The Pac-12 lost Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, but the conference should be just fine without the Oregon quarterback.
There's plenty of talent in place, especially in the South division. My preseason Top 25 players:
25. Budda Baker, sophomore, DB, Washington.
The Huskies have a habit of turning out two-way players and Baker could be next in line. As a true freshman last season, Baker started every game at safety. In the spring, he also worked at running back and slot receiver.
24. Jordan Simone, senior, DB, Arizona State.
