Washington's Rome Odunze: Pac-12 'Has Been Slept on' for Its Entire Existence

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze believes his conference doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Per ESPN's Kyle Bonagura, Odunze said the Pac-12, which will have just two teams next season, has been overlooked for its entire 108-year tenure.

"I think the Pac-12 has been slept on for the entire time that it has existed," Odunze said. "Sadly, it's coming to an end."

Since its conception in 1915, the Pac-12 has had a team recognized as the consensus National Champion 10 different times. Odunze and the Huskies are looking to be the Pac-12's first national champion of the College Football Playoff era when they take on Michigan on Monday.
