Win projections

Needless to say, this race became pretty clear last week. Arizona State could still muddy things up, and UCLA (which whipped ASU) lingers just a game back, but the chances of an Oregon-ASU title game are looking strong.

NORTH
Major contenders: Oregon
Minor contenders: nope

Basically, any scenario that features the North turning into a race requires Oregon to lose out, which means losing to both Utah and Oregon State on the road and Colorado at home. So ... congrats, Ducks. You're good to go.

SOUTH
Serious contenders: Arizona State
Minor contenders: UCLA, USC

Again, ASU's not in the clear here. The Sun Devils do still have to play at Arizona, and a trip to Corvallis never feels like a total gimme. But for UCLA to win the division, ASU would have to get upset (and yes, Arizona beating ASU would only be a tiny upset) and UCLA would have to win out against Washington (road), USC (home), and Stanford (home). Impossible? Hardly. But ASU's the favorite heading into Week 11.
