Preseason Pac-12 Player Rankings

Anything "preseason" means the same as recruiting rankings...absolutely nothing.

When someone has yet to participate in a single practice let alone game(high school recruits) or played the first game of a new season(returning players)...it is just a guessing game that has no impact on the field.

What stood out for me though with this list is just how competitive and challenging the QB play is going to be i.e. Bo Nix is Honorable Mention!

Re: Preseason Pac-12 Player Rankings

Don't really concern myself anymore with preseason this or that.  Also not following recruiting as much, appreciate the QUACK notices, though... 

My real concern is the product on the field and the quality of coaching of the X's and O's.  We were let down tremendously last year with questionable play calls vs UW and literally zero run defense against OSU when it became clear thay was all they were going to do.  We have the horses despite the media love, but the P12 is about as stout as it has ever been in the last decade or so, making it critical to have the right guy on the sideline...

Re: Preseason Pac-12 Player Rankings

I'll add the Pac-12 media day to the list of things I don't care about this time of year. A media deal would've been about the only thing I would've cared about. 

Whatever GK said it's hard to imagine how he could''ve spun a positive outlook on the conference with no deal. 

At least the Pac could be real good this year.

I can't wait for the season to start. This is about my least favorite time of the year for sports.
