Mailbag: Washington or USC for the Big Ten title(?), Pac-12 vs. Mountain West in media rights, future of the bowl system and more

The Hotline mailbag publishes weekly. Send questions to wilnerhotline@bayareanewsgroup.com and include “mailbag” in the subject line. Or hit me on the social media platform X: @WilnerHotline Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.

And if you missed it, last week’s mailbag examined whether Washington State or Oregon State was better positioned for success in the new Pac-12.

Who wins the Big Ten football championship first: Washington or USC? Both seem to be improving.
