The final matchup between Cal and OSU devolves into a chaotic pillowfight

Before we get to this week’s PFF grades and determining which bucket Saturday’s game falls into, a quick word on last week’s results. I mentioned that the ASU defensive grades looked suspiciously high, as it was the highest-graded game of the Wilcox Era. PFF has since made some notable adjustments to that game’s grades.
