The Pac-10 race is controlled by 11th-ranked Oregon but that could change if the Ducks trip up against Arizona on Saturday. The Ducks lead the conference at 6-1 and can go to the Rose Bowl with a win over Arizona and in their finale against Oregon State. If Arizona can win though, the race becomes wide open.

Arizona, Stanford and Oregon State still have a shot at making the Rose Bowl but only if the Ducks slip up. “We know we’ve got to win to stay in the big picture,” Arizona coach Mike Stoops said. “There’s a lot of football to be played, but pretty much it’ll be over if we don’t win on Saturday.”

Oregon has the sixth-best rushing offense in the country led by freshman LaMichael James and quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. James is 10th in the country with 1,193 rushing yards. “LaMichael had a great game (against Arizona State) and showed again why he’s one of the best in the nation. We’re going to ride him as long as we can,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said.

Masoli has run for nine TDs and thrown for 11. The Ducks offense is 9th in the country, averaging 37.1 points per game.

Arizona is going to have to score on Saturday to keep up with Oregon. Quarterback Nick Foles has had a solid season and he will need a big game against the Ducks. The Wildcats are 5-0 at home this season and last year they defeated the Ducks 55-45 at home.
