By Team:
Arizona: 2 First team offensive players in juniors RB Carey and WR Hill. The team has very little talent elsewhere.
ASU: 1 First team offense, 2 First team defense. ASU has good depth with near misses that would make a 3rd team QB Kelly, TE Coyle, RB Grice, DT Hood, CB Irabor, S Darby.
Cal: 1 Second team defense. Could be a rough year, but RB Bigelow is a major sleeper who will be due for a monster year.
Colorado: 0 players made a team. But they do have some young players that should start to emerge as playmakers
Oregon: 3 First Team Offense, 2 Second Team Offense, 1 First Team Defense, 2 Second Team Defense. Oregon will be ushering in the year of Black Mamba, but the big time sleeper is the TE Lyerla who is a monster.
Oregon State: 3 Second Team Offense, 1 First Team Defense, 1 Second Team Defense. The surprise PAC-12 team will be strong again next year. Sophmore RB Storm Woods is another of the crop of emerging RBs
Stanford: 1 First Team Offense, 1 Second Team Offense, 3 First Team Defense, 4 Second Team Defense. Stanford will once again have the best D in the PAC-12. If they can find someone to get the ball to on offense they will have another great year.
UCLA: 1 First Team Offense, 2 Second Team Offense, 1 First Team Defense. An embarassing bowl game exposed UCLA's lack of defense. Without Franklin, QB Hundley is a very talented player but without immediate help will have a rough year.
USC: 1 First Team Offense, 1 Second Team Offense, 2 First Team Defense, 1 First Team Defense. The Post-Barkley era begins. Offense should be able to roll with RB Reed and WR Lee. Defense should be improved.
Utah: 0 players made a team. Utah will be in for a rough year, espicially with no apparent quality QB.
Washington: 1 First Team Offense, 2 Second Team Offense, 1 Second Team Defense. Coming off a dissapointing year, they will succeed or fail based on whether QB Price can bounce back.
Washington State: 1 First Team Offense, 1 First Team Defense, 1 Second Team Defense. Some freshman played well for this team, but they are still a long ways off.
UNIT RANKINGS
Offense
1. Oregon -as usual
2. Arizona State - bit of homerism, but with their returning players IMO they have less questions to be answered
3. USC - Max Wittek didn't look good in his debut, but too much talent on the offense
4. Oregon State - Losing Wheaton hurts, but Riley has quietly assembled the next gen of Beavers with WR Cook and RB Woods. If QB Mannion or QB Vaz can find consistency, could be a top offense.
5. UCLA - QB Hundley has an NFL future and just needs some players to play with
6. Washington - Does QB Price bounce back? If he does, Huskies can be a top 3 offense
7. Arizona - Rich Rodriguez's RB is getting charged with domestic violence. If he loses Carey, Arizona is in major trouble.
8. Cal - Sonny Dykes knows offenses and there is more talent on Cal then people realize with a senior QB, RB Bigelow and two young WRs in Chris Harper and Treggs.
9. Stanford - Pretty void of returning WRs, TEs and RBs that have proven themselves. QB Hogan is undefeated as a starter.
10. Washington State - Amazing a Leach team with so many passing yards can't score more.
11. Utah - Everything depends on the development of Travis Wilson. A RB sure could help.
12. Colorado - Reigning champions of worst offense. 3rd time in a row?
Defense
1. Stanford - Harbaugh's recruits return for one more season. Just a ton of upperclassmen talent on every level of D.
2. USC - They lost a key cornerback early to the draft, but the pieces are in place for a dominant defense
3. ASU - similar to the offense, all the key players return
4. Oregon - Lost key players in the front 7
5. Oregon State - Losing Poyer hurts, but I don't see a D better left
6. Washington - Sarkisian has added a lot of young players that are just now emerging on the depth chart
7. UCLA - A defense that failed to show up at times (see Bowl game), Mora has loaded up some young talent
8. Washington State - Leach with a defense? If his offense doesn't shoot the D in the foot, they should be decent
9. Cal - Some talent to build around, Secondary will have a lot of new faces
10. Arizona - They were an awful D, but are returning every starter. Good thing or bad thing?
11. Utah - We will see how the D holds up without a top D-Line
12. Colorado - Reigning champions of worst D. 3rd time in a row?
