The Pac-12 has had just two teams make the college football playoff since it was started in 2014, with Oregon and Washington making appearances in 2014 and 2016.
They’ve since been shut out, despite some near-misses, and this year looks like another challenging path for the league to make it.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I also look at how one team addressing its weaknesses from the year prior could shake up the conference standings this year.
Arizona’s defense took a step back from its 2021 numbers, so is there any optimism it could improve heading into 2023?
One of the biggest stories in sports over the last year has been the Saudi PIF involvement in the LIV Golf and the subsequent (and pending) “merger” with the PGA Tour.
I look talk about the possibility of the Saudis being involved in college sports one day, and why it’s not a ridiculous possibility.
