Fuck it...I'll play
Sept. 4 – at Boise State (Fri.) -- L
Sept. 12 – Sacramento State -- W
Sept. 19 – Utah State -- W
Sept. 26 – California -- W
Oct. 8 – at USC (Thu.) -- L
Oct. 17 – Oregon -- L
Oct. 24 – at Stanford -- L
Oct. 31 – Arizona -- W
Nov. 7 – Utah -- W
Nov. 14 – at Arizona State -- L
Nov. 21 – at Oregon State -- W
Nov. 27 – Washington State (Fri.) -- W
No way do I see this team winning at Boise, SC, Stanford or ASU.
Arizona and Utah both could easily come in to Seattle and get a W especially AZ coming off 3 beatings.

If Stanford wins the North, four other coaches in the North should be fired.BallSacked said:
Yeah I think Stanford wins the North, but Oregon will be right there.HeretoBeatmyChest said: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.
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.

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

9-3: losses to Oregon, ASU, and USC.

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.RoadDawg55 said:The Pac 12 seems pretty wide open. UW will be a flawed, average team.

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

That implies that the departing quarterbacks were good.greenblood said:

Hundley I never liked, but was very good for what UCLA wanted him to do
Everybody else was either average or slightly below, but most new quarterbacks do have a transition period in their first year. This is very evident especially in the OOC because it's their first live action as a collegiate player. Since conference strength is largely determined in week 3-4 after 90% of the OOC has been played, I feel the PAC 12 will be seen as weak because of the lack of experience at quarterback.
For example, Oregon beats Sparty and Stanford beats ND if they have the same quarterback play as last year. With new quarterbacks, I doubt it. Oregon won't get spanked, but they aren't winning in East Lansing without Mariota. Stanford I think will struggle as well for a while, at least on the offensive side of the ball.
