College football’s biggest day unfolded as expected for the Pac-12, with Washington claiming the No. 2 seed in the playoff pairings, Oregon grabbing a spot in the Fiesta Bowl and the other six matchups falling into place without controversy.Instant reaction …1. The right team won the Pac-12 championship game in order for the conference to break its playoff drought.Given developments in the SEC, the Hotline believes Oregon would have been left out of the playoff if the Ducks had defeated Washington on Friday night in Las Vegas.We’ll never know, of course. But based on the selection committee’s rankings and reasoning, it sure seems like Alabama was headed to the semifinals after beating the No. 1 team (Georgia) in its backyard (Atlanta).And if the Crimson Tide was in, Texas had to be included because of its head-to-head victory in Tuscaloosa.That would have left one spot — for undefeated Florida State.As the Pac-12 champion without a victory over Georgia,...
