The Pac-12 has to go to an 8 game conference schedule.

I’m of the opinion we won’t make it back to the CFP until we do. Honestly there is a lot of parity in this league, and the press, and the public do not appreciate it at all. Oregon… lost to ASU in 2019, Stanford this year… I kind of think Oregon will win out. I know Verdell is gone, but they’re probably going to use this loss as fuel and come up 11-1.

The Big 10, Pac12, and Big12 all play 9 conference games.  8 ACC teams play Notre Dame in addition to 8 conference games and several others play instate rivalry games against SEC opponents.  Oregon/Stanford is a division game that would be played regardless.  The 8 game argument outside of making room for two additional alliance games won’t help the Pac12’s cause.

 Hmm. I never looked at it that way. Good points. I still think the SEC still has a clear advantage, particularly in scheduling FCS teams late in the season before rivalry games, etc.

They may go 11-1 or they may not be as good as we originally thought.

Without Verdell I am looking at column B.

Would be interesting to see how a couple of SEC football teams would do in the P12.

Sadly, it seems like every team in the nation is playing for #3.  Bama and Georgia seem light years ahead of everyone else.  Lots of games left, but damn, they look unbeatable.

Well, Florida is up there somewhere I think.
