A Washington Superior Court judge ruled in favor of Oregon State and Washington State, granting a restraining order that Pac-12 cannot meet as a board until the court rules further. This is good because it protects Oregon State/Washington State and the chance of preserving the Pac-12.

QUARTERBACK What else could Caleb Williams have done? Nothing. He is the Heisman frontrunner after three games, which he should be considering the opposition.
