The Pac-12 may be in a state of disrepair around them, but Oregon State is still setting their sights on a strong campaign, as just like in the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Beavers were ranked as the #18 team in the country heading into the 2023 season.
The Beavers are coming off a strong 10-3 outing, which included a three-game win streak to begin the 2022 campaign and winning seven of their last eight contests overall, including knocking off then-top ten ranked rival Oregon and blowing out Florida in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Along with Oregon State, the other four Pac-12 teams mentioned in the poll were #6 USC, #10 Washington, #14 Utah and #15 Oregon.
