2013 PAC 12
FOOTBALL PREVIEWS
Here is a team by team preview of the PAC 12 for the upcoming 2013 College Football season.
Oregon State College Football Betting Preview – The downfall for Oregon State is that they play in the Pac-12 North. With Stanford and Oregon to compete with, the Beavers chances at a BCS bowl are extremely slim. Mike Riley surprised everyone last year as he took a 3-9 team to nine wins in the matter of a year.
Stanford College Football Preview with Schedule and Odds – After Stanford showed last year once again that they can succeed even when stars leave, many have the Cardinal as a Top Five team going into 2013.
UCLA College Football Betting Preview – Jim Mora turned the Bruins around last year by leading them to a Pac-12 South title and a 9-5 record. Before losing their last three Games of the season, UCLA actually had their sights set on 12 wins which no one thought possible entering the season. Now, Mora will have to keep this team moving as a more difficult Schedule waits for them in 2013.
USC College Football Preview – Even after a largely disappointing season in which the Trojans went from preseason No. 1 to unranked, they are slowly creeping back into the Top 25 in a lot of early polls.
Arizona State College Football Betting Preview – The Sun Devils are set to improve once again and are being looked at by some people as a Top 25 squad. With studs returning on both sides of the ball, there’s no reason to argue that except that they couldn’t beat any team of relevance last season.
2013 Cal Golden Bears College Football Preview and Schedule – With a new coach, outlooks tend to be exciting for most teams, but the situation in California might not be one that comes to fruition immediately. New head coach Sonny Dykes, formerly of Louisiana Tech, will try and implement the same offense he had last season that led the nation in scoring.
2013 Colorado College Football Betting Preview with Odds – Colorado only had one win last year for a reason. Their offense was really bad and their defense was even worse. Losses to start the season against Colorado State and Sacramento State weren’t a good sign of what was to come.
2013 Oregon Ducks College Football Betting Preview with Odds and Schedule – Chip Kelly is gone but that doesn’t mean Oregon is suddenly going to fall off and become irrelevant. Former offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich is now the head coach which means there shouldn’t be a ton of drop off from the Ducks.
Arizona Wildcats 2013 College Football Preview – Things didn’t go well for Rich Rodriguez during his time at Michigan, but his start at Arizona has been the exact opposite with the fan base as hopeful as ever. In Rich Rod’s first season, he doubled the Wildcats win total from the previous year and got them a bowl win.
Utah Utes College Football Preview and Picks – The Utes haven’t finished with a winning Conference record since joining the Pac-12 and that will continue to be the case playing in the South unless they make some major improvements.
Washington Huskies Football Preview and Picks – After three straight 7-6 seasons, head coach Steve Sarkisian is looking to break the bubble and get the Huskies over the seven-win hump. Of course, getting to three straight bowl Games is a good sign, but when fans are hoping for an appearance in the Top 25, not so much.
Washington State 2013 College Football Betting Preview – Mike Leach’s first season at the head of Washington State could’ve gone better, but the Cougars had plenty of work to do so immediate results weren’t a given.
