Stanford looks like the team to beat in the Pac-12 North with Luck returning and throwing to Owusu and the Skov brothers at LB.

Oregon has too many distractions but has talent. Chip and Phil got it going.



Washington has no proven QB and their success will ride with the offensive line and Polk. No RB depth as I've heard Jori Folgelson has a concussion. No depth at DT behind Ta amu. Trufant sucks. LB corp has no experience. There is some talent at receiver but nobody to get them the ball. Tough schedule.

Oregon State loses their star RB and DT. Not sure about how the Beavs will do as I haven't seen them since they got their asses kicked at home by the worst Pac 10 team last year.

California has lots of talent but can't win the big one and get to the Rose Bowl. Players get soft at Cal.

Washington State has a great schedule to start but has road games at UCLA, ASU, and Oregon. Two games being played at QWEST in Seattle - OSU and UW. Moos is starting to build WSU into a contender just like he did at UO. Returning QB Tuel has the best corp of receivers ever assembled at WSU per coach Levenseller, including Wilson and Karstetter. RB is a little thin but Mitz will gain yards when the pass opens up the run. The offensive line coach is good and there is some talent. Hopefully Alex Mitchell and Wendell Taiese play on either the OL or DL. Defensive secondary is good and the linebacking corp is talented led by CJ Mizell and Alex Hoffman Ellis. Got some help at DE from the JCs and still have Long. DT is the wildcard but should be improved.
