Well, This will be short and sweet... We finally have some answers... Not of who's #1, but who's number 10!

Don't look now, we are starting to get a picture of how things will pan out. With this week's rankings, I will be listing whether or not the team will be going to a bowl, in my opinion. So when you comments, please feel free to call me an idiot, or whatever else you feel compelled to comment on.

1. Southern Cal (9-1)

No game last week, but still, USC is looking strong. Depending on how next week goes, I might have to drop them down, but if so, it would be more of a result of another teams performance rather than theirs. Bowl Projection? A BCS Bowl

2. Oregon State (8-3)

Huge test for OSU. They didn't always look pretty, but then again, they were playing with their backup QB and without the most exciting RB in the Pac 10. One more win and they can shock a lot of people. Bowl projection? Rose Bowl

3. Oregon (8-3)

Oregon has a huge opportunity to not not only put USC in the Rose Bowl and stick it to their rival, but if Oregon wins, they're on their way to the Holiday Bowl. Will it happen? Not in my opinion. Bowl projection? Sun Bowl

4. California (8-4)

Cal, with a win in two weeks (which of course, is a lock) coupled with an Oregon State victory over Oregon, would line Cal up for the second place bowl bid, despite finish in third place (thanks to USC, assuming they get a BCS bowl bid). Bowl projection? Holiday Bowl

5. Arizona (6-5)

Despite the tough loss at home against OSU, Arizona continues to impress with their tenacity and tough play. with six wins, they look to be bowl bowl, and with seven, after they beat ASU, they should be a lock. Bowl Projection? Alamo Bowl

6. Arizona State (4-6)

ASU didn't play last week, but give how Stanford looked, I thought it might be worth giving ASU an opportunity to possibly creep into the top half of the Pac 10 Power rankings. It will all depend on how Rudy Carpenter and company can play against UCLA and Arizona in the finale. Bowl Projection? No Bowl, probably won't be eligible.

7. Stanford (5-7)

Poor Stanford. Just a few weeks ago, they were sitting near the top of the power Rankings with a 5-4 record. They looked to be a lock for a bowl bid, and their arrogant coach certainly told everyone that they would be bowling this season. Three losses to close the season later? Not so much. Not eligible for a bowl.

8. UCLA (4-6)

UCLA has had more hard luck than any team I can remember, aside from this year's Washington State team. To lose two very good quarterbacks before the season, along with your entire offense line? It's amazing that these guys can be bowl eligible if they win out... of course, with a date against USC, that isn't going to happen, but Neuheisel can coach and he certainly can bring in the right people for the job. Bowl projection? No bowl, probably won't be eligible.

9. Washington State (2-10)

What can I say... Washington State can finally start up that "We're #9, We're #9..." chant they've been wanting to do for weeks. Bowl? Not eligible.

10. Washington (0-11)

...and as for UW? I guess they can't. These guys have the distinction of being among the worse College football teams in NCAA history. Ty Willingham, take a bow. You said you would take the Dawgs to another level. You certainly did that. I wish you the best of luck in your next career as an etiquette teacher. Bowl? yeah, right.
