“Can I offer you a libation to celebrate the closing of our shared narrative?” —The Client, The Mandalorian
For several Pac-12 teams, especially UW, celebration of the 2022 season is justified. And despite not getting a team into the CFP (again) and several inexplicable failures by teams in their bowl games, the 2022 season has to be considered successful for the conference as a whole-at least to an extent. Several Pac-12 teams were considered playoff contenders for most of the season. The Heisman Trophy winner was from the Pac-12, and as most fans know, the Pac-12 has 6 teams in the top-25 of the final AP poll, and those same 6 are in the top-25 of the final Coaches Poll; that is as many as the SEC, and twice as many as the ACC, Big Ten, and Big 12.
