Interesting that nobody picked Arizona to with the South, when they've actually got the best QB/RB combination in the division, have arguably the best coach, and were the only team to beat Oregon in 2014.

In other news, the Beav is picked last in the North. I'm not buying it. They're going to surprise some people. I'm going out on a limb and predicting 4-5 in conference, 6-6 overall.

Maybe writers want a new story so they're picking against last year's champs? Interesting that the North and South winners finished #1 & #2 at the bottom of the time of possession standings. You'd figure Solomon improves on an impressive Freshman year and their offense should be solid despite losing 3 Oline starters, but the D is a legit question... their secondary was regularly toasted & burnt. Things broke right for them winning six games by a touchdown or less. Their overall points differential per game was +6.3... Oregon's was +21.8. Their defensive unit lost 5 starters. I can see the writer's angle
