PAC 12 College Football Preview Pt 1

The guys (@GamblingPodcast) PAC 12 college football preview part 1 has predictions for all PAC 12 win totals for all the PAC 12 college football teams. They’re joined by Colby Dant (@TheColbyD) from The College Football Experience in studio as they talk college football predictions for Stanford, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, California and Washington State.

0:00 Intro

The PAC12 features a number of teams with lofty win totals for this season. They cannot all go over!

08:59 Stanford Win Total

Unlike many other PAC12 teams, Stanford only has a win total of 3.5. The future looks bleak as they lost a lot of starters to the transfer portal. Less than 40% of their starters on both sides of the ball are returning. Their easier games are all road games, so the schedule is not helping them out either.

18:05 Colorado Win Total

We coming. Despite all the hype swirling around Deion Sanders and his new Colorado team, they only have a win total of 3.5. Deion hit the portal very hard and plans to play extremely fast and tire opponents out from the altitude. Their issue is the trenches for sure, but Sanders should be able to will them to hit their over.

32:43 Arizona Win Total

Arizona has a win total of 4.5 after a successful stint in the transfer portal offensively. However, their defense is still spotty and will probably hinder them through the much-improved PAC12.

38:51 Arizona State Win Total

Like their rival Arizona, Arizona State is also 4.5. Historically, Arizona State always has really good talent but like last year sometimes the guys give up before the year is over. You can see from the juice that more people are optimistic about Arizona State and worrisome about Colorado. If Arizona State is not 3-3 at their bye there is no chance they hit this over.

46:30 California Win Total

Cal has a win total of 5.5. They have a very appealing offense and played a young roster last year that should take the next step this season. Their offensive line gave up a lot of sacks last year but their defensive line generated a lot of sacks. All the bright spots and expected growth outweigh the negatives which should allow them to sneak past their over.

53:44 Washington State Win Total

State has a win total of 6.5 which can be attributed to them having a returning starter at quarterback for the first time since 2017. Their schedule is probably the hardest out of all the teams discussed in this episode and they aren’t that much better than many of the teams. Getting to 7 wins will be pretty hard if one of the lower teams are a big surprise.
