Jood says were 3rd in PacN

North:
1. Stanford: Some key losses at quarterback and on defense, but the Cardinal still have Christian McCaffrey, who comes to Seattle for the Pac-12 game of the year on Friday, Sept. 30.
2. Washington State: For all the attention the Huskies are getting this offseason, folks seem to be sleeping on Luke Falk and the Cougars.
3. Washington: Even in perhaps the toughest division in college football, UW should contend for its first conference title since 2000. Would be fun if the Apple Cup (in Pullman this year) provided some championship intrigue.
4. Oregon: A Hoke and a prayer: Ducks putting their faith in Brady Hoke to overhaul the Pac-12’s worst defense and in another Big Sky QB, Dakota Prukop, to keep the offense rolling.
5. California: The good news is Cal found a replacement for No. 1 pick Jared Goff by successfully prying Texas Tech grad transfer Davis Webb away from Colorado. The bad news is Cal found its new starter by successfully prying a backup QB away from Colorado.
6. Oregon State: It’ll be a long millennium back to relevancy for the Beavers.
