Uiagalelei and UCLA.Įach team has different tests throughout the season and will have issues navigating its respective schedule in order to remain on line to make the College Football Playoff, namely USC, who finishes with nine straight games, including a road trip out of conference across the country to Notre Dame. However, the next three teams have conference title upside, including back-to-back winner Utah, upstart Oregon State with the addition of Clemson transfer quarterback D.J. This year, offenses won't be the question in the PAC-12, as the league has reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams back at USC, Bo Nix at Oregon and Michael Pennix back at Washington, three of the top six choices to win the Heisman Trophy and the three favorites to win the conference.
The PAC-12 is consistently one of the most entertaining conferences in college football, but that hasn't translated to on-field success when compared to the national powerhouses as the the likes of USC, Utah, Oregon and more beat up on one another during a long regular season.
