College Football New's Pac 12 Bold Predictions

[Quattro]

UA isn't a great matchup, or at least it wasn't for Baer. But then again, that was everyone except Hawaii last year. Phil Steele has them at ~10 spots higher than us this year and finishing 5th in the conference. An interesting stat about UA is the amount of close games they won last year, 6 of them. Only Florida State had more at 7. We were basically polar opposites from them at 4 close losses.

UA lost 4 of their top DBs. We should at least be able to pass on them pretty well.

Can our defense stop, or at least slow down, Nick Wilson? That has to be the primary concern for that particular game.

So for the South...

UA: 7-5
ASU: 7-5
USC: 8-4
UCLA: 11-1
UU: 7-5

If USC goes 8-4 Sark should be looking for a new job. I still think we beat either OSU or WSU on the road this year along with a win at home.

I don't care how much talent UCLA has, and they do have talent. They are one of the great programs in the country for choking away great seasons. They won't finish 11-1.

There is still the matter of MM's lackluster recruiting. In today's college football, the big boys aren't just going to ask if he won, but how well he relatively recruited.

Which is why Florida hired Sparkles!

UCLA will not be that much better than the rest of the South. If they couldn't go 11-1 with Hundley...who the f thinks they can do it with whoever starts...Neuheisel?

I think the writer got to the end of his word allotment and realized he didn't know anything about Colorado.

FIFY!

Rosen, the number one QB recruit in the nation who enrolled in January. Go watch the spring game, he seems legit.

Don't doubt you. I just don't think a newbie can lead a P5 program to 11 wins his first season. 11-1 will never happen.

I could see it with a mobile QB in a run offense. Hard to imagine a pro style offense being able to have that level of success with a frosh behind center. UCLA is pretty loaded this year, though. OL and DL, especially.

 

[FChairbanks]

I hate it when FC is right, but he nailed it here.

so you're acknowledging that I've been right on other occasions...
