It’s been a long time since the Pac-12 was relevant in college football, and it’s not getting better anytime soon.
Lincoln Riley’s hire at USC may bring some life to the conference, as he’ll try to breathe life back into an exhausted but capable national title contender. Until then, however, the Pac-12 remains irrelevant.
During the 2021 season postseason, the Pac-12 finished 0-5, and that doesn’t include UCLA’s cancelation due to COVID issues.
The latest loss came Saturday night in the Rose Bowl, as Ohio State beat Utah 48-45. The Utes join Oregon State, Oregon, Arizona State and Washington State as losers this postseason.
In fact, the Pac-12 hasn’t won a bowl game since the 2019 season. Really.
Social media had a field day with the Pac-12 after the Utes lost to the Buckeyes.

BREAKING: Due to the lack of a single bowl game win, the PAC 12 has officially been relegated to the group of 5 conferences. The American conference is promoted in their stead.

The Pac-12 went 0-5 in bowl games this season plus UCLA’s cancellation.
The conference needs its presidents and chancellors to get more serious about football or else they’ll see decreased revenue reduce their ability to be successful in non-revenue sports, too.

Pac-12 finishes 0-5 in bowl games.
Went 0-2 last year.
Last bowl win was Oregon’s Rose Bowl vs. Wisconsin in the 2019 season.
