    It seems like we've seen early seasons like this before. At the end there's usually 1-2 teams left that look like they're worth a shit. LIPO.

    This year is different. UW, usc, Oregon, Utah, and osu are all legit top 15 teams. With 3 of those being playoff caliber teams if they didn’t all beat each other up

    Colorado upgrading from being one of the worst P5 teams to at least an average P5 team makes the conference so much tuffer.

    I would say the Pete C., Jim Harbaugh, Chip Kelly, era Pac was better. But this seems pretty close.

    Pete was only there 1 year with chip at Oregon (2009). And usc was bad that year. Ended up in the emerald nuts bowl iirc

    2000 season, 2001 Bowls were special.

    UW and OSU both in top 5, iirc

    They never really lined up. Peak Harbaugh/Chip gave the conference two really good teams but the rest was utter trash.

    The Northwest in 2000 was unreal. Again though, the rest of the conference that year was trash.

    Peak "modern era" PAC IMO. PAC was supplying a disproportionate number of players to the NFL back then too. Mid to late 70's were pretty strong as well, I'd argue the coaching staffs then were the best. Bill Walsh, John McKay, Dick Vermeil, Don James, Troy Donahue ...
