The Pac-12 season begins with Cal's matchup against Hawaii on Friday in Australia. The rest of the league will follow suit next week.
Here's how the Pac-12 blog sees the 2016 season shaping up:
Pac-12 North winner
Kyle Bonagura: There are four real options, but David Shaw's track record makes the Cardinal the pick.
Kevin Gemmell: Stanford has its share of question marks, but David Shaw has proven that he can rebuild with few transitional hiccups. Having Christian McCaffrey doesn't hurt, either.
Chantel Jennings: Washington.
