There used to be 10 conference championship games in FBS college football, but with the PAC-12 being reduced to just two teams, there is no longer a formal championship game for that conference. The lone remaining members of the "PAC-2" - Oregon State and Washington State - played in an informal conference title game last week with Oregon State prevailing over Washington State 41-38.
