Papa Burgundy’s back at home, in his apartment filled with leather bound books. And it feels out of sight, my man. But there’s still work to be done.

T-Wire/Action News Pac-10 Power Rankings – Week 12

1.) USC

So much for Brick and his pants party. Now it’s time for the inevitable polka with #2.

2.) Cal

Ooops…somebody got whammied looking ahead to next week.

3.) Oregon

Sorry Brick. You might want to see a doctor. That didn’t look good.

4.) Oregon State

Really should drop further after losing to UCLA — but still have the record and big win to keep them at 4. At least for one more week.

5.) Arizona

How about the crowd on the field with about a minute still to go. Just standing there alongside the players, waiting for the clock to tick out. Surreal.

6.) TIE Washington State

As I was discussing with my new friend in line at the Puerto Vallarta airport — what has happened to the Cougs?

6.) TIE Arizona State

They may not have the record, but we can’t place them behind WSU after that ass-kicking.

8.) UCLA

The ol’ girl’s got some fight left in her yet.

9.) Washington

Ouch. You figured Stanford MIGHT get a win at some point….but you really have to pity the team who gives it to them. 20-3 no less.

10.) Stanford

Congrats to the Tree. Hope you took down the goalposts.
