In looking at the Pac-12 North, first-place votes were split 17 each between Oregon and the Washington Huskies. The Ducks will travel North to face Washington this season. Stanford ranked third in the Media poll with Washington State, California and Oregon State rounding out the Pac-12 North.
California has some work to do on Offense after ending last season with a good Defense, ranked 15th in the nation. Their Offense was downright offensive at 115th. While the Golden Bears picked up 81 points in the poll, Oregon State saw less than half with 38 points. It is clear who will decide the North Division this season.
