PAC-10 To Get Tested This Weekend

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Other than a handful of games, the Pac-10 had a fairly easy run through the first two weeks of the season.

That changes in a hurry this weekend.

With four games against ranked opponents and nine against teams from BCS conferences, the Pac-10 is facing a how-we-stack-up weekend.

The marquee game this weekend will be between two Top 25 teams: No. 9 Iowa at No. 24 Arizona.

The weekend also features No. 8 Nebraska at Washington, Arizona State at No. 11 Wisconsin and 23rd-ranked Houston at 0-2 UCLA. No. 18 USC also faces a tough road game against Minnesota and Louisville is at No. 25 Oregon State.

The only pushover game? Fifth-ranked Oregon against Portland State.
