I do a stat system involving 5 year recruiting cycles and 4 year on the field results. Both are weighed to account for leaving early, redshirting & etc. On field are weighed with more emphasis toward the current year. To keep it simple I don’t consider coaching or returning starters. This is how the Pac 12 stacks up — and I do not necessarily agree with the stats. Lower is better in my system.

1. USC ………. 3.4
2. Stanford ….. 11.0
3. UCLA ……… 11.9
4. Oregon ……. 12.6
5. Washington … 14.4
6. Arizona St … 17.6
7. Utah ……… 23.9
8. Wash St …… 25.9
9. Arizona …… 27.3
10. California … 28.2
11. Oregon St …. 34.1
12. Colorado ….. 34.3

I use this as a point spread and do not try to figure in home field advantage. I like stats and compare mine with SBNation and Phil Steele. I beat them both 9 (IN FINISH ORDER) last year and also in 2015.

Making so much noise so the visiting team can’t hear the signal is fair? Just one example. However many unfair things we could think of does not excuse breaking the “code”. Heck, even in war there are rules. But yes, fascinating to me as well.

Do you ever wonder if the HOME teams has a headphone that eavesdrops on the Visiting teams headphones? I do.

I think too much emphasis is put on winning the conference. I remember when Georgia won the SEC with a 6-4 record. Georgia was the SEC rep in the Sugar Bowl. I think the conference crown should be used when two team are really close and one is a Champion. Anyway, I think a two loss PAC 12 champion Utah has a good shot at the CFP.

I watched the game from the deep south. It was a good one and I won a meal. I think I’ll have rib eye.

No question beating one of the Pac 12 brand names will give a boost to momentum. I think a win here opens up several big bowls.

Great win over USC. Moving on up!

I can’t speak for Pac 12 teams but as an SEC fan I think Utah is respected but not as much as the traditional winning programs in the Pac 12. That respect will come with the winning seasons. A couple more like last year and you will be there, I am sure.
