Pac-12’s Comeback is Triumphant for Two Teams and Hopeful for Others Striving to Join

The Pac-12 conference has had a rough couple of years, losing several of its top teams to other conferences and struggling to keep up with the powerhouses of the SEC and Big Ten. But this year, the conference is showing signs of a comeback, with two teams in the top 10 and several others on the rise.

1. Utah and USC Lead the Way

The Utah Utes and USC Trojans are the two teams leading the Pac-12 charge this year. Utah is currently ranked No. 7 in the country and has a 7-1 record, while USC is ranked No. 10 and has a 6-1 record. Both teams have impressive wins over ranked opponents, and they look like they could be contenders for the College Football Playoff.

2. Oregon and Washington State are on the Rise

Two other Pac-12 teams that are showing signs of improvement this year are the Oregon Ducks and Washington State Cougars. Oregon started the season 3-1, but they have lost two straight games. However, they have a talented roster and could still be a factor in the Pac-12 race. Washington State is 5-2 this year and has a win over ranked Wisconsin. The Cougars are a dark horse to win the Pac-12 North division.

3. Arizona and Colorado Looking to Join

Two more Pac-12 teams that could be on the rise are the Arizona Wildcats and Colorado Buffaloes. Arizona is 4-3 this year and has a win over ranked San Diego State. Colorado is 1-6 this year, but they have played a tough schedule and could be a factor in the Pac-12 South division next year.

4. The Future of the Pac-12

The Pac-12 conference is still a long way from being back to its old self, but the conference is showing signs of a comeback. With two teams in the top 10 and several others on the rise, the Pac-12 could be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
