My first time.....a good read indeed. During the many years that I have been following college football the West Coast (the Pac-10) schools always had many good (great actually) teams.......... during the past several years top 15 or even 20 teams have been few and far between, I have often wondered why. Bill Connelly says in his articles they have "Cratered" during the past 5 years but he doesn't say why, he only goes on to say where they are now and where they might be in 2019.

I was hoping that a few of the Rx contributors and posters who follow Pac-12 football closely could tell us why the conference as a whole has "cratered", I am completely at loss........old memories don't fade away in 5 years.

I'm a Big10 fan. See the PAC12 problem as just not finding the right head coach. Today there are no John McKay's, Pete Carroll's, or Don James's out there. Look at the Big10. If Urban Meyer wasn't hired by OSU after Tressel where would the Big10 be? Most likely they would be just like the PAC12 is now. Meyer forced Michigan to upgrade just as Michigan forced OSU to upgrade after the 80's and 90's. The PAC12 needs either USC or UCLA to dominate again and force others to improve. IMO

The PAC 12 is also garbage in hoops this year also.

I wonder if there is any correlation between the PAC 12 being so awful in both football and hoops??
