The Pac-12 has three ranked conference games tomorrow. No conference has had that many ranked conference games on the same day since 2016, and no non-SEC conference has done it in two decades

Tomorrow, the Pac-12 will see #19 Colorado at #10 Oregon, #22 UCLA at #11 Utah, and #14 Oregon State at #21 Washington State, for a total of three conference games on the same day where both teams are ranked in the AP Top 25. This has not happened in 2,527 days, when the SEC had three such matchups in Week 8 of the 2016 season (#6 Texas A&M vs #1 Alabama, #17 Arkansas at #21 Auburn, and #23 Ole Miss at #25 LSU)

The SEC pulled this feat off a whopping 5 times between 2014 and 2016, but other than that three year stretch, no conference has managed it since 2003. That was the Big 10 in Week 9 of the 2003 season, 7,280 days ago (#9 Iowa at #8 Ohio State, #13 Purdue at #14 Wisconsin, and #15 Michigan State at #25 Minnesota). We will likely see this happen more in the coming years due to conference consolidation, but the Pac-12 deserves credit for managing such a rare milestone.
