The Pac-12 joins the SEC and the Big 12 with multiple teams still in the College Football Playoff hunt, and yes, that includes two-loss teams. This conference is loaded with talent and teams who have racked up quality wins all over the place.

And it makes our Pac 12 Power Rankings very tricky to do to a point.

Yes, it’s clear who belongs at the bottom and who belongs at the top. It’s also clear who belongs near the top based on their status in the national championship race. But there are still lots of ways these power rankings could go.

Obviously, a lot of the Pac-12 season has yet to be decided. Oregon stands out as the powerhouse, but then there’s two-loss UCLA, who is first in the South, and there are the two Arizona schools, Arizona and Arizona State, with two losses each. Both need UCLA to lose to win the Pac-12, and they also play each other this weekend.

Talk about drama.

So it is safe for us to say that these rankings could drastically change over the next two weekends, as they have all year in the Pac-12. This is what this conference does on a yearly basis: beat each other up.

And with more blood expected to be shed, here are our Week 13 Pac 12 Power Rankings.
