Oh yeah, and you idiots are objective and rational here right? I’m not so sure anyone is calling the P12 great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toohandsome Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 P12 will cannibalize itself as the season progresses. Utah will finish with 2-3 losses, same with UW. Oregon will win the conference but will likely pick up a head scratcher loss throughout conference play. I dont think the P12 is the worst P5 conference, that title goes to the ACC. However, like others have mentioned, they do lack that elite team this year. They’ll get it turned around, but it’s not gonna happen this year.

Chad Sexington Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Well, there are now six ranked PAC12 teams, so...not trash.

I wanted to watch CU-AF and the Oregon-Griz game too. I can't believe how long they have let their dispute with Direct TV go on. That's why God invented SportSurge.

Joe from WY Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The SEC's top is better than the Pac's. Bama/Georgia/UF/LSU/Auburn/TAMU is better than anything the Pac-12 has. Hell Kentucky would probably win the Pac-12 if they played in it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As evidenced by the fact he has beaten P12 opponents 5 of the last 6, he's become aware of the need to stop de-emphasizing them. Hopefully he will soon come to the realization that however poorly attended MWC bowl games might be, because gamblers pay a lot of attention to them, they matter too. I did not know that. He is even more underrated. Why Holmoe put Rocky on the schedule is beyond me. I would never play him. Our last game of the year will be a battle. If for some odd reason we overlook that game, we will be beaten badly. The Masters 5k road race All American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boise fan Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 59 minutes ago, utenation said: There’s always a few things you can count on in this conference. A tainted, biased anti P12 agenda here simply because of geography and the lack of seat at the table. 2. A few head to head MWC wins against bad P12 teams somehow counts as ownership of the P12. BTW, what happened to “powerhouse” Hawaii yesterday? Did they have to finally come off of Iwo Jima and play a good P12 team? Yikes. I thought they “owned” the P12? Finally, as some other fans mentioned, you could go through each P5 slate and find plenty of WTF moments in this early season. BTW, nearly half of our conference is ranked. How about the MWC? Lol You better hope that Florida State win holds up. They should be 0-3 right now. The ranking system is always phucked. Most teams rankings are circle jerks of the P5. #3 Georgia has beaten Vandy, Murray State and Arkansas State Who has Utah beat to warrant a #10 ranking? BYU? NIU? Idaho State? #11 Michigan has beaten Middle Tennessee and Army - barely. #12 Texas lost to LSU but has beaten the top teams Louisiana Tech & Rice. #13 Wisconsin has beaten USF & CMU #14 Penn State beat Idaho, Buffalo & Pitt 5 SEC teams in the top ten, and only LSU & Auburn have a win vs ranked teams. PAC-12 teams? #15 Oregon beat Nevada & Montana but lost to Auburn #19 Washington State beat New Mexico State, Northern Colorado & Houston #22 Washington has beat Eastern Washington and Hawaii, lost to Cal, yet is ranked higher. #23 Cal beat Washington, North Texas & UC Davis. #24 Arizona State beat Kent State, Sacramento State and ranked Michigan State, yet is 24th. Not sure crowing about rankings is a good thing. BTW, I'm not a Pac-12 hater. I like the conference. Far more than the other P5's. Conferences like the SEC get far too much credit playing each other, and the OOC games are mostly pillow fights. So the whole system is phucked.

I'm not a Pac hater either, they are my second favorite conference. Washington State is my favorite non MWC team.

Mano Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 56 minutes ago, halfmanhalfbronco said: Pretty sure you had Colorado #2 in your power rankings. The Pac 12's problem is their top would be most P5 conferences middle. If you are looking at leaning on Utah as your top team, you have a problem. Oregon and Washington are clearly the best teams in the Pac12 and they already have home loses. This thread is not about the MWC, Natty, if you want to start a "the MWC is garbage" thread, go ahead but do try and stay on topic in this one. Thanks. Do you understand the difference between power rankings, based solely on results of who you have played, and a poll where you are ranking teams by who you think is best? Are you one of those guys that shakes your fist at early season computer rankings too?

Bruininthebay Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Today's ESPN article about the AP poll ranking six different teams from the conference pretty clearly shows that the conference isn't 'garbage' but I agree that it doesn't appear to be the first or second best conference in the nation like it was generally considered fifteen years ago. The author of that ESPN article mentions '[Week 3 results] put the Pac-12 at 4-4 against the Mountain West this season.' You could interpret the implication of mentioning the record means the Pac 12 is bad but it can just as easily be interpreted as implying that the Mountain West is good, especially because MW schools have beaten Big Ten and SEC schools as well this year.
