I have said all along that I'm not necessarily sold on the Pac12 this year, but it's worth pointing out that there was nothing particularly noteworthy in their body of work last season that would have predicted that Stanford could upset ND and OSU & Washington would run a string of upsets to FF berths.That was last year as you noted, this year let's see how they do against other 1-2-3 seeds. That's the beauty of opinion boards! Based on the 2016-17 games ...not so much Never let the fact get in the way of a discussion..I can list them all for you if you want then parse why they all lost... ND-Wash; Stan-Tenn; UCLA-Baylor; UCLA-SC and OSU to umm oh yeah you didn't play anyone! Stan did beat Texas so yeah, PAC12 is 1-4 against top 5 seeds. Yeah power conference...
The one area where the Pac12 appears strongest is coaching. Setting aside Muffet for the time being, all things being equal, which group of 3 coaches would you rather have coaching your team: Brenda, Kim & Dawn or Tara, Rueck & Neighbors? IMO it's the Pac12 coaches hands down.
