The last of the Power Five conferences kicks off this weekend when the Pac-12 begins its seven-game conference-only college football schedule.
While it will be exceptional to have all of the big boys back in town, there are plenty of question marks. And that is even if you remove COVID-19 concerns from the equation.
Last year, the Pac-12 failed to place a participant in the College Football Playoff, and it hasn't since 2017, when No. 4 Washington lost to Alabama in the semifinal.
It's been a long, winding road for the conference. The Oregon Ducks have made two coaching changes and surged back to the top of the conference.
