We were also the only league who put two teams with at least two losses in its conference title game. That kind of says it all there no?

You’re right. The fact that the Pac will most likely end the season without a team ranked in the top 10 or maybe 15 is a better way.
While everything you say is true, going forward, I’m not sure I can agree. Time will tell if I’m right or wrong.
Personally, I just see a fundamental shift. Let me put it this way...
CU only has room for one ILB (as if ... but follow me here).
Two kids have CU #1.
One is a 5* from California with offers from everyone. The other is a 4* from Texas with offers from everyone.
Who do you take?
Personally, I’ll take the kid from Texas every time.
I hope I’m off the mark here and until I see a PAC-12 team go out and dominate another P5 team in a game that matters, I think I’ll stick with my tune. YMMV
I’d take the one from Georgia.
This is a floundering conference hamstrung by ever-lagging TV revenues which influences quality of coaches, ACs, support personnel, facilities, recruiting etc in a region that does not value college football.
Wilner will have his say later tonight. I expect it to be a blistering piece. Stay tuned for a serious dose of damnation.

I like how most site members rip the Pac 12 for network, Commish, distribution, tv time slots, $$$, national pub, etc for 350 days/year, and then the conference teams have the worst bowl season of any major conference in history (according to Wilner), and many posters come out and downplay it as no big deal. Weird.
It all matters.
The 2 key turnovers in this game both when PSU was driving kept Washington in the game. Otherwise it would've likely been a 3 or 4 touchdown win for Penn State. And kudos to Barkley for not sitting out this game.

I was thinking about their history of run dominance before I saw your post. My fiancée asked why they always run up the middle. I told her, “it’s because it’s who they are. They don’t care, they do whatever they want and they’re good at it.” They have an identity, recruit to that identity and run their system flawlessly. They don’t even recruit highly, but they recruit smartly.
Good data.
What is doesn't show though is that they have a lot of high 3* types. They identify guys who will work in their system and recruit them hard.
Miami gets held on third down.
Wisconsin converts.
Richt goes ballistic.
TV crew has no idea why.

Checked that out earlier too haha. Was curious about their recruiting and amount of high end talent they had. I was discussing with my friend who is from wisconsin. The kids in Wisconsin live for football and they love the badgers. It’s an honor for them to be able to play for the badgers. This is what colorado doesn’t have. We don’t have that culture and CU hasn’t cornered that market.
By far.
