The good, the bad and the unknown of the 2016 Pac-12 regular season

The Good

Chris Petersen & Washington - I was one of the many pessimistic people about Petersen at Washington when he was hired and in his first season. The trail of Boise State coaches who had failed at the power conference level was legit and his approach was a little more reserved and old fashioned than what was dominating college football at the time.

All those doubts are obliterated now. Petersen has built a monster at Washington and if you look at the recruiting classes he is putting together now that he has them winning, it looks like they are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Pac-12 for a long time.
