Washington State has the first of two bye weeks this weekend so Cougar news will be a little light this week. There's no Monday press conference and the team won't practice until Wednesday, so naturally there won't be any practice reports to pass along for a couple days.

We'll still have our picks and power rankings, of course, and our live chat on Wednesday.

Links are after the jump.
