Very Early Look for 2011 Pac-10 Season

Here are my Power Rankings in the Pac-10 today for the 2011-2012 season.

1. Oregon: The Ducks likely will be ranked in the preseason top five and return a lot of their Runner-Up team.

2. Stanford: Andrew Luck still returns.

3. Arizona State: Solid talent returning.

4. USC: Matt Barkley will have some nice skill surrounding him on offense.

5. Arizona: quarterback Nick Foles and wide receiver Juron Criner will have monster seasons.

6. Washington: Post Jake Locker era begins.

7. Utah: First season in Pac-10.

8. California:

9. Oregon State: Lost Rodgers and Paea

10. UCLA: Too many questions on offense.

11. Colorado: Learning curve with new head coach.

12. Washington State: Need to see something before I put them ahead of any other team.

Pac-10 Player of the Week

Nick Foles, Arizona Quarterback

Although the Arizona Wildcats were defeated by the USC Trojans on Saturday, you could hardly blame it on quarterback Nick Foles. Nick Foles was 32 of 48 for 353 yards and 3 touchdowns. He nearly overcame a 21-7 deficit to the USC Trojans but came up 3 points short. Nick Foles played a great game and should be proud of his efforts.
