He’s also using the transfer portal effectively. UCLA should have a good team in 2021

Yeah. USC should win the South (they'll be favored to anyway)...but UCLA may give them a run for their money. ASU too.

I think USC will be the favorites but I wouldn't be shocked if UCLA, ASU or Utah were able to win it. I think the south is going to be the tougher division next year.

Utah is probably a year away. But they always play us tough. So, they could actually decide who wins the South without winning it themselves.

Utah's season rides on whether they can find consistency at the QB position IMO. They have a ton of transfers coming in and it will be interesting to see who wins the job.

Yeah, I think the North is Oregon's to lose. The Huskies are going through a transition, Stanford has dropped off a bit, the Cougs are, well...the Cougs and Oregon St. will likely play some teams tough, but aren't really a threat.
Cal is interesting. They seem like they should be good enough to give your Ducks a bit of a challenge, but something seems to be missing with them. They are starting to remind of the Cal teams during the Pete Carroll era. Seemed like most years, folks would predict that they would be the team to take USC down, but it never really happened for them.

I still think the North comes down to Oregon and Washington. If Oregon can figure out the QB position (whether it's Brown or Shough or Thompson), I think they will end up winning the division. However, I think the Huskies drop off will start in 2022, they have a ton of starters back for 2021.
I agree with you 100% about Stanford. This was Stanford's year to make a run IMO and they had a pretty good season given all the difficulties they had around COVID and practicing. But I do think they are going into a rebuilding mode next year. Like you said, Cougs and Beavs won't be terrible and will be capable of an upset. However, they won't win the division.
Cal is interesting. They are starting to recruit better (finished 3rd in the PAC in 2021 behind Oregon and USC). They've moved into the 2nd tier in PAC recruiting (with UCLA, UW, ASU, Utah) from the 3rd tier (Oregon State, Wazzu, Arizona, Colorado). Their defense has given Oregon fits the last two seasons but the Ducks now have their DC. IMO Wilcox is a great defensive coach and they will continue to give people fits on that side of the ball. He's a great evaluator so they have a more talented team than their recruiting ranking would suggest.
Cal's big issue is on the offensive end. They need to get more explosive offensively if they want to be a contender in the North, rather than just a team that could upset a contender.

He had a rough end to the season and Oregon started working transfer Anthony Brown in. With Brown returning and Ty Thompson coming in, I think Shough saw the writing on the wall. I wish him the best though.

Harrell needs to put Slovis under center. Harrell being stubborn is the reason Stepp left. They had a disagreement about the running games inefficiency and Harrell told Stepp to walk. Stepp chose the portal I think he does well for the buskers. Stepp was right tho running out of the shotgun all game is killing Sc’s running game. Brandon Campbell showing flashes in spring camp so far. But I don’t have high hopes for the running game next season.

The North is Oregon and Washington in a toss up. UW has nearly their entire back. Their defense is going to be the best in the league. Problem is QB. Morris is the incumbent but if they get more than 10,000 in Husky Stadium they will all be chanting for Sam. Sam will easily be the most talented QB in the conference, but as nearly all true freshman they lose games they shouldn’t. As for us, we return all the starters (including the best RB and RT)so we should be better than last year, it’s just we aren’t sure on De Laura and Hector with their off field issues and suspensions. We got the dude from Tennessee that no one can pronounce and then my favorite Cooper. If Borghi stays healthy we might be among the league leaders in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Just depends on the signal caller. But with Hector indefinitely suspension over a bogus charge that every student gets over there then I don’t know. He is a playmaker, hence why he is the highest defensive prospect God’s team has gotten on campus.

I figured SC would have been outside the top 15 because of it's dismal of a class in '20 (?).. however seeing Oregon outside the top 10 and at 14 nonetheless, surprises me.
