Without a doubt the biggest story from Week 1 in college football that we couldn’t hear enough was how great the Pac-12 looks and how bad the Big 12 looks. I want to unpack that just a little bit. The Pac-12, as we all know, will cease to exist in its present form after this season, with 10 of the current schools leaving for other conferences. That has made a lot of people, myself included, feeling nostalgic and not necessarily looking forward to the changes. But this is also the conference that has not made the College Football Playoff since 2017 and consistently fails to fill stadiums.
