Wilner’s take on the culmination of this abortion of a season.
No other Power Five league that uses the division format would have undermined the integrity of the regular season and the championship by elevating a second-place team.
The policies adopted by the SEC and the Big Ten called for their title games to be declared no contests if one of the division winners was unable to participate because of COVID.
But the Pac-12 plowed even after Washington, the North champion, was forced to withdraw.
And it saved the pac12 from usc (potentially) losing by 50+ to Bama in the playoff
SC had no chance at the playoffs
Yeah you guys are right. I’ve got too many sc buddies who were convinced last night was a play in opportunity for them. They wanted bama!
There only extremely minor chance was the PAC falling under the games threshold and bringing Colorado to the title game and then smashing the Buffs. Beating an unranked UW or Oregon wasn’t moving the needle enough.
Ultimately they probably didn’t have a shot anyway.
