Pac-12 Power Poll – Week 8

ByNathan Eberhardt

Eight weeks down, we’re starting to suss out contenders from pretenders. Instead of last week’s clear top/bottom and a mushy middle, we may be headed toward a clear separation between top and bottom, both of which are hazy and unsettled. Here’s the Pac-12 Power Poll.

Note: this power poll reflects my arbitrary opinion that tries to blend resume and eye-test and ‘on a neutral field…’ projections. I make zero promises about consistency or coherence. You’re free to argue with my rankings, but I can’t be proven wrong, simply by virtue of how I’ve framed the exercise.
