    Liufau, No. 16 Colorado roll over Arizona 49-24

    Sefo Liufau has his groove back, and so does Colorado's offense.

    It came at just the right time for the Buffaloes with a season-defining stretch up next.

    Liufau passed for three touchdowns and ran for another, helping No. 16 Colorado roll over Arizona 49-24 on Saturday night for the Buffaloes' first four-game winning streak in 14 years.

    Cracraft leads No. 23 Washington State over California 56-21

    Washington State is 7-0 in conference play for the first time in its history. That isn't enough for receiver Gabe Marks.

    "Now we want to be 8-0. That would be cool," Marks said.

    The surging Cougars, ranked 23rd in the nation, took control of the Pac-12 North by winning their eighth consecutive game on Saturday.

    Luke Falk threw five touchdown passes, including three to River Cracraft, helping Washington State beat California 56-21.

    No. 6 Washington rolls past Arizona State, 44-18

    - In the final home game of his Washington career, Kevin Kinggave the Huskies the jolt they needed.

    The cornerback's one-handed interception was so good, even the officials were asking where it ranked.

    "The ref asked me that where that ranked. In my mind it's like (No.) 5 or 6, but in reality it's No. 1 for sure," King said.

    King's second-quarter interception awakened the slumbering Huskies, and quarterback Jake Browning went on to throw for 338 yards and two touchdowns and No. 6 Washington routed Arizona State 44-18 on Saturday night to stay in the College Football Playoff mix.

    Liufau scores 3 TDs, No. 10 Colorado beats No. 22 Wash State

    For all of Sefo Liufau's tough runs , this one may be the most impressive: His sprint from the locker room back to the field.

    A hip pointer wasn't going to sideline him in the fourth quarter. Especially not in a game of this magnitude.

    Liufau threw for 345 yards, rushed for 108 more and scored three touchdowns as No. 10 Colorado beat No. 22 Washington State 38-24 on Saturday in a matchup of unlikely Pac-12 division leaders.

    No. 13 USC rolls over rival UCLA 36-14 for 7th straight win

    Southern California and UCLA have been on divergent trajectories for nearly two months, so nobody in the chilly Rose Bowl crowd was terribly surprised when the Trojans charged right on through their faltering rivals Saturday night.

    That didn't make the blowout victory any less sweet for USC, which coolly maintained its LA dominance for another year with a businesslike bashing of the Bruins.

    Sam Darnold passed for 267 yards and hit De'Quan Hampton for two touchdowns, leading No. 13 USC past UCLA 36-14 in the Los Angeles rivals' 86th crosstown showdown.

    No. 24 Stanford wins 7th straight Big Game, beats Cal 45-31

    Stanford's midseason slump is becoming a distant memory now that Christian McCaffrey is healthy once again and the 24th-ranked Cardinal are finishing the season in typical fashion with another Big Game win.

    McCaffrey's 90-yard touchdown run highlighted a record-setting 284-yard rushing performance that led Stanford to its seventh straight win in the rivalry game, 45-31 over California on Saturday.

    No. 5 Washington tops No. 23 Washington State 45-17

    - Budda Baker was walking to the sideline in the fourth quarter when he was jostled from behind by someone in crimson, who then proceeded to chirp at Washington's standout safety.

    Baker heard what was said, turned, and pointed at the closed end of Martin Stadium.

    "All I had to do was look at the scoreboard," Baker said.

    It told the story of a day of dominance by No. 6 Washington in a 45-17 rout of No. 23 Washington State that put the Huskies into the Pac-12 championship game and on the cusp of a spot in the College Football Playoff.

    No. 9 Colorado beats No. 22 Utah 27-22, wins Pac-12 South

    Colorado's comeback isn't complete just yet. So, consider this party just a prelude.

    "We're one win away! It feels great," senior defensive end Jordan Carrell said as he weaved his way through a sea of Buffs fans who stormed the field following ninth-ranked Colorado's 27-22 win over No. 21 Utah on Saturday night.

    Adoree does it all in No. 12 USC's 45-27 rout of Notre Dame

    By the time Adoree Jackson effortlessly hurdled Notre Dame's kicker and sprinted off to strike a Heisman pose in the end zone, every rain-soaked soul already knew they were seeing the culmination of something special for Southern California.

    Jackson might have punctuated his three-year career at the Coliseum with one last virtuoso display of his talent, although he hasn't decided yet.

    The Trojans unquestionably wrapped up their regular season by with a fitting climax to a two-month crescendo.

    Jackson returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns and caught a scoring pass to propel No. 12 USC to its eighth consecutive victory, 45-27 over Notre Dame on Saturday in the 88th edition of their famed intersectional rivalry.

    McCaffrey, No. 24 Stanford beat Rice 41-17

    Coach David Shaw understands that Stanford junior running back Christian McCaffrey may have played his final home game in Saturday's 41-17 nonconference win over Rice.

    But while fielding a question about how sophomore backup Bryce Love might fare as the starter in 2017, Shaw interrupted and said, "If he wants to leave, that's fine. But let's not push (McCaffrey) out the door."

    McCaffrey rushed for 204 yards and scored two touchdowns as the No. 24 Cardinal (9-3) won their fifth straight game in front of a sparse crowd that braved drizzly weather at Stanford Stadium.

    UCLA QB Josh Rosen at spring practice after surgery

    UCLA's first spring practice brought good news for the Bruins, as quarterback Josh Rosen returned to the practice field for the first time since undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in early November.

    Rosen, who has been working out at full speed for a few weeks, said he doesn't feel any lingering effects from the injury that cost him the Bruins' final six games of the season.

    "I felt really good. It's been awhile since I've played football," he said. "I've been throwing routes throughout the winter during the rehab process, but it's cool to do it full speed with all the guys on the field."

    Can Josh Rosen's play catch up to his voice?

    UCLA's Josh Rosen is the most polarizing player in college football. He's a whiny, entitled kid who should shut up and focus on playing quarterback. He's a brilliant football mind with a shrewd B.S. detector, especially when it comes to big-money NCAA athletics. At one time he appeared on social media in a hot tub inside his dorm, and at another he played golf while wearing a "F--- Trump" hat. He's a teammate who, according to his coaches, speaks out because he wants changes not for himself but for his less fortunate Bruins teammates. He also thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, and has proved it by burning through two offensive coordinators in his first two seasons in Westwood.

    Oh, and he's a potential first-round NFL draft pick. Don't forget that, especially amid the reaction to his comments last week in an interview with Bleacher Report about the incompatibility of being a college student and an athlete at a major college football program.

    Christian who? Love stars in No. 14 Stanford's win over Rice

    Running back Bryce Love didn't take long to prove that he's a very competent replacement for Christian McCaffrey at Stanford.

    Love scored a touchdown and finished with 180 yards rushing to lead the No.14 Cardinal to a 62-7 victory over Rice on Sunday in the Sydney College Football Cup.

    Pettis, Browning lead No. 8 Washington past Rutgers, 30-14

    If No. 8 Washington wants to get back to the college playoffs, the Huskies are going to have to pick it up after a less-than impressive opening victory over Rutgers.

    On the other hand, if the Scarlet Knights continue to play the way they did against the defending Pac-12 champions, they are going to surprise some teams.

    Dante Pettis woke up Washington just before halftime with his sixth career punt return for a touchdown and Jake Browning threw two second-half touchdown passes in a tougher-than-expected 30-14 victory Friday night.
