2026 Pac-12 Week 6 Game Previews: Game Time, TV Schedule, Odds, Predictions

The Pac-12’s Week 6 slate kicks off with a Friday night clash between Washington State and Utah State, both teams desperate for their first conference win after starting 1-4. The Cougars, led by quarterback Caden Pinnick, have struggled offensively, ranking dead last in the Pac-12 with just 287 yards per game and scoring 10 points or fewer in three contests.

Kirby Moore, now handling play-calling after a disappointing start, faces the challenge of reviving an offense that has been sacked 18 times this season—including 11 in the last two games alone. Meanwhile, Utah State’s Aggies have thrived despite a brutal schedule, playing three road games against Top 25 opponents and still finding offensive firepower.

Wide receiver Eli Wood leads the conference with 30 receptions, and running back Javen Jacobs broke out with 139 rushing yards against Boise State. The rematch of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl adds stakes, as Utah State looks to avenge a 34-21 loss to Washington State last year.

On Saturday, Oregon State (3-2) hosts San Diego State (2-3) in a matchup of contrasting styles. The Beavers, riding a three-game winning streak, dominated Colorado State 56-26, piling up 650 yards in a game so lopsided that the Rams fired defensive coordinator Kenny McClendon midway through.

Meanwhile, San Diego State pulled off an unlikely 31-29 win over Texas State despite being outgained 565-239. With Oregon State favored by 14.5 points, the question remains whether the Aztecs’ gritty performance can translate into a road upset against a high-scoring offense.
