College Football Post-Week 9 Award Watch

Productive October may give Giovani Bernard a shot at postseason hardware

The Heisman Trophy isn’t the only award worth watching on a weekly basis. The Lombardi, Outland, Davey O’Brien and Biletnikoff races are all worth watching and debating as the season goes along.

Throughout the season, we’ll keep an eye on all the prominent position trophies through college football in addition to the Heisman.

Pac-12 Week 10 Preview and Predictions

Athlon previews the coming week of gridiron action in the Pac-12 Conference.

It's here! November 3 has been a day circled by many West coast football fans since the season ended last January. And had Arizona not gone and screwed everything up, this Oregon-USC showdown would still carry national title implications for both teams. Instead, there's a national title hanging in the balance for just one team. The Oregon Ducks. All eyes will be focused on The Coliseum, but Pac-12 fans have a full holiday menu this Saturday. There will be plenty of tricks and treats for some (Utah? Washington? Oregon State?) and freakish ghouls for others (Cal? Arizona State?

Pac-12 Post-Week 9 Power Rankings

Athlon recaps all of this weekend's action in the Pac-12.

And then there was one. Most didn't believe Oregon State or USC could make it to the BCS National Championship game, however, they both just kept winning. No more. After tough road losses this weekend, the Oregon Ducks are flying above the rest of the Pac-12 as the lone remaining national title contender. The depth of the league was once again on full display as programs like Arizona, UCLA and Washington prove that the middle of this league is as strong as any league in the nation.

Pac-12 Week 9 Preview and Predictions

Athlon previews the coming week of gridiron action in the Pac-12 Conference.

Two unbeatens still remain out West and one will face a major road test this weekend. But a former Pac-12 Player of the Year candidate will return to help the Beavers attempt to stay unblemished against Washington. The Ducks-Buffaloes showdown, however, shouldn't be nearly as competitive.

Pac-12 Post-Week 8 Power Rankings

Athlon recaps all of this weekend's action in the Pac-12.

This fall is becoming one of the most entertaining seasons of football in the Pac-12 in years. Three top ten teams, two unbeatens, a dozen Player of the Year candidates, one National Coach of the Year front-runner and arguably the biggest game left in college football about to kickoff in two weeks. This league is stacked with great coaches, great quarterbacks and great athletes. And most importantly, a lot of really good football teams.

Streaker Runs Onto Field During Stanford-California Game

2012 has been a rough season for California and it only got worse with a 21-3 loss to rival Stanford. The Golden Bears are 3-5, and coach Jeff Tedford is squarely on the hot seat after the team's disappointing performance. 

While the action on the field was dull, a streaker ran onto the field during halftime. The streaker was chased off the field by one of the California players and was quickly caught by security after he reached midfield.
