RB LeMichael James and the Oregon Ducks are favored to win the Pac 12 championship. The Pac 10 has added two teams to become the Pac 12. Utah joins the conference from the Mountain West and Colorado joins from the Big 12. At least the Pac 12 had the decency to change their name unlike the Big Ten which now has 12 teams and the Big 12 which has 10 teams now. The addition of the two teams has caused the Pac 12 to form two divisions and allow them them have a championship game. Washington, Washington St, Oregon, Oregon St, Stanford, and California make up the Northern Division. USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona St, Utah and Colorado make up the Southern division which we will cover in a different article.
Robert Griffin and the Baylor Bears look to go to consecutive bowl games out of the tough Big 12. In my last article I discussed the top 5 teams in the now 10 team Big 12. Now I will discuss the other 5 teams. Though they aren’t as talented as top tier teams, teams like Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas St are talented enough to play spoiler and surprise some teams.
