PAC-12 Football Predictions - June 26, 2012

In 2011, the PAC-10 Conference officially became the PAC-12 after adding Colorado and Utah.

Charter member, Oregon, continued its success by earning a third straight conference title.  It won the PAC-12 North with an 8-1 record and defeated UCLA 49-21 in the conference title game to claim the crown.

Stanford Football Predictions - June 22, 2012

Jim Harbaugh left big shoes to fill, and coach David Shaw was able to step into those shoes, leading Stanford to an 11-2 mark.

Andrew Luck, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, won’t be under center, which means the offense will likely take a step back. Still, I don’t believe Stanford’s luck (pun intended) will run out. The Cardinal likely won’t make a third straight trip to...
