9. Washington Huskies: The Jake Locker era in Seattle is underway but the Huskies QB has too much weight on his shoulders to carry this team. The "Tim Tebow of the west" will need to stay in the pocket more this season to avoid being injured.
There is just not much talent at the skill positions for U-dub to have a successful season. The rebuilding defense has lost many starters along with coming in at 107th in the nation in pass defense; this is not good in a pass happy league.
Combine the above factors with a killer schedule (at Oregon, Oklahoma, BYU its first three games) and you have a recipe for disaster.
Key Position: Defensive Secondary
Predicted Record: 4-8
10. Stanford Cardinal: The Pac 10 bottom dwellers are most likely going to stay put for another season. The offensive attack is sub-par at best at this point and the Cardinal are another Pac 10 team with no solid answer at QB.
The upside is Stanford does have an experienced defense which was top ten in the nation in tackles for a loss. The work of coach Harbaugh just wont be enough this season, but if they can take down USC two years in a row, that may be good enough.
Key Position: QB
Predicted Record: 3-9
The 2008 Pac 10 season looks to be a competitive and exciting one, good luck to all the teams of the Conference of Champions.
