In total, Oregon State will face seven teams currently ranked in the Top 30. Including an extremely tough stretch where they face six of those teams in the last seven weeks of the season. That seven week stretch has Oregon State playing: Utah, at Washington, Washington State, at Stanford, at UCLA, Arizona and Oregon.
Hopefully, Oregon State can get off to a strong start and then stay competitive during the last half of the season.
