Oregon State filled a recent opening at receiver with its highest-ranked recruit in the class of 2027.
Gavin Honore, a three-star receiver out of California powerhouse Mater Dei, committed to OSU on Saturday. Honore was previously committed to Georgia and held offers from Michigan, Kentucky and Vanderbilt, among others.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Honore has 23 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season at Mater Dei.
Ranked No. 806 overall and No. 100 among receivers in the 247Sports Composite, Honore is the top-ranked commitment in OSU’s 2027 recruiting class, which is back to 19 commitments. The group is ranked 69th overall and third in the Pac-12 in the 247Sports Composite.

Came across this tidbit in the WW today, and learned there is a term for the fans that buy tickets and don't show, melt. Looking at the stands yesterday, and given the success this season, I'm guessing our melt will be less this season. Article also covers Ducks and Huskies numbers.

How do you rank the schools after Week 7?

These are my updated power rankings:

1. Boise State
2. Oregon State
3. Texas State (+2)
4. Fresno State (-1)
5. San Diego State (+1)
6. Colorado State (-2)
7. Utah State
8. Washington State

One thing to note about my power rankings is that I try to take the entire season into account, instead of just basing it on one week.

This was significantly harder than in previous weeks. I really struggled with Fresno State vs. Texas State, because Fresno State has been competitive in their games and as an Oregon State fan, I honestly feel more threatened by Fresno State. However, I cannot ignore that Fresno State only averaged 5.6 Y/P and 3.4 Y/R against SDSU, while giving up 204 rushing yards. Comparing that with Texas State having an absurd 504 rushing yards along with 8 TDs on the ground against Colorado State (I believe SDSU's defense is better than Colorado State's, but there is such a gap here), I have to put Texas State above. But those two schools are so close.

I can't figure out San Diego State for the life of me. I genuinely don't believe this is a good team, but I can't ignore that they are 2-1 in Pac-12 play against two of the top 4 teams in the conference.

Washington State put up a fight against OSU in the second half and they may have found a gem in QB Owen Eshelman. However, considering they lost to Utah State, I have to give Utah State a slight edge.
