Look at the conference records for the old Pac12 teams:
UCLA - 1-4
USC - 2-4
Wash - 2-3
Utah - 1-4
AZ - 1-4
ASU - 2-2
Cal - 0-4
Stan - 1-4
WSU - 0-0 (Overall - 7-1)
OSU - 0-0 (Overall - 4-4)
Except for Oregon and Colorado (and to a lesser extent with WSU with a weaker schedule) - the old Pac12 teams are stinking it up big-time
Ore - 5-0
Col - 4-1
And there we sit - 5-0 and 8-0 - with a very good chance of winning out. It doesn't make up for all the past years of us being relegated to the MWC and Independence - when we should rightly have been in the Pac10/12 - but it certainly feels good to see almost all of them struggling bigtime. And it makes the case that the Pac12 was a soft conference - further diminishing Utah's bragging rights the last couple of years.
Go Cougs!!
