All 10 Pacific-10 Conference teams will get a shot to prove they are worthy of the conference crown Saturday.
Oregon is the only team that hasn’t wavered in its quest for greatness, as the Ducks are the only undefeated Pac-10 team remaining this season. Two other teams in the Pac-10 have only lost one game and only one team is below .500.
Four Pac-10 teams are nationally ranked in the Associated Press top-25 poll, highlighting the rise to national prominence of the conference.

Arizona (3-2, 0-1 Pac-10)

at No. 22 Washington (3-2, 0-1)
Things look good for the Huskies in this matchup, if history is a guide. Washington leads the series with the Wildcats 13-4-1, winning the last three and eight of the last 10.
Washington could need anger-management classes after last weekend’s loss to California. The Golden Bears handed the Huskies a 34-27 loss, the first time Cal has beaten Washington since 1976. The streak was 19 consecutive wins for Washington.
Arizona has had trouble lately with injuries, as star halfback Clarence Farmer was out with a knee injury.
But last week wide receiver Bobby Wade had a career-high 12 catches for 151 yards against Oregon. Quarterback Jason Johnson has been picked off just three times in 166 passing attempts and is averaging 269.8 yards per game for the Wildcats.
But in the quarterback competition, the Huskies easily prevail over the Wildcats. Washington quarterback Cody Pickett is averaging 373.6 yards per game and destroying the Pac-10 quarterback competition in that category, while also carrying a 66.2 completion percentage.
Picket just missed his third-consecutive 400-yard passing game with 399 yards against Cal last week.
Last year was a battle between Arizona and Washington, with the Huskies prevailing 31-28 in Seattle. Pickett passed for a school-record 455 yards and Johnson passed for early touchdowns, but had to leave the game with a concussion. It’s sure to be another fierce battle if the Cats can find a way to isolate the Dawgs’ passing game.

No. 12 Washington State (5-1, 2-0)

at Stanford (1-3, 0-1)
The Cougars enter this weekend’s matchup riding the momentum train. Washington State has won five of its last six Pac-10 road games and stole a win from the Trojans on Saturday in overtime.
The Cardinal has a commanding lead in the series at 30-21-1 since the teams first met in 1936, and Stanford has won eight of the last 10 overall. But the Cougars prevailed last year in a match to remember.
Both teams strolled into Palo Alto still undefeated and only one would remain that way as Washington State prevailed 45-39. It was all offense as the teams combined for 525 yards and 59 points in the first half alone.
Stanford has started with a rough schedule, with three of the Cardinal’s first four games on the road. A loss to No. 9 Notre Dame last weekend snapped Stanford’s three-game win streak against teams ranked in the top 10. Stanford is currently the only team in the Pac-10 to have a losing record.
The offensive matchup will be interesting for the two teams, as the Cardinal dominates on the ground and the Cougars lead in passing. Stanford fullback Casey Moore is averaging 6.5 yards per carry, making him the top rusher by average in the Pac-10.
Washington State quarterback Jason Gesser ranks fourth in the Pac-10 at 266.2 yards per game. Gesser recently passed Drew Bledsoe and Ryan Leaf on the WSU career total offense list last week with 7,278 total offensive yards. Although Gesser has been hurting from a rib injury, it hasn’t swayed his performance.

Oregon State (4-2, 0-2) at Arizona State

(4-2, 1-0)
Things are not looking too good right now for Oregon State. Not only have the Beavers started conference play with two losses, but the last time they won in Tempe, Ariz., was in 1969, back before the Sun Devils were a Pac-10 team.
Arizona State at a huge advantage in the series at 20-7-1. The Sun Devils have owned nine of the last 10 against the Beavers and have won 14 straight in Arizona. Last year the Beavers led 24-20 into the fourth quarter but eventually lost 41-24.
But this is 2002. Oregon State sophomore quarterback Derek Anderson has 17 touchdown passes, and is the Pac-10 leader in that category. Tailback Steven Jackson has the two longest runs in the league this year ­ 80 yards against UCLA and 75 against Fresno State.
The Beavers are outscoring opponents 68-13 in the first quarter and the OSU defense leads the Pac-10 with 12 interceptions.
Junior wide receiver Shaun McDonald is on a streak for the Sun Devils with three consecutive 100-yard games. Quarterback Andrew Walter has been playing exceptionally well with 400-yard passing days the past two weeks.
It will be a wild Saturday in Tempe, and maybe the Beavers won’t let history repeat itself.
