The USC Trojans were the preseason favorites to win the Pac-12 in 2017, and they delivered. The Trojans lost only one game in conference play all season, and beat Stanford twice, including in the conference title game, to earn the Pac-12 title.
But with the 2018 kickoff approaching, oddsmakers have their eyes a little farther North, where the Washington Huskies are -138 to win the conference championship this year. With plenty of talent left over from last year's Fiesta Bowl team—and even the Playoff squad of two years ago—the Huskies are understandably a popular pick to conquer the conference.
