We are previewing the 2019 season already and we have some Pac-12 rankings:
2019 Conference Comparison and Expected Wins
Check out this sort-able table that allows you to dynamically change year and drill down to conference!
Arizona
Arizona is pretty set at running back and here is a preview of the position. They have top end talent and depth; which is helpful considering where they are at WR.
Arizona State
The Sun Devils get the Hythloday treatment. It's worth a read even if they are not on your schedule.
Cal
The Bears project as the top defense in the Pac-12 in 2019 in Beta_Rank and the student paper has a nice write-up on the defense.
Colorado
The Denver Post is going through the team by position group and they get in depth on a mystery position; running back.
Oregon
The lone 5 star player, according to 247, signed in the conference last season might be an impact freshman for the Ducks. You really should take the field against any Pac-12 team making the playoff this season.
Oregon State
The Oregonian is running through the most important Beavers heading into fall and you can catch up all the way at #3.
Stanford
Here is a Stanford preview from a Notre Dame perspective.
UCLA
How could the running game continue to evolve for the Bruins this season?
USC
There is a lot less experience at LB for the Trojans, but I like the unit a lot from what we saw in some limited time.
Utah
I also like the Utes to at least meet their projection this season and that includes on offense where I think all the returning production plays well.
Washington
Two Huskies entered the transfer portal at a pretty late point in the game.
Washington State
I thought this was an interesting read on Gage Gubrud, but I am still not 100% sure he's going to be the starter.
Football Thing:
These podcasts from Move the Sticks have been interesting running through scouting positions for the NFL, they could be a little more in depth, but they have good nuggets.
Non-Football Things:
This is a good book.
This is a good song.
This is good to know. I made this and it was spectacular.
