Between Oregon, Washington and USC could two of these teams make the playoff?

USC looks the most vulnerable of the 2, tbh

Utah might be better than all three of those.

Utah isn't better than Washington. Washington looks like a machine. Penix should at least be invited to the Heisman ceremony.

If Washington goes undefeated or loses one game I think they should get a playoff invite. They play Utah, USC, Oregon, Washington State, and Oregon State. All those teams will be ranked when they play them.

Penix is the favorite for the Heisman currently

He should be. He's persevered.

Penix is awesome. Now sit him the first four games of Washington's season and see where they are. That is where Utah is with Cam Rising. I'm not convinced Utah is better, but we haven't see Utah with their best player yet.

They should as they are head and shoulders above every other conference this year.

Washington
Oregon
Utah
Oregon St
Washington St

USC is charmin soft and will be exposed when they play the more physical teams.

That Washington/Washington St. is really going to be fun. WSU has a hell of a QB and a very physical defense.

Those schools all play each other this year so it’s basically impossible just because of the way the schedule worked out

I’m more curious about how many Biggie 12 teams will be in.

Ehh maybe. Are those teams really good or just 8-4 good which puts you in the 17-25 range. Outside of USC none of those teams have elite talent on the field.

If you put any combination of those 3 against UGA/Bama/LSU you are taking the SEC teams. Same with OSU/mich/PSU

The better question is if you have:

12-1 UGA
13-0 Michigan
13-0 Florida State
12-1 Texas
12-1 Washington

Which 2, 1-Loss Champs are you taking?

Unless you have multiple 2 loss Conference Champs, I don't see any conference getting 2 teams this year. But if anyone does, it looks like it would be the PAC.

How ironic that in their last year, the PAC looks the strongest its been in over a decade. Their leadership is horrible.

Michigan isn’t going 13-0. Bet the farm.

It's far more likely the PAC canibalizes itself and gets no teams in.

The SEC champ is getting in
One of OSU, Michigan, PSU is getting in
Given the remaining schedules, it hard to see FSU, Texas, and OU all losing more than one game.

I agree. I actually think Penn state is the best team in the Big

Oh do tell us about all the talent that is going in the first round from the pac 12 this season? Penix is great, and I love the toughness of Utah. I think Washington has good players and Oregon has talent.

All that said, their talent is not on the level of some of the teams in other conferences straight up.

So to actually answer the question no I don’t think they get 2 teams in

Edit: I shouldn't have made my initial statement; Oregon is a talented team and Washington is ok. I just don't think UCLA/WSU/Utah/OSU are full of top flight talent.

Both teams have tons NFL talent. Maybe you should go read up on Washington's wide receivers as a start
