At this point in the season, the Pac-12 has separated into a top-tier and a bottom-tier. At the top there are 5 teams now with 6 wins and one team with 5 wins. All are ranked or at least getting votes in the major polls. At the bottom are 6 teams with just 1 conference win each. There are a couple of those bottom-tier teams that are looking to break out of that tier (into a middle-tier?) as the season progresses. Below there is a look at the likelihood of any of those bottom-tier teams moving up and at least making a bowl game.
