Except that there are very few non-conference games left for the Pac-12 to look good versus other leagues - Stanford and SC v Notre Dame and a couple of BYU games. More? (At least those are against recognized teams.)
Right now, in inter-Power5-conference games, the respective conference records are:
ACC: 3-5
Big 12: 4-6
Big Ten: 6-5
Pac 12: 3-4
SEC: 6-2
If you wish to include und in the Power 5, then the Big Ten goes to 6-6 and the SEC to 6-3.

In 2017, pre-bowl season (roughly where we are now in the 2018 season), the records were:
ACC: 4-12
Big 12: 4-6
Big Ten: 7-5
Pac 12: 6-2
SEC: 6-9
In addition, und went 1-1 vs Pac 12, 4-1 vs ACC, 0-1 vs SEC, 1-0 vs Big Ten, 0-0 vs Big 12 [or invert those to add to conference records above].
From all of this I conclude … not much of anything, except perhaps that inter Power 5 games are so rare and the matchups random that the results appear to be pretty much noise.
