First: As I have already declared, I like Stanford to win the PAC-12 this year, but in all honesty I have made that same prediction every year for the past decade. In all neutrality though, most everyone agrees that the Cardinal have the best offense in the conference, and playing in the offensive era that football now finds itself in certainly bodes well for Stanford. That being said, U Dub, U$C, Utah, Arizona, and Oregon will all be tough again this year, and Chip Kelly did move to Westwood. So, “like sands through the hour glass”, this conference remains absolutely loaded at the top.
