- LSU 15-0
- Clemson 14-1
- Ohio State 13-1
- Georgia 12-2
- Florida 11-2
- Alabama 11-2
- Oregon 12-2 - A lot of people are going to rank Oregon ahead of two-loss SEC schools, but I really don’t think that’s fair, and their Rose Bowl performance doesn’t suggest that they could beat any of those teams. It was a very nice season for them as they executed and took advantage of most of the opportunities that came their way. They finish with a massive gap between them and any other Pac-12 school.
- Oklahoma 12-2
- Penn State 11-2
- Minnesota 11-2
- Notre Dame 11-2
- Auburn 9-4
- Wisconsin 10-4
- Iowa 10-3
- Baylor 11-3
- Memphis 12-2
- Cincinnati 12-2
- Utah 11-3 - The Utes fell apart in the Pac-12 Championship Game and their bowl game, again. They’ve shown they can win the South when USC is down and now after graduating a ton of seniors, it feels that this program may have a hard time climbing to heights higher than this again any time soon.
- Michigan 9-4
- Appalachian State 13-1
- Navy 11-2
- Virginia 9-5
- Texas A&M 8-5
- Kansas State 8-5
- Texas 8-5
On the edge
USC, Washington, Arizona State, Cal, UCF
The cluster of 8-5 Pac-12 teams is strong, but also super inconsistent, especially USC and Washington, who have way too much talent to have lost a combined 10 games.
