Oregon State Beavers

The Oregon State women's basketball team is undefeated to start the season. Wayne Tinkle's men's team gave Oregon a strong challenge, but fell a bit short despite their own strong start to the new campaign.

The other big story in the Pac-12 this week is the league's new media rights partnership with USA Sports. Your host Matt Bagley gives his thoughts on the current state of the Pac-12's media deals as the league's first real season looms.

All that, plus five college football games to take in during the week of November 22. Go Beavs.
