The Pac-12 South entered 2015 with a legitimate claim as the toughest division in college football, tougher than the SEC West. This might have had more to do with the SEC West faltering in bowl games than the Pac-12 South being transcendent, but the bottom-line debate was legitimate. If you lined up all seven teams […]
