Odds to Win the 2016 Pac 12 Football Championship and Pac 12 North/South Division Predictions
Pac 12 North Division Prediction
1. Washington Huskies(+360 odds to win Pac 12) – Head coach Chris Peterson heads into his 3rd season as the guy in charge of the Huskies program and he welcomes back a talented team that can enable him to take the big leap to potential Pac 12 Champions this season. Peterson welcomes back 17 returning starters from last season’s 7-6(5-4 in Pac 12) team including 9 on offense and 8 on defense. The defense is where Washington will really be dominant this season as last year’s unit ranked 13th in the nation in scoring defense at 18.8 ppg and should be even better this season. Offensively, the Huskies were a mediocre 55th in scoring offense at 30.6 ppg last season but Peterson made his name at Boise State for fielding explosive scoring offenses and he has all the talent he needs returning and incoming on this roster to make Washington one of the top 25 offenses in the nation this season. Washington’s program is really headed in the right direction under Peterson and we love Washington’s chances of winning the Pac 12 this season especially since their toughest game will be at hom against Stanford on September 30th. 2016 Projection 11-2, 7-2 Pac 12

3. Oregon Ducks(2016 Projection 8-4, 5-4 Pac 12)
4. Washington State Cougars(2016 Projection 8-4, 5-4 Pac 12)
5. California Golden Bears(2016 Projection 6-6, 3-6 Pac 12)
6. Oregon State Beavers(2016 Projection 2-10, 1-8 Pac 12)
Pac 12 South Division Prediction
1. UCLA Bruins(+450 odds to win Pac 12) – Head coach Jim Mora is an impressive 37-16 overall thru 4 seasons as head coach of the UCLA Bruins but is still looking for his first Pac 12 Championship and the school’s first conference championship since 1998. Mora should have another good opportunity to accomplish that feat this season as UCLA returns 12 starters from last season’s 8-5 team. UCLA’s defense was really subpar last season and must be better this season. They return 8 starters defensively and Mora is known as a defensive coach so he will really have to live up to his billing this season and get UCLA improved from last year’s 67th rated total defense nationally if the Bruins want to win the Pac 12 South Division and Pac 12 Championship. Offensively, the Bruins should be fine as they welcome back sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen after he won the Pac 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year award last season. Rosen has the chance to be a stud and if he avoids the sophomore slump than UCLA’s offense should be better than last season’s 28th overall unit in the nation despite only retuning 4 starters. 2016 Projection 9-4, 7-2 Pac 12
Rest of Pac 12 South Division Predictions for 2016 Season
2. USC Trojans(2016 Projection 8-4, 6-3 Pac 12)
3. Utah Utes(2016 Projection 8-4, 5-4 Pac 12)
4. Arizona State Sun Devils(2016 Projection 6-6, 4-5 Pac 12)
5. Arizona Wildcats(2016 Projection 6-6, 4-5 Pac 12)
6. Colorado Buffaloes(2016 Projection 4-8, 2-7 Pac 12)
2016 Pac 12 Football Championship Game
Washington Huskies vs UCLA Bruins- These two teams did not meet last season and don’t meet in the 2016 regular season so this Pac 12 Championship Game will really be a battle of unknowns facing each other. It should be an exciting matchup but our money has to be on Washington’s dominant defense as defense wins championships and Washington’s unit should be flat out nasty this season. Washington 27 UCLA 13
