Week 1 was not kind to teams in the PAC 12. With the conference breaking in a bevy of new playmakers, including three true freshman starting Quarterbacks, its teams went a combined 7-5 in the season's opening week. This record included losses to an FCS team (thank you WSU), a Mountain West team (uhhh), a sub-par SEC team (gracias ASU), and a Big 10 team that hasn't been bowling in two years (danke Stanford). In addition, Oregon, USC, and Arizona each had more trouble with their "C level" opponent than expected.
In short, it was an ugly week for PAC 12 football.
