I just don’t see Washington as a pac12 team anymore. Legally will be until July, but really that’s just the day they officially become BigTen members.

Make no mistake we are a member of the PAC.

We never do anything easy. One more to go.

Washington, Arizona, Oregon who were the cream did quite well in bowl games, as did USC. Oregon State, while maybe having an excuse, laid as big an egg as Iowa or Florida State. UCLA and Utah split in truly who cares anyway level bowls against equally mediocre foe. This overrated conference did very well in its swan song.

Boy, did this thread age well.

Just like all the posters that kept claiming Washington was overrated

Congratulations to the Pac-12 for finishing with the best bowl record (5-3) among all FBS conferences! Way to ride off into the sunset (err, sunrise?)

They might end up 6-3. One more game to go. Or 5-4.

With Michigan being under fire for the filming scandal, should we just go ahead & crown Washington the National Champs regardless? They either outright win & it doesn't matter, or they lose & later get the trophy when it's stripped from Michigan as Harbaugh takes an NFL job.

Boise State fired their coach who was not a fit for the school, and wound up tearing up the MWC big time. Boise State started a QB who never played a game for Boise before since their other QBs transfer, and still kept the game close, and was leading the game at some points. The problem is that Alvalos was not suited to be a head coach. If they had Chris Peterson today? They would have faced Washington in the first game, and may have pulled off an upset over Washington on the first game. That would have gave the Huskey's their only lost today. I bet today if the 2009 Boise State team with Moore under center went unbeaten, and others lost like FSU loses a game, Alabama loses to Auburn before they beat Georgia, etc? Boise State going unbeaten might put them in the playoffs.

Michigan, Boise State, Texas and Georgia may have looked like that.

2009/2010 bowl season would have had 3 G5 teams in the playoffs.

Boise State WAC
TCU MWC
Cincinnati Big East

If the 12 team playoff happened then? These were the schools that made it.

#1 Alabama SEC
2.Texas Big 12
3.Cincinnati Big East
4.TCU MWC
5.Florida SEC
6.Boise State WAC
7.Oregon PAC 12
8.Ohio State Big 10
9.Georgia Tech ACC
10.Iowa Big 10
11.Virginia Tech ACC
12.LSU SEC

Missed the playoffs.
13.Penn State Big 10
14.BYU MWC
Central Michigan MAC

If they strip the title (don’t think they will) then there’s just no champion. Doesn’t automatically go to UW.
