I wonder what the woofing gods thought of this thread, just hours before kickoff...

Please.  Stanford got its ass kicked up and down the field and was lucky it was only 38-17.  The fact remains that game was a giant opportunity for the Pac-12, and Stanford failed miserably.  

Washington loses to Auburn
USC got crushed at Texas
Stanford got hammered at Notre Dame.

Yes, they were all road games, but still, the Pac-12 has demonstrated it has no team worthy of the best in the SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, ACC, AND Notre Dame. Just a shameful and embarrassing place for the Pac-12 to be.  

Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State, Oklahoma, Clemson, Notre Dame, and probably LSU and Auburn, possibly West Virginia, are all probably better than any Pac-12 team. No Pac-12 team even Top-10 worthy.

While I was hopeful, I sure didn't think we had looked like a top ten team in our first four games, even though we were ranked there.
Last night's game unfortunately confirmed we weren't one.

Correct.  I see Stanford anywhere from 15-25 this year; and that's only if the O-line gets its act together and Bryce Love can shake off this injury and be healthy for the rest of the season.  Washington might be top ten: they battled Auburn to the wire down in their part of the world, so that counts for something.  But, yes, the Pac-12 really does not have a powerhouse (for the second year running).
