So I got to give some major props to the Pac12.
Over the last 3 seasons they are not doing great in bowl games of OOC games, multiple head coaches fired. . . it is a dumpster fire.

vs FCS 16-2
vs G5 22-9
vs P5 8 -26

Compared to other P5 conferences, they have struggled more and have a worse record in each category. As a conference they have not won a bowl game since 2019 either. But the Pac12 has 6 teams ranked. . . Probably has something to do with USC not playing Washington/Oregon and other ranked matchups not being on the schedule. That and they played a fewer OOC P5 teams this year compared to last year, so they have better records with fewer quality teams.

They are probably better this year too as they had less COVID stuff to deal with.
