The Pac-12 has fallen behind other conferences in recent years. The last Pac-12 Football school to win a national championship from the conference was USC in 2004. Before that? Washington won a split national championship in 1991.
The Pac-12 has won a grand total of three football national championships since 1974. One major name missing from that list, the UCLA Football team who split a national championship in 1954. It’s clear, the conference needs to step up to keep up.
Three of the five power conferences have at least 14 members and the ACC holds 15 members.
