Dominant Team?

[HuskerOC]

Seems extremely wide open this year.

Not a team staking any kind of dominance, just kind of surviving.

Every team seems vulnerable, and has numerous amounts of chinks in their armour.

November should be amazing this year.

not all schedules are equal. some of these teams have cupcake weeks in november some more than one.

Best year in Pac12 history?

Has to be the deepest league, right?

could be. its a shame this is the end. i see it already before it happens that no team will be undefeated in pac 12 and likely not get in playoff.

I have zero doubt Pac12 champ is in the playoff this year.

Maybe even 2 teams.

I think Washington is really really good.

eh guess only time will tell. we just saw washington struggle with arizona. im hopeful because i think USC "could" be one of those teams to get in. but its not going to suprise me at all if the conference cannibalizes itself and beats each other out of the playoff. theres more parity than with the SEC where its georgia maybe 1 loss alabama and nobody else really.

Washington has Oregon next week. I think they got caught looking ahead and Arizona was able to hang with them.

Is it just me or is there a shit ton of undefeated teams still after 5 games in? What is the record for this I’m wondering. After 5 games in, highest # of undefeated teams.

This kinda looks like one of those years with 2 dominant teams, 6 really good teams, and maybe 2 wild cards that sneak into the discussion.

Red River Rivalry and Oregon v Washington might sort out a lot. It wouldnt shock me if Bama wins out if they beat A&M. Michigan in general seems pretty dominant.

The NIL affect is already evident

In two weeks - both UW & UO have byes next week

My bad. You’re right. Just looked at a schedule for next game and didn’t realize it was in two weeks.

The SEC East could sort itself out this weekend

Could definitely be the most talented, but it more screams to me like the Big 12 in recent years
Great offenses, no defense. Which prevents them from competing against the better teams in the SEC/B1G/ACC. Although the ACC is garbage this year. I just feel like Washington/Oregon/USC would all struggle for a little bit offensively against a Michigan + OSU defense, while OSU and Michigan would torch the defenses in the Pac 12, especially USC.

The game was never in doubt. If you are calling it a struggle, you are either reaching pretty hard or didn't watch the game.

Arizona with a chance to tie at end. They struggled just as much as usc with Colorado and Oregon vs Stanford in 1sf half. Next you will be saying Penix is the heisman after no TD passes vs Arizona and a good 40 attempts more than Caleb Williams.

I didn't watch the Colorado game so I wouldn't know.

Arizona didn't have a chance to tie it in the end. Not worried about style points, would it have been great to beat them by 30? Sure, but I'll take a 7 point win everyday, twice on Saturday.

I could give 2 shits about a Heisman.

The winner of Oregon vs UW is only going to sort out who gets 2nd and 3rd place in the conference.

I guess I wouldn't want to be 3rd place then
