    Pac-10/12 hasn't been won with a black QB since Rodney Peete.....chances aren't good.

    Lindquist is black?

    I can't believe it hasn't been said but Cal is too high.

    Not every redundancy on this bored bears repeating.

    Mandel is off this year. He has Utah finishing ahead of ASU in the South. I don't see UW winning hte Pac-12 North this year but would not be surprised at all if UW finished 2nd. Hope I'm wrong though and UW finishes 1st with the new QB and young secondary performing better than I anticipate.

    The nice thing is that both Stanford and Oregon's defenses should take at least a small step back this year and their WR corps aren't that deep (so we don't have to put more than 3 CBs on the field often). Ty Montgomery and Devon Cajuste are darn good though.

    The Utah pick is bold, but it actually makes some sense. ASU lost 9 starters from their defense and one of the returners missed the first week or two because of personal problems. ASU is totally reliant on Taylor Kelly. Arizona could be another team that ends up being pretty bad. They still have issues at QB and Kadeem Carey is in the NFL. Utah had a young team last year and brought in Dave Christensen who was a great OC when he was at Missouri.

    Stanford's WR's are pretty good, especially Montgomery. I expect their running game to be significantly worse though. I know have recruited very well on the OL, but losing 4 starters is never good. They lost an 1,800 yard rusher on top of that. Is there passing game going to be enough to offset that? I shouldn't be doubting them after their run, but they seem like a strong candidate to be overrated and their schedule is brutal. Road games against UW, Notre Dame, ASU, Oregon, and UCLA. I doubt any other team in the country plays 5 road games that tough. They lose at least 3 of those.

    Utah has been garbage ever since they joined the P12. Even calling it 'bold' is being overly generous.

    They have had 8 years to find a QB to replace Travis Wilson but he is still the starter.

    Mandel gets paid to not LIFPO, but anyone with half a brain knows it's way too early to tell how things will shake out. I'm expecting to see improvement with Peterman, but to win the PAC12 North, I think they're going to need help. Slingblade V 2.0 will have to be good for -2 games again, Stanford will have to struggle to reload, and the Huskies will have to end up with the kind of defense that can carry the team while the offense gels. Those things could happen, but who knows. For now, I'm in full on LIFPO mode.
