With the arrival of Pac-12 Media Day comes the release of the annual Pac-12 media poll predicting outcomes for the conference in 2018. This year, the Pac-12 media expect good things for USC football, but not great things.
The Trojans were voted as the favorites to win the Pac-12 South, outpacing Utah with 225 votes compared to 209 in large part thanks to 22 first place votes for USC. Arizona and UCLA trailed with 178 and 116 points respectively while Colorado and ASU settled in it fifth and sixth in the division.
Though USC took the top spot, it’s clear the media aren’t sure what to expect of the South as a whole.
