The last dance: Pac-12 sets conference record with eight teams in AP poll

This week, both UCLA and Washington State, previously unranked, hopped into the top 25 as Washington State played spoiler to Wisconsin while UCLA routed San Diego State.

The Pac 12 joins the SEC as the only other conference to have placed eight teams in a single week AP Top 25, per the Associated Press.

Through two weeks, teams in the Pac-12 hold a combined 21-4 record, albeit just one conference game being played thus far. While USC and Washington are the two Pac-12 teams in the top 10, it would be impossible to forget the Colorado Buffaloes. 

A football program with just a 1-11 record last year has now been something morphed into an top program thanks to Deion Sanders who built the team from scratch with immediate championship aspirations. That's not even the end of it though.

Then, there's Oregon, whose quarterback Bo Nix has garnered some early Heisman hype.

While it's just Week 2 and plenty of things will of course change, it goes without a doubt that this will be a competitive year for the Pac-12 and, at the very least seeing four or five teams consistently tinker around the top 25 wouldn't be unrealistic.
