really like utah to have great chance to win the pac-12.
experience all over the field… from the coaches to the players… good depth and talent.
Bradley, I agree they should have a good year. Here is my article on their win totals: https://dailysportsedge.com/3073/2012-college-football-win-totals-utah/
Tough to see them beating both USC and Oregon (in Championship game) to win the PAC 12 though.
I think Arizona will win 7 games with a schedule that sets up nice for them and I am a believer that Rich Rod will be a perfect fit for the player personnel left here.
I also think that USC goes 12-0 this season. Oregon is the only real threat on the schedule and they get them at home. They are not likely to lose to Utah on the road with two weeks to prepare for them and the game coming the sixth week into the schedule whenever most teams are playing at their full potential without a lot of injuries.
The only game Oregon should lose would be to USC on the road. Oregon should be ashamed of themselves for setting up such a pussified non-conference schedule. If they do happen to get by USC and go undefeated on the season, I hope they will not get any consideration for playing in the National Championship with that kind of schedule and playing in one of the weaker BCS conferences this season behind the SEC and Big 12.
Good stuff here in the article, Pez, and thanks for the new links to some good blogs.
SoonerBS, I’m just not seeing Arizona winning 7 games with that defense. Offensively they will be fine. Scott should be a real good fit at QB for RR.
Other then Toledo, SC State and probably Colorado, there isn’t another “guaranteed” win on their schedule. OSU, Oregon State, UW & ASU are in Tucson, so they will win a few of those games, but @Oregon, @ Stanford, USC, @ UCLA & @ Utah will all be tough games to come away with a win.
I think Oregon and USC are going to play each other twice this year. If one of them can beat the other both times I believe that team is probably playing for the NC. Both teams are loaded this season. The Oregon D has a chance to be one of their best.
I feel, in looking at the Matrix talent trends, that Arizona is still a couple of years away. Hard to judge RR as he was a hero at WVU and a fail a UM. Coin flip IMO about Arizona. The talent has declined significantly to the point it is closer to Colorado than ASU. If there was a posted O/U at 7 for Arizona that would definitely hit a “Best Best Target” on the Under.
As far as UO sked, that is the way the game is played. As I profiled earlier in the month, BCS ranking spots go in near exact order of total wins and like records are stacked in a specific conference order. SOS is not a factor in rankings. It is by conference power perception.
Hey, Pez, if you can get Conan to do it, I’d sure like to see what his thoughts are on these totals. He doesn’t have any formulas he uses for these kinds of bets, but I don’t think I have ever seen a guy who knows the PAC 12 as thoroughly as he does on a yearly basis.
I tried to send him a PM, but his box was full, so I sent him an email. He doesn’t check his emails often, but hopefully he sees it soon.
Really like your site. for imformative… as far as utah ,yes its longshot but at 25/1 it was worth c-note…
