catches. The defense also stepped up, allowing Washington State to gain just 163 total yards and forcing two turnovers.
 
Key stat: Last year, the Golden Bears racked up 431 rushing yards against Washington.
