Instant reaction to Pac-12 developments on the field …
1. The state of L.A.
The numbers don’t lie, but do they exaggerate?
UCLA is 5-0 for the first time since 2013.
USC is 5-0 for the first time since 2006 (excluding the disrupted 2020 season).
And UCLA and USC are both 5-0 for the first time since 2005.
They are the only undefeated teams left in the Pac-12. The Trojans will be in the AP top-10 again next week, and the Bruins should enter the poll.
And yet, the resumes still feel flimsy.
