I think it’s funny how the preseason narrative around the pac12 shifted by playoff time. It went from DEEPEST CONFERENCE OTHER THAN SEC HARD SCHEDULE to LOL WEAK YOU PLAYED NOBODY. I know
@Brick did this. Early in the season it was no way Oregon was going to beat Wazzu, Utah, Washington, usc, Oregon state. At the end of the season it was WHO DID THEY EVEN PLAY?
A lot of this is some of the teams didn’t live up to expectations (usc) or got hurt (Utah) but a good chunk of it was just 9 conference games leading to more losses and the media narrative imo.
