2017 Pac 12 South

Based on...? The real problem with ASU is they don't have an O-Line, and Barnett is basically a statue in the pocket.

Did Barnett put on 40 pounds of bad weight or something? That dude was a legit dual threat guy in HS.

Injuries decimated some teams more than others, always a wild card. We were actually fairly fortunate in that area other than Sefo in and out with various ailments. Hopefully Montez takes another leap forward in development. Offense needs to move away from so much QB power, too risky to get your QB hurt. I am going to guess we will be picked 4th next year behind USC, UCLA, and UTAH.

Well Sefo and our top OLB. And our placekicker.

Well Sefo and our top OLB. And our placekicker.

. . . and maybe our best WR.

I do hope USC game is in November

I don't know; I feel like USC is a little like us: their "WTF?" games usually happen early in the season.

Does anyone realize how much of a joke our OOC schedule is with CSU, Texas State, and UNC on the schedule?

I looked at who is coming back for CSU and they lose three of their OL starters from this season and while they return the majority of their defense, we return the majority of our offense as well.

Texas State has spent time in the Bottom Ten ESPN rankings and I think I saw a FoxSports article ranking those Bobcats in that category as well.

UNC loses their record setting QB who threw for 29 TD passes this recent season and led the Bears to a 6-5 record.

We might need to go undefeated in order to make the CFP next season.

We said the same thing back in 2014 and they ran all over us anyway. This is what scares me because we lose so many d linemen. Hopefully we are in a better place with talent and S&C but its a concern.

2017 CSU team will be its best team in several years. Senior starters everywhere. That is going to be a tough, tough game.

That new QB is going to have some good experience under his belt too.

Yup. Going to be a battle unless our D is way better than we think
