Fraudulent Prediction Index. Here is another ESPN guy, Bill Connolly, ranking the Pac-12 undefeated teams out of the 39 undefeated going into Week 4. 1. Washington - SOS 74 vs. Cal 4. USC - SOS 124 at ASU 11. OREGON - SOS 78 vs. CU 14. Utah - SOS 38 vs. UCLA 15. UCLA - SOS 102 at Utah 16. Oregon State - SOS 97 at Wazzu 24. Washington State - SOS 67 vs. OR. ST. 26. CU - SOS 55 at OREGON. If you are going to rank undefeated teams, why in the heck not rank by SOS? This is a beef I've long had with the Playoff Committee rankings where it's SOS every committee member for themselves. Adjusted for SOS - 1. Utah - 38 2. CU - 55 3. Washington State - 67 4. UW - 74 5. OREGON - 78 6. Oregon State - 97 7. UCLA - 102 8. USC - 124 There will be at least 3 fewer undefeated teams in the Pac-12 after this Saturday. In its next 5 games, Oregon plays 4 currently undefeated teams. Heck of a gauntlet when you have 8 undefeated teams and the conference plays 9 conference games. But in the final season of the Final 4, all that will matter is Ws and Ls, and SOS be darned. Edited September 18, 2023 by Jon Joseph 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is TCU good this year? Nebraska isn't good that's for sure. Colorado State... they're mountain west so competing with a P5 team is plenty good for a G5 team.
