With the annual coming of Pac-12 Media Circus Days, so to comes the time to make our annual preseason picks for how the Pac-12 will finish.
Last year, I got the top half of the Pac-12 North right, but a struggling stretch run by Oregon St., which included blowing a 4th quarter lead to California, led to getting the bottom half inverted. Washington St. wound up 5th. as expected, but it was the Bears who wound up 4th, not the Beavers, who finished in last place in the Pac-12 North, instead. Oregon St. did have a better overall record than Washington St.
