Way too early 2016 Pacific Takes Pac-12 Power Rankings

Starting in 2016, Avinash Kunnath & Jack Follman will be combining their votes to bring you our Pac-12 Power Rankings.

Here is the first set for the year.

1. Stanford

AK: The Cardinal are losing a big chunk of talent on offense and defense. This should be the year they drop off right? The problem is those departures don't involve Christian McCaffrey, who should definitely be the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy.

JF: Replacing Kevin Hogan, Joshua Garnett, Kyle Murphy, Austin Hooper and a host of defensive studs won't be easy, but David Shaw has the most proven system in the Pac-12 right now.
