PAC12 knows they can't keep the other P5s out, they're better and will take their spots, but if they can squeeze out those who don't belong in their eyes they will. I know the PAC12 isn't making the selections, but they do try to sway them in their favor.
Do you think any of the P5s want UCF, BSU, BYU, etc to take spots in the bigger bowls? Hahaha no
