Best Teams of the Pac-12 Era

[haie]

remember when you guys went 0-12

What was ASU's best season: 8-5 Herm Edwards in 2019 or 8-5 Herm Edwards in 2021?

Jake The Snake in the Rose Bowl.

Pac 12 era it was their 2013 team where Norvell was the OC, they won their division and then got their asses kicked by Stanford at home before they did neutral site championship games.

The downside to this hypothetical is I'm not sure everyone comes back for 2023 in that event. But I think 2022 could have very easily been national runner up with those two guys still here.
I’ll see your hypothetical and raise it.
If the 2022 team makes the playoffs and those guys go to the NFL, is Fats still coaching at UW?

My guess is if that happens there's a good chance Fats takes the best job offer he can get and we're all horrified when he leaves for something that feels like a lateral move.

So since we deal in hypotheticals now, in this one we're playing Michigan in the Fiesta. Win or Lose? We know Georgia wins the whole thing no matter what, so do any of Michigan's players who came back go pro after reaching Natty (assuming they beat us)?
I like to imagine in this world Michigan wins Fiesta but loses to Georgia, our guys all come back cause they want one more shot, but Michigan loses some of their senior talent. Then in 2023, because Michigan is slightly weaker, tOSU beats Michigan. Ryan Day in the Rose Bowl as an undefeated team doesn't come through against Bama, and then we play Bama for Natty in Houston. We win Natty, Saban retires and who coaches where?
Oh this is fun….

That's probably the ideal. It's kind of crazy that basically in any previous era this year still would have been a natural national title game Michigan/Washington since that would have just been the Rose Bowl pre-BCS then the championship game during the BCS era.

TYFYS forgot 2013 was Pac-12
