Their season was cancelled until late Sep and they didn’t play until November. And many of the top players opted out, and many hired agents prior to the season being back on. Then Colorado gets to play four games against depleted rosters of an already shitty conference before taking on a top 20 Texas team that played a whole season (minus two) in a bowl game? Come on, bruh. Ok explain 2021. And 2022 so far out of conference vs power 5. It seems Wisconsin is the only team they have success with. I expect FSC #1 powerhouse North Dakota State travel to Arizona this weekend and beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not wrong, but just saying they didn’t win a single bowl game in 2020 is misleading. My explanation is the best west coast players aren’t playing on the west coast in college anymore. It’s that simple I think. I took the over on Arizona win total at two. They’re much improved, though hard not to be after going 1-11. They had a top 25 recruiting class and got some good transfers. Jeff Fisch is doing big things there, but it’s obviously a work in progress. NDSU is no joke, we all know that. They are very experienced… average age of the starting defense is like 26. 15ish seniors starting and the rest are juniors. 13 starters back from a national championship team. Grown men going against mostly underclassmen including a healthy dose of true freshmen in the rotation. I expect Zona to get smacked, too, but they’re definitely capable of winning this one. NDSU would take care of a ton of FBS teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBigBlack Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 The PAC 12 has 4 teams in the top 15 after week 4. Probably the most at this point in a season in ages… or maybe it just seems that way. They aren’t competing for the top conference spot, but the ACC has graciously taken the honor of worst. The bottom two teams are horrible, like every conference, and Stanford is still a mystery we’ll figure out soon. But aside from not having a legit title contender, the conference is much stronger from top to bottom than any time in recent memory. Their likely 10th best team beat NDSU, and UCLA, WAZZU, and Oregon St. at 10-2 look like the middle of the pack. And those two losses were by a total of six points against Oregon and USC. For the first time in forever I’m looking forward to PAC 12 play. There’s more parity than there’s been in years (of this quality, anyway), and it should make for some good football in the coming weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but they've been having difficulty competing with others regarding the salary they are willing to pay coaches, both Head and just as importantly the assistants. They finally got out of the cellar and aren't last anymore in the PAC12 as far as HC salaries go -- they are still in the bottom half -- and ended up only getting a UCLA guy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad grew up a few houses down from Toledo, but UCLA is as good at hiring coaches as Jim Craemer is at picking stocks. Love UCLA, but I took the Dawgs to cover tonight.

GoBigBlack Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Penix looks horrible. I wish it were the UCLA defense, but he’s had time and he’s missing some pretty easy throws.

GoBigBlack Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 The SEC has been knocked off its perch… 1. Pac-12 In its last season of existence as we know it, the Pac-12 has proven to be an absolute monster. Washington, behind Heisman Trophy contender Michael Penix Jr at quarterback, has elevated itself all the way to No. 2 in the CBS Sports 133. The Pac-12 landed five teams in the top 15 of our comprehensive FBS rankings: Oregon at No. 7, USC at No. 9, Utah at No. 12 and Washington Stateat No. 15. One-third of the top 15 teams in the country reside out west, and what's most impressive is that these teams are doing it on both sides of the ball. Four of the top five scoring offenses are in the Pac-12 (USC, Oregon, Washington and Washington State), while three are in the top 11 nationally in total defense (UCLA, Utah and Oregon). Is the Pac-12's dominance sustainable? That remains to be seen, but the first month of the season has been phenomenal for a conference that is in the midst of ugly divorce proceedings 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means Wisconsin was overrated and terrible: 🤣. The rest was against big time Underdogs and Cal struggled against UNLV at home.

Washington State 19 Wisconsin 14 UNLV 14 California 20 Then, NEON DEION will fit right in!
