Importantly there are four teams in the top 25.  That probably means a one-loss champion gets into the playoffs.

Man I think we’re a ways off from thinking about running the table.

Massey has 5 Pac-12 teams among the top 25.

[utefansince79]

One of the better non-conference years the PAC12 has recently had.

Good handful of quality wins, and a smaller number of close wins against weak teams and bad losses.  Have avoided losing to FCS teams (with Zona having a scare last weekend against a strong ND State team)  A few teams at the bottom look really bad this year, but there are a lot of strong teams at the top.  

Going through conference play unscathed is going to be a very challenging task for anyone in the league this year.

Amen. I am excited for conference play.
