UNDATED (AP) — Stanford plays at No. 22 Arizona State in the Pac-12’s top game this week. Both teams are coming off impressive wins. The Cardinal scored the tying touchdown on an untimed play on their way to beating No. 8 Oregon 31-24 in overtime. The Sun Devils picked up one of their best wins under coach Herm Edwards, knocking off then-No. 20 UCLA 42-23. Oregon State plays at Washington State, Utah is at USC, and UCLA plays at Arizona in a light slate in the Pac-12.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — The surprising Oregon State Beavers are the only undefeated team in conference play in the Pac-12 North. It’s the first time the Beavers have ever been in sole possession of the division’s top spot. The Beavers are riding their first four-game winning streak since 2013. Oregon State also leads the league in scoring offense with an average of 36 points a game. Conference play continues for the Beavers this week with a trip to Pullman on Saturday for a game against Washington State.

UNDATED (AP) — Nobody should be rooting harder for Notre Dame the rest of the season than Cincinnati. The fifth-ranked Bearcats passed their big test last weekend by beating the Fighting Irish. They open American Athletic Conference play on Friday night against Temple. If the Bearcats are to make the case to the College Football Playoff selection committee that they can beat the top teams in the country, Notre Dame needs to remain one of those. The Irish bring their struggling offense to Virginia Tech on Saturday.
