Usually as the season goes on, questions get answered about each team and the pieces of the puzzle start to fall into space. This year, every week all I have is more questions:

• I still don’t get how this terrible UCLA team beat Texas. Is Texas really THAT bad?
• ASU stinks, how did they go toe to toe with Oregon for 3 1/2 quarters?
• If Cal’s defense is as good as it has shown every other week, why was this mediocre USC able to expose it so badly?
• OSU goes down to Tucson and beats Arizona but gets handled early by UW… Is Oregon State any good?
• Speaking of Washington, what’s their story? (OK, this one I think I know the answer to)

And each week it doesn’t get any better. This week, Stanford let WSU hang around, while the supposedly weaker than I thought Arizona laid the wood to Washington. UCLA continues to look like garbage (so I guess either Texas is worse than anyone could possibly imagine or that game was some sort of an anomaly). Finally, ASU put up surprisingly little fight against our beloved Bears.

Maybe next week the puzzle will look more complete.
