The Pacific West League includes every team from the Pacific Ocean to Texas in the East. The state of Texas gets split in two: five schools playing in this region, and six in the Midwest.

Rivalries here include USC/UCLA, Utah/BYU, Oregon/Oregon State, Washington/Washington State, Oregon/Washington, Baylor/TCU, TCU/SMU, Texas Tech/Baylor, Stanford/Cal, Boise State/Fresno State, Fresno State/San Diego State, Wyoming/Colorado State, etc.

Dividing the schools into each tier, SMU earned the final spot in the top group. TCU and USC had fewer wins but harder schedules.

Air Force with 29 wins, and Utah State and Nevada with 30 were also in contention. Nevada had an identical four-year record and two-year record to SMU, but played a much easier schedule. UCLA and Colorado earned the final spots in Tier II over San Jose State, also because of SOS.

If this region played out this season, I would predict Oregon to beat TCU for the championship and receive a three seed in the national semifinals. UCLA would win Tier II over Texas Tech and move up (replacing San Diego St.) And in Tier III, Oregon St would win the conference to replace Nevada.
