The bottom of the Pac-12.
For seasons now, it’s been where Oregon State football has dwelled, as the Beavers haven’t posted a winning campaign since 2013 under head coach Mike Riley. However, with a new swing of enthusiasm in the program now that Jonathan Smith is running the show, the belief if that Oregon State would begin to make their leaps from cellar dwellers to midfield ramblers.
Apparently, the Pac-12 media doesn’t agree.
In their annual preseason poll which was released on Pac-12 media day Tuesday, the media selected the Beavers to finish 5th in the North Division with a total of 71 points gained, out lasting North Division last-place choice Washington State by just six points.
