The conferences Northwest power also heads to the Midwest for a rare game against Nebraska.Heres what to look for in the Pac-12 this week:---GAME OF THE WEEK: Southern California at No. 7 Stanford.

The Cardinal have won six of eight in the series, including a 41-31 victory in the Pac-12 title game. The key for USC to end Stanfords run in the series will be stopping Christian McCaffrey.
