Teams To Pay Attention To

Since not everyone will have time to watch everything that happens with Pac-12 Media Day, here are the teams that you should go out of your way to watch:

USC

Not only will the Trojans enter the season as one of the top two or three teams to win the BCS Championship, but their lineup at this press conference is going to be fascinating. 

Head coach Lane Kiffin is always good for a quote or two about anything. Adding quarterback and Heisman Trophy favorite Matt Barkley to the mix is an added bonus for us. I am sure he will talk about how he feels about his decision to return to school now, compared to seven months ago, and what kind of pressure he feels entering the season. 

Stanford

While I am not particularly interested in the players that Stanford is sending, hearing how head coach David Shaw spins the loss of quarterback Andrew Luck is going to be fascinating. 

I like Shaw and think he will do a great job with this program, but there is a rebuilding effort that is going to take place in order for it to stay at the level we have seen the last two years. 

Washington State

Despite not being one of the better teams in the conference, Washington State became a team to pay attention to because of the addition of head coach Mike Leach. 

Everyone knows about Leach's high-octane style of offense that is going to help bring this program back from oblivion. Plus, someone is going to have to ask about Texas Tech, right?
