Welcome to the Week 7 Pac-12 power rankings. You can see last week’s rankings here. If you don’t like where you’re ranked, play better.

1. Washington 6-0, 3-0 (No. 1 last week)

Anyone else wondering how many more times the Huskies watched the Oregon film during the bye week? If I know Chris Petersen, the answer is zero.

2. Utah 6-1, 3-1 (No. 2 last week)

Don’t be too quick to judge Utah’s 19-14 win over Oregon State. There was a lot working against the Utes: On the road, injuries, bad weather and Oregon State coming off an emotional conference win the week before. It was a tougher game with tougher circumstances than it looked at first blush. Nice thing about the ugly ones is they count the same as the pretty ones.

3. Colorado 5-2, 3-1 (No. 4 last week)

Clearly not swayed by Arizona State having the No. 1 statistical rushing defense in the conference, the Buffs not-so-delicately inserted the ball down ASU’s throat to the tune of 315 yards and five touchdowns. Sefo Liufau looked very efficient in his return, Phillip Lindsay (219 yards, three touchdowns) was outstanding, and the defense -- headlined by Jimmie Gilbert -- was punishing. Next up is a trip to Stanford with bowl eligibility within Colorado’s grasp. (But I think we all know this team has grander aspirations.)

4. Washington State 4-2, 3-0 (No. 5 last week)

Field goals? Clock management? Turnovers and top-end special-teams play? Three rushing touchdowns and zero passing touchdowns? I don’t even know you anymore, Cougs. What we do know is WSU has won four straight and is running over Pac-12 defenses. Should make for an interesting showdown next week with the Sun Devils, who were gutted on the ground by Colorado.

5. USC 4-3, 3-2 (No. 6 last week)

The move from Max Browne to Sam Darnold at quarterback was initially seen as panic by Clay Helton. And who’s to say Browne wouldn’t be having similar success against teams that aren’t Alabama or Stanford. But after another big win, Darnold now has 11 touchdowns the last three weeks and he ranks second in the FBS in total QBR behind only Lamar Jackson. After a 1-3 start, 4-3 doesn’t feel so terrible heading into the bye week.

6. Arizona State 5-2, 2-2 (No. 3 last week)

The fact that both of ASU’s losses have come to South teams puts a major damper on their hopes for a division title. But the immediate concern should be the health of quarterback Manny Wilkins and fixing a run defense that entered the week tops in the league, but exits after being gutted and outmuscled at the hands of Colorado. Washington State visits Saturday, and the Cougars have a pretty potent rushing attack.

7. Stanford 4-2, 2-2 (No. 7 last week)

The Cardinal should be feeling good about putting some pieces back together on defense and forcing a pair of turnovers in their 17-10 win over Notre Dame. Bryce Love held his own as the featured back in Christian McCaffrey’s absence, carrying 23 times for 129 yards. Third-down efficiency was better, also. Colorado, however, will likely be a much stiffer test on both sides of the ball.

8. California 3-3, 1-2 (No. 9 last week)

The Bears spent the bye week trying to get healthy. Having quarterback Davis Webb and wide receiver Chad Hansen back for Oregon on Friday would be helpful.

9. UCLA 3-4, 1-3 (No. 8 last week)

Even without Josh Rosen, UCLA was in position to win at Washington State. But as we’ve seen all season, the Bruins can’t get out of their own way. The defense only gave up 356 yards and zero passing touchdowns -- an accomplishment against Washington State. But four turnovers proved costly and, just like in their previous four losses, the Bruins couldn’t find a way to make a play late in the game.

10. Oregon State 2-4, 1-2 (No. 10 last week)

The last two weeks the Beavers have produced some pretty decent football. From the win against Cal to the hard-fought loss to Utah, there should be no question about this team’s effort or desire to improve. Can they produce a similar effort next week on their trip to Seattle?

11. Arizona 2-4, 0-4 (No. 11 last week)

Following a blowout loss to USC, was there ever a team in more need of a bye week? At least it’s not in Week 13 this year.

12. Oregon 2-4, 0-3 (No. 12 last week)

Head coach Mark Helfrich played a lot of defense during the bye week. Can his team do the same Friday night in Berkeley?
