Looks like 6 of the Pac12 coaches get a vote, out of 65 cast each week.

With pollling driving Playoffs ultimately, one would expect the ACC, SEC and B1G to look out for each other and push the Pac12 down a couple clicks if they can; ditto on the Big12.  We need to beat ranked teams out of conference early, period.  WASH failed.  
We get a shot at NDAM on Sept 29 -- since they beat MICH, a win in South Bend gives us two other horses to pull our cart:  NDAM and MICH. 
AZST gets a shot at MIST on Saturday, so a Devils win could help us down the line.  
After WASH vs AUBN and STAN vs NDAM, there are not many games on the slate to help us.  
[I do not expect UCLA to beat @OKLA, and U$C and NDAM do not play until the last game of the season in LA.]  
A majority of pundits see any Pac12 Champ having TWO losses -- OUT, again.
