Let's see your Pac-12 mid-season power rankings?

Mine:
1. - USC
2. - Oregon
3. - UCLA
4. - Stanford
5. - Arizona St
6. - Arizona
7. - Utah
8. - Cal
9. - Colorado
10. - Wash St.
11. - Washington

3. USC
4. ASU
5. Arizona
6. Stanford
7. Utah
8. Colorado
9. Cal
10. WSU
11. Washington
12. Oregon St.

Reasons: USC still has to prove it to me and I really like UCLA's d coordinator hire since they have a ton of talent on that side of the ball. Stanford has to play more consistent to rise to where they were a couple years ago.

3 - UCLA

Tempted to move Cal up higher, Goff is one hell of a player.

Mid-season was intentional. I wanted people to guess how teams will be at the midpoint in the season. Some teams will probably stumble out of the gate because of personnel turnover. For instance, Stanford has recruited well, but they're breaking in 9 new starters on defense. I imagine they'll be a much, much better team in week 13 than in week 1.

Surprised to see Stanford so low on these lists.

I'm surprised people are so down on a Washington team that won 8 games last year under a new head coach. I don't really follow them, so maybe they will suck, but I don't get having them last.

Washington looks like it could have some serious problems this year.

Washington is going through massive turnover at QB, OL, and defense. They play a considerably tougher schedule this year too.

That and UW was probably the least impressive 8 win team in the country.

How do you figure? Looks to me like they pretty much beat the teams they should have and lost the games you might expect. They had a tough home draw in conference and won 3 conference road games. I'm not sure what you would even consider their worst loss? Maybe Oklahoma State in the bowl game?

They just never looked very good to me considering they had so much talent on their team. Look at how many players they had drafted on defense and they only won eight games in the pac 12 north.

Their offense could end up being pretty damn good. I know Hogan is questionable, but that team has some real speed on offense finally.

Last year, a healthy Hogan was a good Hogan. I expect their offense to get significantly better, but I don't see them fielding a top 5 D again this year.
 
Stanford's offense just never seemed to fully click the last two years. It has been good at points but never to that elite level people expect. There were documented issues with David Shaw as a play caller last year as well. Maybe the skill positions take it to the next level but the o-line seems to have taken a step back. This could all change this year of course.

Wasn't their QB a bit of a headcase too?
 
OP, mid-season rankings?

1/2 - USC/Oregon
3/4 - ASU/UCLA
5 - Stanford
6/7 - Arizona/Utah
8 - Washington
9/10 - Cal/CU
11/12 - WSU/OSU
 
Stanford doesn't belong in the top 5 at all. Shaw is no Harbaugh. Their D will take a step back.

Washington is also going to suck. They have no QB, D absolutely gutted. Petersen is a legit coach though, but he has his cut out for him.
 
I wish we were in the north this year...division isn't good right now. Top 2 are, but steep drop off after that.
