Pac-12 Championship preview: Washington, Oregon meet again as teams bid farewell with CFP berth on the line

The Pac-12 entered the 2023 college football season dead in the water after the mass exodus that occurred over the summer. The "Conference of Champions" was decimated after Colorado decided the time was right to jump ship, followed by Utah, Arizona and Arizona State announcing their moves to the Big 12 in 2024. Oregon and Washington chose to join UCLA and USC in the Big Ten before Cal and Stanford made the move to the ACC. All that remained of the once-storied conference was Washington State and Oregon State as the season kicked off, the swan song for the Pac-12.
