Final Pac-12 football standings for 2022, compared to Pac-12 preseason media vote

The preseason #Pac12 media poll failed to predict #USC’s place in the conference. The Trojans were the only team to go 8-1 in the Pac this year.

We made it. We have arrived at the end of the 2022 Pac-12 football regular season. Our rankings of the 12 teams might change based on the outcome of the Utah-USC Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night in Las Vegas, but the standings have no editorializing or analysis: They are cold, hard numbers fixed in the pages of time. Nothing can or will change them. They are set in stone.

If you had one team finishing sixth in the Pac-12 and that team finished second, you badly underrated it.

If you had a team finishing fourth and that team finished 10th, you badly overrated it.

Let’s see how the Pac-12 football preseason media vote compared to the actual order of finish.

We’ll give the media vote first and then present the final 2022 Pac-12 football standings:
