September 18, 20231 yr Oh, good. More motivation for Coach Prime. 64th? No, that's a bit too low. They did beat TCU on the road.

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.

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.
