Final Pac-12 Power Rankings of 2016: Was USC’s resurrection enough to push them to the top of our list?

Leland Wong: We’re here for our final ranking of the Pac-12 teams for the 2016 season—the last countdown for these teams. If only there were a cool pop-culture or music reference that I could throw in around now.

We rank the teams based on performance and fanbase emotion over the course of the 2016 season with a particular emphasis on the most recent week. Today, I’m guessing there’s more of a comprehensive assessment on the season overall.

Lastly, since we’re all Cal-centric (even DC Trojan is a little bit Cal-centric), please note that these rankings were written before Sonny Dykes was fired by Cal on January 8.
