January 30, 20214 yr Really surprised USC is not on the list. I also note that, at one time Stanford was hot. Also note that the Pac-12 was holding it's own at some time in the past. Hard pressed to see any Pac teams on the list over recent wins.

January 30, 20214 yr You also have to beat those one would expect a ranked team to have no problem with. This is an area where Cristobal needs to tighten up the game prep. You can't expect every team to lay down in the end zone before the game even gets going. Oregon needs to become the team you don't ever want to face. The good news is there seems to be a few players who are going to make facing Oregon a undesirable experience, going forward.
January 30, 20214 yr The decline of the pac-12 really started after 2016... So it is a really recent affair on the whole. Basically it lines up with Washington's rise to power and Oregon and Stanford's fall from power. I'm tempted to look more into this with an article at some point this off season.
