The life of a West Coast college football fan is one often spent waiting. Most years, patience is required as the Pac-12 tries to produce a legitimate national championship contender. In all likelihood, the Big 12 will not have a team in the playoff, which should give Pac-12 fans a little hope for the prospects of a 7-0 champion sneaking into the CFP. The Pac-12 needs Florida and Georgia to each end up with two losses, which now seems possible. USC fans who did not spend all of last season lamenting Pat Haden's decision to pass on Ed Orgeron can take their victory lap.
