NCAAF 8 teams from the Pac-12 land in ESPN’s Week 2 Power Rankings
We’ve said it many times over the last month or so, but it’s becoming a truer and truer statement with each passing week: It’s such a shame that the Pac-12 is going to cease to exist after quite possibly the best year in the conference’s existence.
Until late on Saturday night, the Pac-12 stood as the only league in the nation that was undefeated, going 16-0 until both Arizona, Arizona State, and Stanford lost in the night window. Still, the conference is currently way ahead of the rest of the nation when it comes to non-conference records this season, and they are making an early statement when it comes to the polls.
Following the end of Week 2, the LBM Coaches Poll came out and put seven Pac-12 schools — USC, Washington, Utah, Oregon, Oregon State, Colorado, and UCLA — in the standings, while the Associated Press Top 25 added an eighth in there with Washington State.
ESPN followed that lead, putting eight of the 12 schools out west in their most recent power rankings. Take a look at where all of the schools stand following Week 2:
