Could be wrong but was thinking the PAC just had Oregon and UW just once each to the Big Ten’s 3, with a champ. 
Regardless, I think you should probably concede that the PAC is a step behind the rest aside from the ACC minus Clemson. I can see SC coming back in the next couple years though and helping out. 

Implying I don't already know this. 

The Pac-12 is devoid of a championship contender, and realistically, none of the programs really have a chance to become one anytime soon. Washington looked poised to, but spent the last three years getting walloped by better programs (Alabama, Barkley PSU, OSU) I think the main issue is the talent is distributed too evenly among the 12 teams. Too many average to above average teams leads to a lot of parody, especially at the top. For instance compare the talent gap of: Oregon, Washington and Utah to Stanford, UCLA and WSU vs OSU, Wisconsin, PSU to Rutgers, Illinois, and Northwestern. The coaching carousal the last 6 years didn't help either and California (the only talent hub) is getting pilfered by non West Coast teams year in year out.

It's always been a flyover-state-circlejerk.

Who cares about Utah or AZ state lol?

I could see Oregon and Washington being a moderately interesting matchup. Utah is more of a flyover state than Pennsylvania or Michigan though.

No one cares about the Pac12 but this forum has always been B1G posters fellating each other.

You conveniently left out Oregon State and UCLA from the Pac-12 lol
