The offseason gives us time to reflect on everything from the minutiae to the monstrous to the mundane. Given your thoughts on each Pac-12 coach’s wins, this might fall into any of those categories for you.

But we look now at the best win for each coach since he (or his team) joined the Pac-12. Agree? Disagree? Let us know here.

Rich Rodriguez | 10/2/2014 | Arizona 31, Oregon 24

By no means did Arizona accomplish every goal it had last season, but knocking off No. 2 Oregon on the road was certainly a great victory, and the best of Rodriguez’s Arizona career. Yes, he accomplished the same feat in 2013, but as the adage goes: It’s hard to get to the top and even harder to stay there. And we’re not saying that Arizona got to the top with this victory (because Oregon handed it back to them in the Pac-12 title game), but to come out and back up the 2013 performance -- especially considering the Wildcats were undefeated heading into this game -- with another dominant victory was a huge statement to the entire conference, and it was probably a harder feat than coming out and surprising the Ducks the season before.

Todd Graham | 11/24/2012 | Arizona State 41, Arizona 34

It was the first meeting for Graham and Rodriguez in the Territorial Cup, the first opportunity to establish bragging rights for the following year. And guess who walked away with that and their biggest win? Graham. This was one of the harder picks to decide on because there have been a lot of good wins for ASU -- Notre Dame last season (though the Fighting Irish were pretty beaten-up by then), the 2014 victory over No. 14 UCLA, the 2014 victories over No. 16 USC or No. 23 Stanford in back-to-back weeks. But winning this game in his first season in the manner in which ASU did put this above the rest. Because when you spend an entire offseason talking about beating Arizona and then put up 24 points in the fourth quarter of that game to come back to win, that’s one heck of a victory. "This is THE game, the most important things for us," Graham told reporters after the game.

Mike MacIntyre | 9/1/2013 | Colorado 41, Colorado State 27

Rivalries are always going to stand out in these types of conversations, but conference wins do as well (especially when it has been the team’s only one). That’s what made this decision so difficult. It came down to the 2013 Colorado State and Cal victories. But the scales eventually tipped to Colorado State because at the end of the day, Colorado fans can hang their hat on the fact that they’re still 1-1 against the Rams during MacIntyre’s career. With or without that Cal win, the Buffs’ conference record is abysmal, though the difference between zero and one in that category is significant. But for Colorado to take care of business against a rival in the first game of MacIntyre’s tenure -- that’s impressive. There was a lot of pressure there and the Buffs responded.

Jim Mora | 11/17/2012 | UCLA 38, USC 28

Though this wasn’t technically an upset because UCLA came into the game with the higher ranking, we all know that records and rankings can be thrown out the window in rivalry games. And there’s nothing like a first-year coach and a freshman quarterback taking down the team that had dominated L.A. for so long (it was UCLA’s second win in 14 seasons). And that victory tasted even sweeter when coupled with the fact that USC had shut out UCLA 50-0 in 2011 and came into the 2012 with a senior quarterback. That kind of a turnaround, that kind of a stage and a 10-point victory on top of that? Yeah, that’ll make this list as Mora’s best win. And again, UCLA has had plenty of other good victories with Mora at the helm, but ultimately the Pac-12 bloggers decided this one was a huge moment for the program, for Mora and for the conference.

Steve Sarkisian | 9/6/2014 | USC 13, Stanford 10

USC had every reason to blow this game late -- Sarkisian had been given a penalty, linebacker Hayes Pullard was ejected for targeting and Pat Haden had his weird meltdown on the sidelines. But instead of letting it all fall to waste in the waning moments of Sarkisian’s first Pac-12 game at USC, the Trojans came up big late to give their coach a conference win and snap Stanford’s 17-game home winning streak. With Stanford down three and on the 22-yard line with just under a minute to go, Leonard Williams came up with a sack on second down and J.R. Tavai came up with a sack and forced fumble on the ensuing play. USC’s Scott Felix got the ball and the Trojans walked away from Stanford with a win in Stanford fashion. Though USC managed to follow that up with the debacle at Boston College, the early victory was a wake-up call that USC was going to be successful again under Sark if there was anyone left who still had doubts.

Kyle Whittingham | 10/12/13 | Utah 27, Stanford 21

If there were ever a game early in a team’s move to a new conference that truly gave future opponents a taste of what was to come, it was this. Yes, Utah might not win every game, but opponents will be hurting after playing the physical Utah team that Whittingham fields. (Andy Staples pointed this out recently, too.) And No. 5 Stanford? They were probably feeling their bruises after the Utah defense held on the 6-yard line when Stanford was driving and more than within striking distance. “It seems to be that our thing as a team this year is toughness,” Trevor Reilly told reporters after the game. “I think that was personified there on the last stand." It was the first time any top-five team had been taken down at Rice-Eccles Stadium and gave Kevin Hogan his first loss as a starter.
