USC (7-5, 3-0) at No. 6 Stanford (11-1, 3-0), 2 p.m.--The Trojans and Cardinal are the only unbeaten teams in Pacific 10 play. USC has won four in a row and five of the last six. Stanford’s only defeat was against second-ranked Tennessee two weeks ago. The Trojans don’t have the talent of Tennessee, but they match up with the Cardinal as well as any other Pac-10 team does.

UCLA (3-8, 0-3) at California (4-6, 0-3), 2 p.m., KACD (850), KEWS (1340)--One of these teams will end its losing streak and win a conference game today. The Bruin skid reached seven after Friday’s loss to Stanford. UCLA is 0-14 in road games since beating Washington on March 11, 2000. After starting 4-0, the Bears have lost six in a row, including Friday’s loss to USC.
