PAC 12 Thread v6.0

It will be interesting to see the transitions from the air raid to the run and shoot offense he emphasizes a lot vs the PAC defenses out there. Like Leach's offense, your passing the ball... ALOT.... and aggressively. You can gas defenses quickly trying to keep up with the pace, but it's also a very high risk for INTs kind of offense.

He's an interesting hire by the Cougs. We'll see how well he recruits and where he's at around 2022 when it's make or break time for his program. He'll need a good DC, that's for sure. It's a difficult time to trying to install a new staff as this is a late hire. He's probably going to have to go to the well to fill out all the assistants spots.

Rolovich seems like a decent guy, and will be a big improvement when it comes to dealing with the media and boosters for the Cougs. He interviews well and also think he ends recruiting better than Leach in the long run, but gonna need a year or two to get really firing.

Amazing how you kept posting the 30 points or less streak last year...then when Oregon broke that you've moved the goalposts yet again.

No kidding, the best RB in the conference still won’t get his 20 carries a game like he should.

One person makes a ballot:
NORTH
1 Oregon
2 Cal
3 UW
4 WSU
5 Stanford
6 Oregon State
SOUTH
1 USC
2 ASU... etc

Someone else makes one with UW tops in north and oregon second, but still has USC first in the south.

Of those two ballots USC would be the overall conference favorite when no one asked if any media would take either oregon or UW over USC in a final.

It's entirely jaded to putting up a pick on a weaker division at least perceptually.

AG, he's only picking this because he know the media will pick them heavily from the north because UW has a new coach, if for no other reason, while USC, ASU, and Utah will each have some votes (a lot of the media are flat out retarded).

The reason he won't accept any other type of poll or pick is ones that attempt to figure out who they like head to head in a championship game, or will finish higher ranked don't favor his narrative this year. They attempt to figure out who is most liked overall, not just from a division. They are less valid to him.

They absolutely vote separately on the conference champ. Did you even read the article?

You're a moron. Read the article with the explicit vote for a conference champ.

You can't have UW, Oregon, AND Utah in a head to head vote. They aren't picking a div winner and then picking the champ. Their voting worked well before we had divisions. Since then they have been horrible because the format sucks. And it will suck no matter how that broken vote plays out this year or next.

That is exactly what they are doing. There are 2 separate votes.

Voting for division winner:
SOUTH
Utah (33)
USC(2)

NORTH
Oregon (17)
Washington (17)
Washington St (1)

Voting for P12 Champion:
Utah (12)
Oregon (11)
Washington (9)
USC (2)
Washington St (1)

Notice how the vote numbers for Utah, Oregon, and Washington are different?

Just admit you were wrong, and move along.

It's a straw poll you twit. It's not what I'm saying at all. And it doesn't work. look at their accuracy at predicting before we had divisions, and since. Share with the class how many times they have been right in the last 12 polls.

The fact is because it's a straw poll 2/3 of the media picked a team from the north. If they did it after their ballots and went head to head on the winner of each it would be a direct vote for conf champ. A straw poll is not the same thing.

You won't accept that it's a bad way to pick the conf favorite despite the fact it is seldom correct now. The straw poll worked well when there weren't divisions. It's dumb with them. Several of them have pointed that out. They need to have a separate vote for champion after they pick the divisions. Their accuracy would improve.

One Pac12 team in this too early top 25.

That same team is also in the top 5.

Color me surprised....

hawaii's leading rusher had 11 games of 10 or more carries. 4 of those over 15.
borghi had 6 over 10 and only 2 of 15

he may not get what you want of him but he should get more.

Rolo isn't a dummy. Run and Shoot is a massively pass biased scheme, but he knows he'll have to dial up more run plays than Leach did, especially these next two years as the program transitions away from the air raid schemes. Cougs will be running the ball more going forward. Absolutely.

USC Reportedly Fires 3 Athletic Department Officials After Admissions Scandal

USC might have a plan after all.

Mike Bohn's plan: Clean up USC's athletic department before tackling football

For those who don't want to click...

He wants to clean up the entire athletic department. Hence, the 3 folks who got fired the other day. There may be more coming.

Apparently, he didn't want to have a new coach coming and the media asking him a bunch of questions he wouldn't have the answer to.

Additionally, the $20 million dollar buy out was a factor as well. But ultimately, the idea is that Helton gets 1 more season (at least it's unlikely that there would be any scandals). Then, if the team doesn't meet expectations (believed to be winning the PAC Championship), he's fired and having cleaned up the athletic department, they will be able to attract better coaches.

Also, Urban Meyer apparently is not and never will be considered. They don't want anyone with integrity issues.
