Jon Wilner's Pac-12 Hotline: The conference should have a strong year in 2023 before many of its members leave, as evidenced by the preseason AP Top 25.
Jon Wilner The Pac-12 placed five teams in the AP preseason poll on Monday, equalling the Big Ten's total and falling one short of matching the SEC's contingent.
People are also reading… 1. Georgia: The two-time defending national champions have a new playcaller , a new starting quarterback and new offensive tackles. But they are absolutely loaded everywhere else and have a stockpile of blue-chip recruits across the depth chart. Kirby Smart's second unit would be worthy of a spot in the top 25.
5. Alabama: Outside the top two in our preseason rankings for the first time since we used a typewriter, the Crimson Tide has reached a tipping point under Nick Saban. Is a backslide coming, or will Alabama return to dominance? Much depends on filling the voids left by quarterback Bryce Young and edge rusher Will Anderson.
9. Florida State: There’s a 1990s vibe in Tallahassee as coach Mike Norvell continues to build a playoff-caliber roster. Then again, that vibe could vanish if the season opener against LSU goes sideways. Fortunately, we won't have to wait long to identify the ACC favorite: The Seminoles visit Clemson on Sept. 23.
13. Tennessee: Expectations have soared in Knoxville following coach Josh Heupel's breakthrough second season, but everything hinges on the late-October trip to Alabama and the mid-November home showdown with Georgia. Win at least one, and the Vols could return to the New Year's Six. 17. Oregon: It has been years since expectations in Eugene were as low as they are for Dan Lanning's second season — and yet they aren't really that low. The Ducks are perfectly capable of winning one of the toughest leagues in the land. We wonder about the retooled offensive line and a defense that stumbled repeatedly down the stretch last season.
21. TCU: We don't expect everything that went right for the Horned Frogs in 2022 to go wrong in 2023. But some things will go wrong, and that should be enough to pile a few more losses on their ledger.
