For the second straight year, College GameDay will be on the west coast for Oregon and UCLA—this time a Top 10 matchup with Pac-12 Championship and potentially College Football Playoff ramifications.

Other teams that seem to be flying under the radar, like Oregon State and Washington who are both 5-2, but could in their own ways influence the 2022 Pac-12 champion.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I look at some of the biggest storylines at this point in the heart of the conference schedule.

With wild scenarios potentially abundant as discussed on yesterday’s show, one correction to a potential tiebreaker situation needs to be issued.

The competitive and wild nature of the Conference has served as a reminder to some that come 2024, USC and UCLA (who have been in the thick of the Pac-12 drama this year) only have two years left in the league.

Is there anything at this point that could see the LA schools stay in the conference?

Probably not, and there’s almost certainly nothing commissioner George Kliavkoff could do about it.
