The Pac-12 dodges two bullets on Sunday as their rough season continues, though it could have been worse.

Plus the road is the great equalizer for one powerhouse program, a couple of mid-major races remain hotly contested, and a tie is broken in the Patriot League for now.
Someone in Iowa City has quite the clutch gene, and he buried Indiana on Friday night the way he buried another team not long ago. Plus a bit of clarity emerges in one league race, very little in another, and suspensions are in the news that don’t just include a player.
