It hasn’t happened many times in history, but college football fans have lived long enough to see the death of one of the sport’s great institutions.
The future of the Pac-12 remains in doubt, but we know for certain that it will never again be the league that it was. It’s hard to imagine a league so essential to the history of this sport, and indeed all of college sports, going away for good but such are the times we find ourselves in.
We at For The Win wanted to take this occasion to commemorate one of the titans of college football history, the Pac-12 Conference, by showcasing our picks for the greatest games in the league’s history.
This list — not a ranking — is admittedly biased towards modern history, as most of us here are millennials who were not fortunate enough to watch the 1930s Rose Bowls in person. With that caveat out of the way, please enjoy this walk through the history of one of college football’s great leagues one last time.
