As Max pointed out earlier this week, we are now one quarter of the way through the (regular) season. What we know so far is that the Pac-12 is doing well against their non-conference opponents (or, at least most of them are) so far. The Pac-12 is 29-5 with wins over TCU, Florida, Baylor, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Wisconsin, and Michigan State. In fact, the Pac-12 is the only conference with a winning record over teams from other Power-5 conferences. And that, as we’ll see, is likely a good reason why so many Pac-12 teams are ranked.
