The Pac-12 Thread....

The big two games for the Cardinal are still going to be the obvious 2...USC and Oregon. If you think about it, they have the exact same schedule as last year, and they blew away almost every team by a huge margin. In my opinion, the two games that could have a different outcome are Cal and Notre Dame. Those were the only other two close games. Usually, you can expect a team with a young QB to give one away also, so who knows. However, the run game I think will be even better, and the defense will be better too. I think this year the secondary finally improves a bit, and our front 7 may be one of the top groups in the nation. I think a likely ending record is 10-3 (including bowl game). Could be better if they continue to get the best of USC and can not drop a close game, but I don't see them having an answer for Oregon still. That is just a very bad matchup for them.
