We begin this year’s Top 10 with a message of advice for the Pac-12: stay west of the Mississippi, y’all.
On the first full Saturday of college football season, the league saw its two CFP hopefuls, Oregon and Utah, suffer beatdowns at the hands of the big, bad SEC. The Ducks never stood a chance against Georgia in Atlanta, and the Utes got swallowed up at the Swamp in coach Billy Napier’s first game as the Gators coach.
The Pac-12 is barreling toward the unthinkable, it would seem: a sixth straight year without advancing to the CFP. That 12-team playoff can’t get here soon enough!
