And yes Pac did not perform well in previous years. But each year is a new yr. THIS yr they did pretty well against the other P5’s with victories against all the other major conferences head to head. This has already been discussed ad nauseam. And Pac is much stronger than ACC this yr.
As I have said above, given the options of Pac12 champ vs OK vs 1 loss Bama, it is all close. And could swing either way. Committee has said as much. Whatever happens I am good with it. Utah did lose to USC. That they are still in the discussion is a HUGE bonus, it has been a GREAT season so far and so much fun to be a Utah fan.
