"Huskies Aim to Elevate Pac-12 Legacy in Final Big Ten Showdown"

Washington Huskies' receiver Rome Odunze believes the Pac-12 conference has been underrated in college football, as the team prepares for their final game as a Pac-12 school in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The Huskies' success this season is seen as a testament to the conference's competitiveness, with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. highlighting the Pac-12's strength based on the number of top-ranked teams.
