It was just a bit of subtle irony. The history suggests that PAC-12 teams lose their bowl games because they have a hard time recovering from losing the championship game. This harms the conference's reputation. Yet a driving reason for the decision to expand to 12 teams was to have enough teams for a championship game. There's nothing wrong with having such a game -- it's great; but we may be seeing an ironic unintended consequence of the decision. That's all.
