The following day, Sat., Nov. 30, USC and Notre Dame (ABC) hook up in Los Angeles for that most classic of all intersectionals. And the regular season comes to a close in dramatic fashion at the Rose Bowl on Sat., Dec. 7, as WASHINGTON STATE pays a visit to UCLA with a berth in the Rose Bowl Game Jan. 1 on the line (ABC).

REMAINING PAC-10 Date/ TELEVISION COVERAGE: Time Game TV Fri., Nov :00 PST/1:00 MST Arizona State at Arizona Fox Sports Net (national) Sat., Nov. 30 5:00 PST/6:00 MST Notre Dame at USC ABC (national) Sat., Dec. 7 1:30 PST/2:30 MST Washington State at UCLA ABC (national) THE RACE: The Pac-10 representative to the Rose Bowl will not be determined until Sat., Dec. 7, when Washington State heads to Pasadena to play UCLA in a game the Cougars hope will be a dress rehearsal for Jan. 1. A win for Washington State would give the Cougs a tie and Pac-10 cochampionship with USC, with WSU getting the Rose Bowl berth by virtue of an overtime win against the Trojans earlier this year. USC will be in the unfamiliar position of rooting for UCLA, as a Washington State loss to the Bruins would give the Trojans the Pac-10 title outright and a berth in the Rose Bowl.
