USC vs Stanford Game Preview

Why USC Will Win

It was one game against Rice, but …

Yeeeeeeeeeesh.

It took about a quarter to get up and rolling, and then the fun began as Caleb Williams did whatever he wanted, Jordan Addison caught two touchdown passes, the defense found its legs in the second half and finished with four takeaways, and it all worked in the 66-14 win.

Stanford still has to prove it has the offense to keep up.

It might have been great against Colgate, and it might have been able to take down USC last year – which led to the firing of Clay Helton and the shame-spiral of a 2021 season – but can it keep up with this?

The Trojan lines are in place, the all-star parts got their warm-up in, the defense generated three pick sixes, and …

CFN Expert Picks, Week 2

Why Stanford Will Win

For all the pyrotechnics and amazing play from the offense, there were a few moments when things weren’t perfect for USC.

It’s nitpicking – there was only one great run – but the defensive front gave up a few too many rushing yards overall, and most of the 146 allowed on the ground led to two long, drawn out first half scoring drives.

Stanford might not have the lines in place it enjoyed when it was rocking and rolling a few years ago, but Tanner McKee is a talented passer – he was sharp in the 41-10 win over Colgate – the running game was solid, and there’s going to be a big-time attitude.

You don’t think Stanford – along with the rest of the Pac-12 – is sick of hearing about USC, do you?

The Trojans now have to prove their lines are stronger and the star-power pieces really are in sync.

Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Stanford will be tough for just over a quarter.

The running game will fire up and grind early on, the defense will come up with a few big stops, and social media will scream and yell about how overrated all the Trojan hype is.

And then America will be reintroduced to Caleb Williams.

The floodgates will open, the Cardinal won’t be able to keep up the pace, and the college football world will jump on the bandwagon.

Stanford vs Colgate Game Preview

Why Colgate Will Win

The Raiders have to hold up on the lines. They should be okay in pass protection, and they have enough in place to generate a little bit of a running game, but as long as they don’t let Stanford start rolling on the ground, they might be able to hang around.

The Cardinal defense is all but starting over, there wasn’t any semblance of a pass rush, and the offense has to prove it can consistently get things moving.

Limit the turnovers, run the clock, and keep the penalties to a minimum. Colgate can do that.

But …

Week 1 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Stanford Will Win

The Colgate is – to be nice about it – lacking.

It doesn’t have the downfield passing pop, the running game isn’t anything special, and putting points on the board last year was like pulling teeth.

Stanford’s defense might be welcoming in a whole bunch of new parts, but this is the team to go against when you’re trying to work out the kinks.

Stanford should be able to take some chances, spread the ball around a bit, and yeah, the lines will be fine as the game goes on.

Week 1 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Saturday

What’s Going To Happen

Wait, what?

Stanford isn’t playing a Power Five program?

The program has played 40 straight FBS teams, and was on a run of 27 straight against the Power Five, since beating UC Davis. Now it gets to start the season with a win for the first time since 2019 with what should be a strong all-around performance.

Colgate will give it the old college try, but it won’t have the offense to keep up the pace after Stanford scores on two methodical drives to open things up.

Pac-12 Preseason Predictions For Every Game: Preview 2022

Pac-12 preseason predictions for every game, predicted order of finish, and lookahead to the 2022 season.

Forget all the monster changes, moves, and speculation about the future for a moment. This year should be a whole lot of fun for a few key reasons.

USC is going to be a blast – there’s going to be as much attention on the football teams, at least for a few months before expansion talk cranks up even more – and the divisions are going bye-bye.

There’s no more Pac-12 North and South with the goal to win the six-team division. Now the conference race comes down to who the top two teams are overall, and it should mean the season comes down to the last day of the regular season.

The schedules play a massive role.

Who misses USC? Who has to play Utah in Salt Lake City? Who has to travel late in the season, and who has to make a longer road trip? It all matters in the 2022 Pac-12 college football predictions for every game.

Pac-12 Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

Pac-12 Football Coaches Against The Spread: Who are the best and worst Pac-12 coaches when it comes to covering?

How good are all of the Pac-12 head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t.


How do all of the Pac-12 head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total?

If you like to invest, here’s the breakdown of ten of the 12 head coaches – Oregon’s Dan Lanning is in his first year as a head man, and we’re technically counting Washington State’s Jake Dickert as a first year coach since he’s going into his first full season.

One other note, with a few exceptions from the first year coaches who switched gigs – Lincoln Riley at USC and Kalen DeBoer at Washington – these stats reflect how all the coaches have done on their current Pac-12 teams.

Who covers – and sometimes more importantly – who doesn’t?

2022 Preseason CFN Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year

Caleb Williams, QB Soph. USC

It takes something special to standout among this group of Pac-12 quarterbacks, and the possible two best – throw in Washington State’s Cameron Ward, a transfer from Incarnate Word – and Williams have yet to take a snap in the conference.

Williams put on a show over the second half of last year running Lincoln Riley’s offense at Oklahoma, and now he’s joining the fun in Los Angeles with a loaded group around him. Last year he hit 65% of his passes for 1,912 yards and 21 scores with just four picks, and he ran for 442 yards and six scores. Get ready for him to take things to another level.

2022 Preseason CFN Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year

Noah Sewell, LB, Soph. Oregon

The big thumper in the middle of the Oregon linebacking corps made 114 tackles last year with four sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss with five broken up passes, an interception, and with two forced fumbles. Now there’s a chance he does even more with the talent on both sides to take over at times.

If Justin Flowe can finally catch a break from the injuries, he’s one of the Pac-12’s best linebackers, and Mase Funa and Bradyn Swinson are going to be big-time, too. Everything will flow right into the middle for Sewell to clean up.

Stanford Cardinal Preview 2022

This doesn’t make any sense.

Then again, Stanford rolling to 82 wins in the first eight seasons of the David Shaw didn’t seem to add up, either.

How could a program with no recruiting base, the toughest possible academic requirements, and without all the trappings and fans of a college football powerhouse be as good as it was for so long under Shaw?

It won on the lines, it won because it had great quarterbacks, giant receivers, and amazing running games with a style that worked over and over and over again.

Everything crashed in 2019, but the 2020 team went 4-2 – making the 4-8 previous season seem like an aberration – and all seemed okay with a 3-2 start with acceptable losses to Kansas State and UCLA, and big wins over UCLA and Oregon to go along with a road victory over Vanderbilt.

And then …

Nothing.

No points, no running game, no run defense, and a disastrous seven game losing streak when nothing seemed to go right against a schedule of all Power Five teams.

It’s this simple in 2022 – the lines have to be better.

The skill guys are fine, the secondary should be strong, and it’s not like Shaw completely forgot how to coach, but the offensive line has to be a gajillion times better, the defensive front has to take over games again, and the program needs to get its groove back.

So is this going to be be the season everything pivots forward, or will this be yet another disaster that could signal a time for a change of direction that would’ve been unthinkable not all that long ago?

Give up trying to figure this out. One big season and it could all start to try making sense again in a positive way.

College Football Rankings, Season Predictions: Pac-12 Spring Version 2022

Pac-12 spring football rankings and predictions with best and worst case scenarios for every team

Pac-12 college football rankings and predictions with the realistic best and worst case records and quick analysis – the 2022 spring version.


[mm-video type=playlist id=01f1343a1wt7q817p7 player_id=none image=https://collegefootballnews.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

It’s almost like the Pac-12 took a year off to get ready for what’s coming.

Washington certainly took a break, Stanford went to sleep after a decent start, and USC all but put out the Not Interested sign after the season was blown up  with the early firing of Clay Helton.

Arizona is improving – last year was likely a step back to take a big leap forward, even if it’s still going to take another season or so.

UCLA showed glimpses of getting stronger, Oregon State and Washington State had some fun, and Utah got to the top of the Pac-12 mountain.

This year, though, the conference looks like it’s going to improve all the way around before all the things are in place to blast off in 2023.

Lincoln Riley at USC, Oregon settling in with Dan Lanning, Washington about to crank up the O with Kalen DeBoer – the Pac-12 is going to be fun.

Where to the 12 teams appear to be this spring? How good are they?

The Pac-12 spring rankings are based on how good the teams should be and not the final projected records. Keeping in mind that this all could/might/will change when we make the final calls in August …

NFL Draft Best Picks of All-Time From Every Pac-12 School

Who are the Pac 12’s greatest NFL Draft picks of all-time? Here are the top three best picks from each Pac 12 program.

Who are the best NFL Draft picks from each of the Pac-12 programs. Which players turned into the greatest stars at the next level?


USC is as good as anyone when it comes to cranking out historic NFL draft picks, and the Pac-12 overall isn’t bad, but some programs are shockingly light.

Who were the best draft picks ever from the Pac-12 programs?

This isn’t a list of the top pro players to come from the Pac-12 schools – these are the best draft picks.

If a player had a great run for someone other than the team that drafted him, he gets knocked down a peg, or isn’t on the list at all.

The goal for any draft pick is to get a player who performs at a high level for a long period of time, so longevity matters.
