The USC Trojans enter this season looking for a school record 7th straight Pac 10 Title. Looking at the Pac 10 from top to bottom, it doesn’t look as tough as in previous years and once again the Trojans are picked by the media to win the conference title. Here are the rest of the standings.


1. Southern California (38) 389
2. Arizona State, 330
3. Oregon, 295
4. California (1), 274
5. UCLA, 204
6. Oregon State, 192
7. Arizona, 185
8. Washington, 139
9. Stanford, 76
10. Washington State, 61


Southern Cal at number one does not surprise me, but who gave the Bears a #1 vote? That’s a bit of a head scratcher in my opinion. I think the Arizona Wildcats with their explosive offense will be the surprise team of the conference, while UCLA will be in the bottom half. I think their #5 ranking was more of a reflection of the respect the media has for their new coach.
