For each of the conference Predictions I will put in both the Predicted Finish according to Win-Shares, as well as my own personal predictions (which are largely very similar).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pac 12\u00a0Win-Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n

North<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oregon – 7.96 (5.63)<\/p>\n

Stanford – 7.58 (5.38)<\/p>\n

Washington – 7.64 (4.92)<\/p>\n

Washington St – 5.72 (3.4)<\/p>\n

California – 4.72 (3.1)<\/p>\n

Oregon St – 4.65 (2.81)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

South<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UCLA – 8.78 (6.54)<\/p>\n

So California – 7.87 (5.89)<\/p>\n

Arizona – 7.56 (4.85)<\/p>\n

Arizona St – 6.53 (4.25)<\/p>\n

Utah – 6.3 (4.06)<\/p>\n

Colorado – 4.77 (3.17)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UCLA over Oregon in the Championship game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the North it appears to be a 3 way race (which much of the media is predicting) between Washington, Oregon, and Stanford. In the South it will come down to UCLA and Southern Cal. Utah takes a significant drop as does Cal after losing the focal point of their offenses.<\/p>\n

Simplified Football Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

North<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stanford = 10-2 (7.2)<\/p>\n

Oregon = 9-3 (6-3)<\/p>\n

Washington = 8-4 (5-4)<\/p>\n

Washington St = 6-6 (4-5)<\/p>\n

Oregon St = 4-8 (2-7)<\/p>\n

California = 4-8 (2-7)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

South<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UCLA = 10-2 (8-1)<\/p>\n

USC = 9-3 (7-2)<\/p>\n

Arizona = 8-4 (5-4)<\/p>\n

Utah = 7-5 (4-5)<\/p>\n

Arizona St = 6-6 (3-6)<\/p>\n

Colorado = 3-9 (1-8)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UCLA over Stanford in the Pac 12 Championship game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SF has\u00a0Stanford finishing ahead of Oregon in the North and the same outcome in the South (UCLA over USC). SF doesn’t have Utah falling as far and still making a bowl game at 7-5. The rest is pretty much as the Formula thinks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is 8 bowl teams for the\u00a0Pac 12<\/p>\n

Fiesta Bowl \u2013 UCLA\u00a0(Playoff)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rose Bowl – USC<\/p>\n

Alamo Bowl – Stanford<\/p>\n

Holiday Bowl – Oregon<\/p>\n

Foster Farms – Washington<\/p>\n

Sun Bowl – Arizona<\/p>\n

Las Vegas – Arizona St<\/p>\n

Cactus Bowl – Washington St<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
