1. USC 10-2 (8-1)
The defense will shine one again; but replacing four OL men will prevent the Trojans from a BCS Title appearance.
2. Arizona St 9-3 (7-2)
QB Rudy Carpenter might be the best QB in the Pac 10 and, along with fifteen other starters; the Sun Devils should be good again this season.
3. Oregon 9-3 (6-3)
Replacing Dennis Dixon and Jonathan Stewart won’t be easy; but the schedule sets up very well for another good year in Eugene.
t4. California 7-5 (5-4)
With only thirteen starters back and uncertainty at RB and WR, the Golden Bears look destined for a mediocre season.
t4. Arizona 7-5 (5-4)
QB Willie Tuitama should put up insane numbers again in 2008. Will the defense step up and get UA over the hump?
t4. UCLA 5-7 (5-4)
QB Ben Olson is out until October so the Bruins are without a QB again. Rick Neuheisel will have to work some magic to get UCLA to .500.
7. Washington 4-8 (3-6)
Jake Locker is a special QB; think a smaller version of Tim Tebow. However, the schedule is tough and the Huskies need to avoid a 0-3 start.
t8. Stanford 3-9 (2-7)
The schedule is tough, but with sixteen starters returning, the Cardinals will look to improve on their 4 win season in 2007.
t8. Washington St 4-8 (2-7)
The Cougars have a new coach and have to replace QB Alex Brink. Can you say rebuilding year in Pullman?
10. Oregon St 3-9 (1-8)
With huge question marks at QB, RB, OL, not to mention losing their entire defensive front seven; the Beavers will struggle to do anything in 2008.
