Auburndawg's Preseason PAC-12 Power Rankings!

Just a couple of notes for the uninitiated. These are the official PAC-12 Power Rankings and will be updated after the end of the last PAC-12 game each week. Immitation is not appreciated. Also, Power Rankings are not the same thing as the current standings, but rather reflects how well each team is playing at that moment. Strength of opponents matters. Finally, keep in mind that gaps between teams matter. With that, here we go:

Auburndawg sees two distinct tiers in the PAC to begin the season, and, unfortunately, until proven otherwise, Duckdynasty and the usurpers from Palo Alto remain on top.

1. Oregon. It burns Auburndawg's fingers to have to type that. Someone make them go away.
2. Stanford.
T3. WASHINGTON, USC, UCLA. Three teams with major talent and major coaching questions. If sanity is to return and LA and Seattle are to resume their rightful place as the centers of power in west coast football, pray that Sark, Mora and Kiffin mature into coaches worthy of these three great football schools.
T6. Oregon State, ASU. Less elite talent, but solid coaching.



8. Utah. Very little real PAC-12 talent. But these guys are well coached and not use to losing. Yet.
9. Arizona. Carey makes them dangerous

10. Cal. Remember when Tedford was a genius?




11. WSU. The only drama here is, when does the Pirate King of Poop Island implode?


12. Colorado. Still suffering a Skippy hangover.

    This is not last year. Add Tanigawa, Jamora, Callier, Riva, Kevin Smith, maybe Kohler at some point, and a year of experience to last year's team. We return more starters than anyone else.

    Sorry to be positive, but even Sark is going to have hard time screwing this team up.

    Returning starters is one of the most overrated stats in CFB. Our coaches didn't change, our talent didn't change. We just keep the same mediocre players and coaches for another year.

    Right. Because 19 year old freshmen don't improve once they become 22 year old SRs.

    IF Tanigawa and Jamora are healthy, if. This is not a strong list. Shark can't screw this up?

    Steve couldn't pull the trigger on last year's Alabama team. He'd start throwing bubble screens and other goofy short passes thee to four plays of five in the second half. He'd stop running altoghter if he got behind. That's what he does.

    Sark is a fucktarded play caller. Head scratchers appeared early 2009 and completely set in with that shit he called at Notre Dame. IMHO the Huskies have played just one "great" game under Sark, and that was vs #19 Cal at the end of the 2009 season. Unfortunately that turned out to be a complete head fake.

    I for one can't wait to see our new up-tempo offense. They will go 3-and-out even faster than the old offense. But the defense won't mind, cuz we have so much depth now. #BestPlayCallerInAmerica

    The plungers that will result will be remarkable. Should be the end of an error.

    At that point Kim will be saying "Sometimes you have to take a few steps backwards before you can move forward."

    Returning starters is a shit metric. You're an idiot fucking doog if you think UW>ASU.

    I love how doogs like AuburnDoog think a year of experience makes all the difference and like all of our players will automatically improve. The truth is some will, some won't, some guys will get injured. Newsflash Aubs, there are coaches in the Pac 12 that are much better than Sark at developing players. We aren't the only team with a strength and conditioning program and we aren't the only team that practices. Even if we do improve, there are others teams that are improving as well.

    I don't give a fuck about returning starters when other teams have 2nd and 3rd string guys who are as good, if not better, than some of our starters. Also, how is a year of experience going to change all of the issues on the road?

    Auburn simpleton never learns with his anachronistic remnant nonsense. I hear he brought down real estate value of this site 80 percent by posting his utter nonsense here

    Gentlemen, you are not being realistic. Do any of you seriously think this team won't be at least slightly improved this year? The schedule is a little easier. We were very close to 9 wins last year. It wouldn't take much improvement for this team to get to 9 or 10 wins.
