We have made it to August, everybody. That means college football is not too far away. Lincoln Riley’s first regular-season game at USC is coming closer. Preseason camp, preseason buzz, preseason expectations are part of August.
So are preseason predictions.
Of course you’ll get game predictions each Friday during the season, looking at the ebb and flow of every team in the Pac-12. The way things look in early October will be very different from the way they look now. However, who can resist picking the whole Pac-12 season before a single game has been played?
College football fans spend their summers going over their own team’s schedule and the competition’s schedule. It is a decades-old ritual which continues even as realignment, the transfer portal, NIL, and other new realities give a modern look to the sport.
Some things still don’t change.
Let’s try to pick the Pac in the preseason. Check back here to see how loudly wrong these predictions are.
We will not include Football Bowl Subdivision versus Football Championship Subdivision games unless they involve an FCS upset victory.
