PAC-12 website shows Stanford and USC as best teams in divisions

PrintGet a load of the PAC-12's own website. When you click on the football standings, you see the standings in the two divisions with Stanford and USC on top.
Good old Larry... you're so funny! Calling this game a "championship" game is wrong by the PAC-12 standings page. Or will you guys be changing that page before the game?
After all, it's supposed to be a championship game isn't it?
Or is it?
The page shows Stanford at the top of the Northern Division.
The page shows USC at the top of the Southern Division.
So, this game on Friday night is really the second place teams from both divisions for just PAC-12 conference play.
And, if you compare the number of wins (instead of the number of losses), you find that there are no less than four other teams ahead of UCLA's 5-4/6-6 record.
These teams include Stanford 8-1/11-1, Oregon 8-1/10-2, USC 7-2/10-2, and Washington 5-4/7-5.
Overall winning percentage for UCLA is also beaten by Cal 7-5 and Utah 7-5.
How the heck anyone can call this Friday's game a "championship" is beyond me. It's the battle of the two second place teams!

If it was decided by overall record, like the NFL
Then you’ve got Stanford at 11-1 overall, and both USC and Oregon at 10-2. We obviously have the tiebreaker over the Ducks.
So it would be Stanford vs. USC in the championship game. In the NFL, you can be 0-6 in your division, but have a 10-6 overall record and “win” your division. I always thought that was dumb, but here’s the opposite and it also seems dumb.
To sum up: Pac-12 = dumb.
Obviously they made a mistake
and sort the rankings out by overall record instead of conference record.
Yeah but you have to admit that it's pretty idiotic
to have the PAC-12 website showing Stanford in 1st place in the North, USC in 1st place in the South, but neither in the CCG.
