. . . we won’t be a one loss Pac-12 champion.
If we are good enough to run the table against 9 Pac-12 teams, then we aren’t losing to NIU or BYU.
I get that, technically, we can lose to NIU and/or BYU and still win the conference, but what people who throw this statement out there don’t get is that if we lose to NIU or BYU, then it is almost guaranteed that we are not good enough to win the South Division, let alone the conference.
