Too much love for UCLA in this thread. What did they do of any significance last year that would warrant them being #1? I'll answer that question myself: Nothing much at all. I don't know who should currently sit at #1 but UCLA does not belong there.
UCLA won 10 games, finished the year ranked 16. Returns practically everyone. They return more starters than any team in conference and return a QB who is expected to be a first round pick.
Mora is a good coach, third year as a head coach which is usually the year the good head coaches make their mark. They also host Stanford, Oregon and USC.

You make a decent case for it with the exception of the QB. He's the same guy who some Stanfurd poster made the following comment about: "Hundley's ability to stare down a receiver is unrivaled. Throws a pick." He isn't all that impressive.

UCLA should be good, but . They have a bunch of starters returning, and have recruited well, but we'll see. The OL should be better, but they lost their best guy from it to the NFL. It was a dreckfest last year. I'm not sure how good it can get in a year. Maybe it's still another year away? It will be comprised of mainly sophomores and true juniors. Hundley regressed a little last year, mostly because of the OL, but as we saw with Price, getting hit a lot can cause bad habits. Their defense was not great last year. It lost three of the top 5 guys on defense too (Barr, Zumwalt, Marsh). They have recruited well to replace them, but their defense will need to take a step to be a legit title contender.
I think they win the South because they will have the luxury of losing two games. I like UCLA, but they could end up being overrated. Are they a top 10 team, or are they still a 15-25 team? It should be an exciting season, because a lot can happen. Was Oregon's late season slide a bad sign of things to come? Can UW and UCLA take the next step? Can Stanford replace Murphy, Skov, and the OL? Will anyone surprise and be somewhat of a threat (Arizona, USC, WSU)?

The most important fact I got from this poast is about Zumwalt. He will be gone? Fuck. That sucks.
ROFL... loads of you are picking UW in the top 3, and yet you claim you aren't all Doogs?
Care to share your fucktarded rankings?
Sure. Almost the same as the linked article, but I'd drop UW below Zona. You have more QB and RB questions than they do.
hth.
You really belong on eDuck. Your constant IMALOSER territory of Quooking it up is beyond sad.
12 in a row this year.
Let's make a bet shall we? If Oregon wins their 12th in a row this season in 2014 against Washington I'll light myself on fire on the Aurora Bridge. If Oregon doesn't win their 12th game in a row against Washington in 2014 you light yourself on fire?

QB is a mess until Miles comes back. It's nothing compared to Arizona's QB situation where they won't know until probably midway through the year.
And five studs at RB. I was a lot more concerned about who would replace Polk than I am about who will replace Sankey.
