The Pac-12 is plunging toward a riveting final fortnight.
Theme of the week I: CFP derailment
Three College Football Playoff contenders entered the 11th week of the season and one survived: USC is the only team with one loss and therefore the only team capable of ending the Pac-12’s playoff drought. The upset victims, UCLA and Oregon, have been eliminated. According to the Associated Press, the twin defeats marked the first time since 2014 that two Pac-12 teams ranked in the Top 10 lost at home on the same weekend.
… then all five contenders would finish 7-2. How would the tiebreaker unfold? At this point, we prefer lighter reading, like Ulysses.One of the most anticipated games of the conference season easily surpassed expectations with 45 points in the second half, big plays, huge mistakes and an edge-of-the-seat finish. The TV ratings will be released in several days, and we expect the latest installment in this terrific rivalry to approach three million viewers. Also, the uniforms were fantastic.
