Unlike last season, there's no clear favorite in the North. The Huskies were hit hard by departures, and Oregon is on the rise again. Is there a shifting of power in the conference's dominant division?
Seven months out, there are no signs of a shift in Pac-12 power: The North should be the superior division in 2019, and perhaps, once again, by a significant margin.

The North possessed a heavy favorite in 2018, and Washington eventually emerged with its second title in three years. In contrast, the South looked cluttered from the start and only devolved into chaos.
