Happy Tuesday Wazzu Faithful.
Keeping with tradition this week, I am going to take a look at each Pac 12 team’s 2011 schedule, to show you how I think the conference is gonna shake out. Then we will look at the final standings for each division, the Pac 12 Conference Championship Game, and the bowl slots.
If you disagree with something, you will have your chance to prove us fools wrong in our weekly Pick Em Pool that we will be revving up here in a few weeks. 46 Days until Cougar Football Saturday!!!!!!

Wow, that was a lot more information than I thought it would be. This is my realisitc view of the conference heading into 2011. Some interesting notes after breaking it all down. Colorado will be better than people expect, and may even pull a Week 4 upset in Columbus. UCLA and Cal will be downright pitiful. Honestly, I could see the Golden Bears potentially only winning one conference game. USC will start to feel the effects of their NCAA sanctions. Rick Neuheisal will be the only coach who is fired, although Tedford’s seat is getting warm. Bill Moos will break his longstanding norm of not discussing coaching contracts mid-season, and will extend Wulff after WSU knocks of UCLA to open at 4-1. Utah will break-down late in the season after playing with the big boys for all these consecutive weeks, and Utah Senator Orin Hatch will complain that the Pac 12 is unfair. UW will literally win every other week in Pac 12 play, but will roll Nevada in Las Vegas. Oregon State will start slow, but never circle the wagon in the middle of the year, like we are accustomed to. Oregon will shock the Bayou Bengals in Week 1, but will be slowed down by the grass playing surface in Palo Alto. Stanford could very likely go undefeated, but I don’t see sustained success in the Bay, as the Harbaugh Charm will start to wear off.
That’s all I have for you today Cougar Fans, make it a great Tuesday!
