I'll add that the article is spot on with both programs, but 'saving the Pac' is at least cliche if not overblown.

I mean both teams could bomb this year and the Pac could go two more years without a playoff team and then ANY team could make that run into the final 4 and the Pac would still be 'back' or at least more relevant again.

They don't even mention Utah while giving USC an outside chance which says they believe the prior name factor is part of what could 'save' the conference, but Utah making a stab at the final 4 and even winning a first round would go just as far.

In any event, the Pac won't be 'back' until they have more than just one team pushing into a 4th ranking and an appearance or even a win in the first round. They need the middle of the Pac to improve. They need to rise up several programs and beat equivalent teams from the other 4 in season and in bowls to really be 'back'. They have lacked in break out top 5 stuff, but that alone isn't their death nail. Having several move forward and turning heads would also go a long way at fixing the spiral downfall and near total failure of the conference TV network as well. Put a fucking product out that people, and carriers, are willing to pay for.

I have to admit, he did a lot better job last season than what I had thought he'd do.

He did better than everyone thought he’d do. Picked last in the South and finished second. Let’s see how year two goes.

It’s up to Washington. This year will be no different than it has for the past 3 years where we just have to win the Apple Cup to win the entire conference. If your Mutts win then either you or Stanford will win the North. Oregon is still trash with their QB who will make a nice backup in the NFL.

I don't feel like reading the article, why is the west so bad right now? Are other programs going west and pouching the talent?

I feel like I know expert level insights about the PAC now!

Cheap way for Washington to tag along for headlines.
