I was going to start a thread titled "Why did everyone love the Pacific 12?" because Stanford, Calfiornia, UCLA, USC, ASU, and Oregon were all called good teams early in the season. That is half of the conference. USC does not have a head coach and Oregon dropped from the top five to unranked. I am not hearing anything about UCLA or ASU anymore. People seem to still like Stanford but now we know their opponents were overrated. Not even Utah can't avoid a blowout loss.

 

Of course Utah can't be ruled out yet. No SEC or ACC teams are undefeated either. We all learned last year without a conference championship game, Baylor and TCU need to go undefeated to get in the playoffs. So UT is still likely to get in.
