Crossover guesses

[ahoelsken]

Random fun thing I thought we could do while we await the conference schedule-what will that look like?

Here's mine:

1) USC-Oregon: I think Duck nation will probably complain about having to play a mountain or Arizona school in this spot, and they're the closest thing the league has to a CFP contender. Gotta think Sir Lawrence will have them play the biggest fish out of the south with the closest COVID restrictions to what they've dealt with-and we know who that is. This game's gotta happen for exposure.

2) CU-Washington State: New coaches in spots where both programs have been able to meet the 12 hour rule for the most part. Wazzu is obviously making over the offense-so this is likely a year 0 for both Dorrell and Rolovich.........which makes this one logical.

3) Cal-Arizona State: Division contender vs division contender.

4) Washington-Utah: Pretty even game between two teams who have been able to get some stuff done during the hiatus (for lack of a better term).

5) Stanford-UCLA: Makes sense from a pandemic restrictions standpoint.

6) Arizona-Oregon State: Pairing these two for no other reason than they're the last two left.

If the Pac 12 was smart they would align the best and worst teams against each other.

That had something to do with my thinking with these

Really. Than why USC O and CU WSU? I think those are the least likely match ups. CU will get O.

With the Oklahoma loss (I'm assuming Texas drops a game to somebody they shouldn't even if they beat OU), the Pac has a chance at the CFP. Oregon's most likely to get there. Making CU their crossover opponent does nothing to help that argument.

Our crossover game is with Stanford. Winnable.
