Final Pac-12 Power Rankings: Your CGB writers are freakin’ geniuses

Leland Wong: The Pac-12 ended bowl season in spectacularly stunning fashion—going 1–8. But all that matters to us right now is that the Pac-12 bowl season ended, meaning it’s time for one final Pac-12 Power Ranking.

Here’s how we got to 1–8:

  • #25 Boise State defeated Oregon, 38–28
  • Utah defeated West Virginia, 30–14
  • Kansas State defeated UC Los Angeles, 35–17
  • Purdue defeated Arizona, 38–35
  • #15 TCU defeated #13 Stanfurd, 39–37
  • #16 Michigan State defeated #18 Washington State, 42–17
  • #5 Ohio State defeated #8 USC, 24–7
  • #24 NC State defeated Arizona State, 52–31
  • #9 Penn State defeated #11 Washington, 35–28
  • No bowl: California, Colorado, Oregon State

We’ll be ranking the Pac-12 teams based on overall performance this season, fanbase sentiment, outlook for the future, and with a bit of an emphasis on the bowl results.
