Pac 12 team Oregon favorite to win the Big 10
Pac 12 team Az St wins the Big 12


....Last year Big 12 team tu fav to win the SEC
....Last year American team SMU fav to win the ACC

That's like the ex-wife laughing when her former husband marries a richer, hotter lady.

The Pac 12 had great tradition. Poor leadership and lack of transparency from their final 2 commissioners led to their demise. That and poor monitoring/disengaged college presidents.

It ain't likely to happen, but I would love to see SMU and Boise in the national championship game.

Sounds like a high maintenance replacement.

it's possible that in the four main conferences sec, big 10, acc, and big 12 that the conference champion could be a year 1 addition to the conference.

How about NO?

It's not really a last laugh. Just shows that NIL has created parity and that if any of those teams in previous years were any good, they would have dominated. No team that could have won a natty was kept out of the playoffs.

Well sure, unless you count Georgia, from way back in 2023…

I'm talking about Pac 12 teams only.

SEC teams/league is different.

Well I'm too lazy right now to review the last 20 years of Pac12 teams etc, but the 4 team playoff was pretty flawed so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of teams over the years who could have won but got left out.

Let's see if a 5 seed or lower wins this year

Pac 12 teams have always been soft on defense and couldn't keep up w SEC teams.

I think a good question for the OP is, what team that won a natty in the last 20 years didn't deserve to? I fail to see where committee voting and polling kept any Pac 12 team from truly competing int he big game.

There have been several lopsided playoff and championship games, it's hard to say that the true champ wasn't correctly assigned.

All the Big 12 teams that have gone to the playoffs, lost.

Is anyone really saying that a Pac 12 team should have been crowned over the previous winners of the last 20 years?

Just curious. Ags weren't in any of those conversations except maybe 2020, so...eh.

Collin Klein >>>>>>> Mike Bobo at play calling.

Georgia's biggest offensive plays so far have been sip penalties

Yikes!

Georgia playing as unclutch as the Aggies

Easy INT dropped.
