QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Q: Has the PAC-12 lost it’s place as the number 2 conference in the nation?

A: No, Think about this, Oregon, UCLA, Stanford, USC, Arizona State, Utah and Arizona could be considered as top 25 caliber! Let’s rank the conferences in terms of those teams

1. SEC 11

2. Pac 12 7

3. Big 10 4

4. ACC 3

4. Big 12 3

So as you can see it is still the SEC and everyone else but the Pac-12 is gaining ground and is certainly still #2
