The feather in the cap of a college football team’s season is a bowl victory at the end of the year, a victory that elevates the conference and galvanizes the fan base. But even sweeter is the pride and achievement of making and winning a College Football Playoff game.
Unfortunately, fans of the PAC-12 will not be represented in the final four again (or at least not for a painfully long time).
Why, you ask? Why, when the team has sent two programs to the playoff already? Why, when the conference consistently has teams ranked in the top 10 of the country?
