The Pac-12 season unofficially kicks off on Thursday and Friday with Pac-12 Media Days, which will take place at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif.
It's sure to be an exciting season in the Pac-12, with a stacked South that any one of five teams could win. USC and UCLA could have their best combined seasons in years, while Arizona and Arizona State are hot on their heels -- the Wildcats are the division champions last season. Even upstart Utah could be a contender.
In the North, it's all about Oregon and Stanford again. The Ducks are fresh off a national title game appearance, but must replace Heisman winning quarterback Marcus Mariota. Coach Mark Helfrich is sure to get a lot of questions about potential Mariota replacement and graduate transfer Vernon Adams, who is not yet on campus. The Ducks' main challenger, Stanford, had a down 2014, but with a lot of talent returning, the Cardinal could again top the division.
