If we lose to Boise I'm tuning out the Huskies and turning my attention to the Mariners as they win the ALCS and waltz thru the world series
I think both Utah and Arizona may take steps back. Utah had all that coaching turnover on the defense and lost their good edge rushers, plus their offense is still shit. Arizona was really fortunate last year to beat Cal and UW, and it sounds like Rich Rod and Solomon are having problems this offseason. Az also lost 6 starters on defense.Sept. 4 – at Boise State (Fri.) -- L 20-23
Sept. 12 – Sacramento State -- W 38-30
Sept. 19 – Utah State -- W 52-17
Sept. 26 – California -- W 48-47
Oct. 8 – at USC (Thu.) -- W 14-10
Oct. 17 – Oregon -- L 20-49
Oct. 24 – at Stanford -- L 17-24
Oct. 31 – Arizona -- L 24-40
Nov. 7 – Utah -- L 20-21
Nov. 14 – at Arizona State -- L 12-52
Nov. 21 – at Oregon State -- W 52-16
Nov. 27 – Washington State (Fri.) -- W 32-28 (We are back!)
We're going bowling boys!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I think Stanford wins the North, but Oregon will be right there.Good chit @BallSacked.
I agree on Cal, Arizona and Utah. I also think ASU won't be as good as projected.
Stanford looked like a different team at the end of the season. I know they lost guys on defense but they could be a real contender.
The Pac 12 seems pretty wide open. UW will be a flawed, average team. The question is if they can maximize the mediocrity to 8-10 wins (like Arizona last year) or if they win 5-7.

Awesomed for "maximize the mediocrity" phrase lol

In the south, I could see each of the Az/LA schools going on a run and winning it or being a so-so 7-5 squad, I'm going to be a homer and pick my Bruins to win it. They have the fewest questions and easiest schedule, but having a true Frosh at QB not ideal. Obv.
Agree on ASU. I think Bercovici will be solid, but they were truly dangerous offensively with all the option things that Kelly did at QB. That's not Bercos game. He's more of a pocket passer.
I don't think any Pac12 team threatens for a playoff spot. I also think the Conf takes it in the teeth out of conference:
ASU vs A&M in Houston
Oregon vs Sparty
Stanford/SC vs ND
Cal going to Texas
Beavs & Utes take on Harbaugh
I anticipate the league goes sub .500 in those games. May only be favored in about 2 or 3 out of those 7 games. Sven FagJ and Barrack Obannon will be insufferable with P12 hate this year. Cook it.

This is exactly right. I've been thinking that there is no reason Petersen can't do what Rich Rod did at Arizona. He didn't have a proven QB and lost Kadeem Carey. Their D in 2013 was middle of the conference. Yet they managed to win the south and go 10-4. And they've been top 26 in SRS three years in a row. Recall the year before they had Denker at QB who was terrible to begin with but improved during the second half of the season.

Rich Rod was very lucky last year. Az was a Hail Mary and @TheChart away from 8-4.

You really feel that this team is average? I see an horrible offense and probably an average defense. Am I missing something or is the rest of the conference really that bad. We lost a lot of talent.

The conference is going to be down this year. New quarterbacks everywhere except for USC, Arizona, and Cal
