Pac-12 looking stronger at top after early-season losses

The Pac-12 appeared headed toward another College Football Playoff miss when Oregon got throttled by top-ranked Georgia and Utah lost at Florida. Flash forward three weeks and it seems the Pac-12 might be in good shape after all. The Ducks and Utes bounced back with big wins and the top of the conference looks strong, with four teams in the top 15 for the first time since 2016. It’s still early, but the Pac-12 is putting itself in position to get a team through to the CFP for the first time since Washington in 2016-17.
