Arizona State football was picked by the media to finish tied for third in the Pac-12 South. At midseason, the Sun Devils are tied for first with three others, setting up a second-half race that likely won't be settled until after Thanksgiving.
At 5-1 (2-1 Pac-12), ASU is ranked No. 17 nationally in both major national polls against a schedule ranked No. 47 nationally (Sagarin). The Sun Devils are 3-1 in games decided by seven points or less, continuing a trend of one-possession games that began last season.
