i like that the huskies FANS are over confident

There is zero chance Petersen will let any of his players heads get too big. He has a long history of teams/players being in the national spotlight and keeping them focused on the next game and job at hand.

It's hard not to like UW for the north. Soft schedule again, ford with an unknown level of offense right now, leach's teams always finding ways of losing to teams they really shouldn't even after beating quality teams, and ducks in full rebuild mode.

USC is fully loaded for a run. Not only should they just murder the south, but they likely are a high favorite for a playoff run. UW has the better coach IMO, but USC has way more talent. UW has to stay healthy to make a stab at it while USC has a lot more margin of error with deeper backup talent.

Kinda early to tell. Right now I give Washington the edge up north because of how they did last year and I don't see a huge drop off with that coach .Never count out Shaw and Stanford. I think they will challenge the Huskies. I think Oregon could pull off a couple wins people dont expect. I still need to see USCs O line and whos on the D line. The skill players are the best in the conference and the QB is a stud. Complacency against lesser opponents is always a worry with USC teams. UCLA always seems to do the least with the NFL talent they have. UTah is a sure bet to have a good defense but doesn't usually ever have the offense to put them over the top.

My money is on Washington vs. USC in the Pac12 championship game. I think USC wins it this year.

Washington over Utah to clinch their playoff spot.

Utah has the best defensive coordinator in football, unfortunately he is the head coach. Every year he raids the offense to bolster the defense more. Any athlete that could go either way will be on defense every time. He builds teams that are destined for 2-3 in the south. Whittingham will keep scapegoating the offensive coordinator while leaving the cupboard bare. He has already moved the top two receiving options this year. Caleb Repp is now a DE instead of a TE, and Tyrone smith is now a 6'5" CB

Hell, Whittingham and Kingsbury ought to get together and trade off. Coach GQ raids the defense for players.

I'm not familiar with other teams rosters but at USC there's always a player or two that was recruited as one thing and turned out playing something else.
Some recent ones
Marquise Lee- was supposed to be a DB/CB but kept picking off and holding on to passes the coaches thought
he might make a good WR
Adoree- Some thought his primary spot should be on the offense

Darnold- was a QB and Linebacker in HS and was getting recruited mainly as a LB at USC till he told them he'd like to be a QB

Some make sense, Chase Hansen was a QB, but he is an amazing safety. Repp and Smith are not new recruits though. Both of them had success on offense last year(Repps was short because he got hurt). It also never goes the other way, he never moves defense to offense.

Whit has a horrible bias, and he hides it by firing the OC every year. That way people just think the offense never has time to gel, but really they are always talent deficient. One day Utah will move on though and every team out there should line up to hire him as the Defensive coordinator. He is great at that.

Well at USC before Helton we had KiffSarknado who had little interest in the defense. They at least hired people who were decent at it or it would have really gotten bad.

I'm no expert on the PAC.
But does Leach have it going on at WSU so good that he's displaced Stanford???

Leach did a great job at Texas Tech with leftover players.

Leach lucked into getting the one of the best quarterbacks in the country because he had his scholarship revoked at another school and was gifted a pretty solid core group of guys. After Falk leaves will be the real test if Leach can do his 9 win deal, we already know he doesn't know how to coach in bowl games or against FCS schools.

Well
At Texas Tech
There were so many good players overlooked in the State of Texas that, if you knew what to look for and knew what you wanted, you could pick up some real gems and put a solid team together. That's what Leach did there.

I always wondered if he could do the same at WSU.
