It’s going to be interesting how the national view of the Pac-12 Conference shifts over the coming weeks. With four weeks of the 2023 season behind us, there is little argument against the idea the Pac-12 is the best conference in the nation. It has six teams in the top 25 and four in the top 10.
However, conference play is underway, and the Pac-12 loves to beat up on itself. Already we’ve seen Washington State knock off Oregon State, and Oregon knock off Colorado. As we go further, games between Oregon and Washington, USC and Utah and Washington State and UCLA will add dings to certain teams’ resumes.
