Here's how I knew USC was a CFP pretender:

They needed an onside kick recovery to beat ASU. 
They trailed Arizona with a minute left. 
They beat Utah after playing those two games before Utah played any.
They played WSU after they had Covid issues.
They were outplayed by UCLA.
USC trailed with a minute left in 3/5 of their wins.

I LOL'd when I saw Bill Plaschke's absurd column this week whining that USC wasn't being considered for playoff.  

But let's not pretend Oregon is some deserving champion either. Oregon lost to both Cal and Oregon State, teams Stanford beat, I might add. And, Stanford also beat Washington, the team that was suppose to be in the championship game for the North, that Oregon didn't even play.  I'm not convinced Stanford wouldn't have beat Oregon and Colorado if Mills didn't have the Covid false positive.

Was Stanford really the best team in the Pac-12 this year and nobody knows it?
