The Oregon State Beavers have yet to make the College Football Playoff (I didn’t need to remind everybody, did I?). The Pac-12 has been represented a twice though. The Oregon Ducks reached the national championship game in the Playoff’s first year in 2014/15 and the Washington Huskies made the semifinals in 2016/17. So here’s my basic question: how does that make you feel?
On the one hand, teams from this conference succeeding helps with the national perception of Pac-12 football and could lead to better television deals down the road.
