BigDucksFan No. 2 Share Posted January 30, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted January 30, 2021 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 5 Share Posted January 30, 2021 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.

Washington in 2019 had a player lying face down in their end zone for a kick return... Does that count? They were penalized for it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
