Oregon State football has won FIVE straight games, but can the Beavers keep rolling against Fresno State and eventually enter the College Football Playoff conversation? JaMarcus Shephard has strong opinions about playoff expansion, and Oregon State basketball could be a Pac-12 dark horse!

On Locked On Pac-12, Beaver Blitz senior sportswriter Ryan Harlan joins the show to break down Oregon State's football resurgence, the Halloween showdown with Fresno State and the Beavers' basketball outlook.

OREGON STATE VS. FRESNO STATE

After opening the season 0-2, Oregon State has surged to 5-2 behind an explosive offense featuring Braden Atkinson and Jesse LeGree.

The Beavers return from their bye week facing a Fresno State team that has historically been difficult to beat on the road.

Can Fresno State contain LeGree, or will Oregon State's offensive weapons overwhelm the Bulldogs?

We examine Jayden Mandel, Fresno State's rushing attack, Oregon State's defensive adjustments and the importance of a fast start.

JAMARCUS SHEPHARD CHALLENGES THE PLAYOFF SYSTEM

Shephard believes college football's postseason should provide meaningful opportunities beyond the SEC and Big Ten.

Could an expanded College Football Playoff protect conference champions and give programs like Oregon State a legitimate path to compete for a national championship?

We debate playoff access, conference championship games and whether the Pac-12 deserves greater consideration.

OREGON STATE BASKETBALL: PAC-12 DARK HORSE?

Justin Joyner begins his first season with an intriguing roster led by Josiah Lake and Daniel Freitag.

Following competitive exhibition performances against Michigan and California, the Beavers enter the season ranked fifth in the Pac-12 preseason media poll.

Could their talented backcourt make Oregon State a surprise contender or even a conference tournament bid stealer?

Plus, we preview Monday's opener against Weber State.

Can Oregon State keep its football winning streak alive and surprise the Pac-12 in basketball?

Colorado State football is showing signs of life under Jim Mora, and quarterback Hauss Hejny is leading the charge! After the Rams exploded for 56 points against San Diego State, is CSU finally turning the corner in the Pac-12?

Justin Michael of the DNVR Rams Podcast joins Locked On Pac-12 to break down Colorado State's offensive resurgence, the defensive problems threatening its season, the road to bowl eligibility and why Rams basketball could be a serious NCAA Tournament sleeper.

HAUSS HEJNY HAS TRANSFORMED COLORADO STATE!

The Rams snapped a four-game losing streak with an explosive offensive performance against San Diego State, and Hejny's return has completely changed what Colorado State can accomplish offensively.

But the defense remains a major problem.

Jim Mora's first season has featured significant defensive struggles, including the Tyson Summers situation and a unit that continues to surrender massive yardage and points.

Can CSU's offense keep scoring enough to overcome its defensive deficiencies?

COLORADO STATE'S PATH TO A BOWL GAME

At 3-4, the Rams still have an opportunity to reach bowl eligibility, but their remaining schedule presents challenges.

Colorado State travels to Utah State before facing Boise State, Washington State and Fresno State.

Justin explains why Utah State could be the most important remaining matchup and how the Pac-12's unique flex scheduling could impact CSU's postseason chances.

We also discuss whether Colorado State has the facilities, financial investment and fan support to become the sleeping giant of the new Pac-12.

COLORADO STATE BASKETBALL COULD BE SPECIAL!

The Rams enter the 2026-27 basketball season with significant roster continuity and an opportunity to surprise the conference.

Under Ali Farokhmanesh, Colorado State returns important contributors including Jace Butler, Kory Booth and Kyle Jorgensen.

Justin explains why the Rams' combination of experience, development and offensive versatility could make them a dangerous opponent.

Could Colorado State challenge Gonzaga, Utah State, San Diego State and Oregon State?

Does this roster have legitimate Cinderella potential in the NCAA Tournament?

And could Pac-12 basketball ultimately become the conference's strongest national selling point?

Gonzaga basketball, Utah State's impressive exhibition performances and San Diego State's growing depth concerns headline a major Pac-12 basketball discussion as the 2026-27 college basketball season approaches.

Locked On Pac-12 and Locked On Zags join forces for a college basketball crossover covering the biggest exhibition results, early conference contenders and potential Pac-12 expansion candidates.

Gonzaga fell 76-72 to Arkansas despite building a double-digit lead, with three-point shooting struggles and an 18-0 Arkansas run raising concerns for Mark Few's Bulldogs.

The Zags played without Davis Fogle, whose lower-leg injury has created questions about his availability ahead of upcoming matchups with Lewis-Clark State and Purdue. Meanwhile, Braden Huff, Xavion Lee, Isan Almanza and Isaiah Harwell provided encouraging performances.

Utah State may be the biggest winner of exhibition season after impressive victories over Saint Mary's and Santa Clara. Mason Falslev scored 25 points against the Broncos, while Dallin Hall and Connor Turnbull helped demonstrate the Aggies' impressive offensive depth.

San Diego State, meanwhile, suffered exhibition losses to Arizona and USC. Brian Dutcher's starting lineup has shown promise, but the Aztecs' inexperienced bench remains a significant question.

We also examine Washington State's exhibition victory over Washington, Oregon State's win over California, Fresno State's disappointing loss to Cal State Fullerton and Colorado State's struggles against San Diego.

Then it's time for the Pac-12 mailbag!

Can Gonzaga finally snap its eight-game losing streak against Purdue? Could a football-only agreement with UConn include basketball scheduling commitments? And should the Pac-12 consider adding New Mexico as conference expansion discussions continue?

From NCAA Tournament expectations to conference realignment, there's plenty to discuss before the new college basketball season begins.

Fresno State football is facing a critical turning point in its 2026 season! After losing back-to-back rivalry games against Boise State and San Diego State, can Matt Entz and the Bulldogs use their bye week to save their Pac-12 championship hopes?

Al Scott of Fresno Sports Magazine joins Locked On Pac-12 to break down Fresno State's 4-3 start, the growing frustration surrounding its offense, Jayden Mandal's future at quarterback, and what needs to change before a massive Halloween matchup against Oregon State.

The Bulldogs have been outscored 42-16 in the first quarter this season, including just three combined first-quarter points outside their game against Boise State.

Yet Fresno State has outscored opponents 159-88 over the final three quarters.

Why does this team consistently wait so long to get its offense moving?

We discuss whether offensive coordinator Josh Davis needs to make significant adjustments, why Mandal's ball security makes a quarterback change unlikely, and whether Matt Entz should face any pressure if the season continues slipping away.

Looking ahead, Oregon State presents a massive challenge with quarterback Braden Atkinson and receiver Jesse LeGree leading one of the Pac-12's most dangerous passing attacks.

Can Fresno State's defense contain them?

We also examine the Bulldogs' remaining schedule, the importance of getting Rayshon Luke healthy, and why nine wins could still represent a successful season.

Plus, we shift to Fresno State men's basketball following Pac-12 Media Day.

With an entirely rebuilt roster, head coach Vance Walberg faces major questions about chemistry, roster retention and whether newcomers like KJ Perry, Roger Fabrega Urbina and Quentin Rhymes can help the Bulldogs compete.

Can Fresno State turn things around in football and basketball?

Oregon State football enters its bye week at 5-2, and the Beavers suddenly have a legitimate path toward the Pac-12 Championship and potentially the College Football Playoff. Could JaMarcus Shephard lead Oregon State to a historic season in his first year?

On today's Locked On Pac-12, Ryan Harlan of Beaver Blitz joins us to break down Oregon State's incredible turnaround, its remaining football schedule and the growing excitement surrounding Justin Joyner's men's basketball program.

The Beavers have exceeded expectations with one of the most explosive offenses in college football.

Quarterback Braden Atkinson has thrown for 2,600 yards and 24 touchdowns with just two interceptions, while freshman sensation Jesse LeGree has already surpassed 1,000 receiving yards with 14 touchdowns.

But Oregon State's success goes beyond its passing attack.

AJ Newberry has emerged as a dangerous dual-threat running back, while Mike MacIntyre's defense continues improving and making critical plays.

We discuss why Oregon State could be one of the most complete teams in the Pac-12 and whether the Beavers can challenge Boise State for the conference championship.

With games remaining against Fresno State, Texas State, Utah State and Boise State, could Oregon State finish 10-2?

And would a Pac-12 Championship give the Beavers a stronger College Football Playoff résumé than James Madison or New Mexico?

Then we shift to Oregon State basketball following Justin Joyner's first media day in Corvallis.

The Beavers impressed against Michigan in their exhibition opener, and expectations are growing for a roster featuring DeShawn Gory, Legend Smiley, Josiah Lake II and Daniel Freitag.

We examine whether Gory can become Oregon State's most reliable scorer, why Freitag could be the team's ultimate glue guy and what questions remain about the Beavers' frontcourt.

Football is winning. Basketball is generating excitement. Could this be the beginning of a new era for Oregon State athletics?

Gonzaga basketball receives massive eligibility news as Xayvion Lee is cleared to play, giving Mark Few and the Bulldogs a major boost ahead of their exhibition showdown with Arkansas. Meanwhile, seven Pac-12 men's basketball teams are preparing for important preseason tests.

On today's Locked On Pac-12 and Locked On Zags crossover, Andy Patton joins us to break down Gonzaga's latest eligibility developments and preview a loaded weekend of Pac-12 basketball exhibitions.

Xayvion Lee's eligibility situation has taken a positive turn following a California court ruling, providing Gonzaga with much-needed stability in its backcourt.

With Javon Bennett and Nathan De Sousa also eligible, the Bulldogs suddenly have significant point guard depth. But questions remain surrounding Chauncey Wiggins and Izan Almanza.

We discuss what Lee's availability means for Gonzaga's starting lineup, how he fits alongside Isiah Harwell and Davis Fogle, and whether Braden Huff and Mouhamed Diop can establish themselves as one of college basketball's most dangerous frontcourts.

Then we preview seven Pac-12 exhibition matchups:

San Diego State vs. USC: Can the Aztecs improve their rebounding and bench production after facing Arizona?

Utah State vs. Santa Clara: Will Mason Falslev return, and can Kingston Tosi build on his impressive performance against Saint Mary's?

Oregon State vs. California: Can DeShawn Gory, Legend Smiley and the Beavers build on their impressive showing against Michigan?

Fresno State vs. Cal State Fullerton: Which newcomers will emerge for the Bulldogs?

Gonzaga vs. Arkansas: How will the Bulldogs perform against a nationally ranked SEC opponent?

Colorado State vs. San Diego: Can the Rams' returning roster become a surprise contender under Ali Farokhmanesh?

Washington State vs. Washington: Can the Cougars bounce back from their disappointing exhibition against New Mexico?

We examine the biggest players, roster questions, potential breakout stars and warning signs across the conference.

Which Pac-12 team has the most to prove this weekend?

Oregon State football is being overlooked in the Group of Six rankings, but could the Beavers have a stronger College Football Playoff argument than undefeated James Madison? Boise State remains the team to beat, but the race for a CFP spot is getting interesting.

On today's Locked On Pac-12 bonus episode, Colton Pool of The Pool Report joins the conversation to defend his latest Group of Six Top 25 rankings and debate whether Oregon State deserves significantly more respect.

The composite rankings have Boise State at No. 1, followed by James Madison, New Mexico, UTSA and Oregon State.

But should the Beavers really be ranked behind those teams?

Oregon State has one of the most explosive passing offenses in college football, an improving defense and a dominant victory over San Diego State.

Meanwhile, undefeated James Madison has built an impressive résumé despite questions about its strength of schedule.

We debate whether Oregon State's tougher competition should outweigh its losses and what a potential victory over Boise State could mean for the Beavers' playoff aspirations.

We also discuss why Boise State remains the Group of Six favorite, New Mexico's outstanding defense and where Texas State and Fresno State belong in the national conversation.

Then we look beyond the Pac-12 at three critical games that could reshape the CFP race.

James Madison travels to Appalachian State for a dangerous Sun Belt matchup. UTSA faces Tulane with its American Conference championship hopes on the line. And New Mexico hosts North Dakota State in a showdown featuring two of college football's strongest defenses.

Could an undefeated James Madison team miss out on a playoff opportunity in favor of a two-loss Oregon State team?

And which Group of Six program has the strongest College Football Playoff résumé?

Boise State looks like the team to beat in the Pac-12, Texas State is becoming a dangerous contender, and Colorado State's defense is falling apart! With another massive weekend of Pac-12 football approaching, which teams will make a statement?

On today's Locked On Pac-12, we're joined by Colton Pool of The Pool Report for our weekly Pac-12 3-Pack, breaking down Boise State vs. Washington State, San Diego State vs. Colorado State, and Utah State vs. Texas State.

We start with Boise State traveling to Pullman for the emerging Snake River rivalry against Washington State.

The Broncos have established themselves as one of the nation's best teams at controlling time of possession, while Dylan Riley and Boise State's rushing attack continue creating problems for opposing defenses.

Washington State has shown offensive improvement with Owen Eshelman at quarterback, but can Kirby Moore's Cougars find a way to pull off a massive upset?

Next, San Diego State travels to Fort Collins to face a Colorado State team desperately searching for answers.

The Rams are allowing 530 yards per game, ranking last nationally in total defense, after surrendering 503 rushing yards against Texas State.

Can Lucky Sutton and the Aztecs take advantage?

We also discuss San Diego State's quarterback uncertainty involving Jayden Denegal and Stone Saunders, along with the potential return of Colorado State quarterback Haase Haney.

Finally, Texas State hosts Utah State in a fascinating matchup between one of the Pac-12's most explosive offenses and one of its stronger defenses.

Brad Jackson and the Bobcats are coming off a dominant victory over Colorado State, while Bronco Mendenhall has named Grady Brosterhous Utah State's starting quarterback.

Can the Aggies slow down Texas State's rushing attack, or will G.J. Kinne's offense continue rolling?

We deliver predictions, potential upsets, quarterback storylines and the biggest matchups across the conference.

Which Pac-12 team is most likely to pull off an upset this weekend?
