(-13.5)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This a rematch of two games last year (one a bowl game) where Arizona got tattered both times. Both teams are bringing back similar personnel, so it's probably wise to go with the team that keeps winning. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Arizona St. (-7.5) vs. <b>Missouri</b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Sun Devils are a huge question mark entering this season and specifically this game. No one is really sure what ASU is capable of, and this will be a rude awakening for some fans. Although Missouri lost Blaine Gabbert, they are still dangerous enough to a) be ranked and b) cover this lofty spread. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Oregon St. @<span> </span><b>Wisconsin<span> </span></b>(-21)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In case you didn't see last week's game against UNLV, Russell Wilson elevates the Badgers to a completely different level. The fact that they get to face a team that just lost to a non-FBS school makes this game smell like a rout from miles away. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>California<span> </span></b>(-5) @ Colorado</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This game was on the schedule way before the Buffaloes made the leap to the Pac-12 and the directors decided to keep the game as a non-conference match-up, which doesn't make any sense to me. Colorado will get an early taste of the Pac-12 without repercussions, but they will probably second guess their decision after losing to one of the conference mid-tier teams. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Stanford<span> </span></b>(-21) @ Duke</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The last time Andrew Luck went to the East Coast to play a game, he made swiss cheese out of the ACC's best team. This year, he gets to face one of the ACC's bottom dwellers and it should get ugly fast. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Washington (-6.5) vs.<span> </span><b>Hawaii</b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Hawaii dismantled one Pac-12 last week and they are primed to make it two in a row this week. Although Washington comfortably won it's season opener, they gave up a bevy of yards to a low-rate offense. This week, Bryan Moniz marches into town and he definitely knows how to find the endzone with his arm and his feet. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Oregon<span> </span></b>(-26.5) vs. Nevada</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">With that epic loss still resonating in their minds, the Ducks should be looking to unload on the meager Wolf Pack. Oregon's offense should explode like most fans of the Pac-12 are used to seeing. Unfortunately for Nevada, they will be at the wrong end of this shellacking. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Washington<span> </span></b>St. (-13.5) vs. UNLV</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This seems like quite a large spread for the Cougars. Probably the latest in the season that they have been favored this high in years. There is something about Washington State that intrigues me. Plus, after watching UNLV take one on the chin last week, the Cougars seem like the better wager in this one. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>USC<span> </span></b>(-8.5) vs. Utah</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Utes will experience their first BCS conference game this weekend and they may be in for more than they can handle. Both Utah and USC did not look dominating in their season openers and one team will raise even more questions amongst their fan-base once this on is through. However, this isn't USC first rodeo and they will welcome Utah the Pac-12 accordingly. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>UCLA<span> </span></b>(-21.5) vs. San Jose St.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">UCLA actually looked decent last week against Houston and they will face a much weaker opponent on Saturday against San Jose State. Three touchdowns seems like a lot for this rather inconsistent offense, but the Spartans should cough up the ball enough times to let the Bruins cover. </span></div>

These conversations with Oklahoma and Texas is almost like talking about having a baby the minute your wife gives birth. It leaves this semi-bitter, semi-sweet taste in my mouth at the end of a questionable start for the Pac-12 Conference. </span></span></div>

So many arguments can be made either way. </span></span></div>

LaMichael James was sallowed up by LSU's defensive front, leaving Oregon looking rather one-dimensional. This doesn't mean there weren't flashes of brilliance that the Pac-12 has come accustomed to. Although the loss severely hurts my conference pride, the Ducks are still the top-dogs until another team plays a tougher opponent or Oregon struggles again. Not sure which will come first.</span></span></div>

Unlike Mike Riley, Dennis Erikson picked the correct Northern California cupcake to use as a warm-up.

Cal's new quarterback Zach Maynard and sensational sophomore wide receiver Keenan Allen made a splash against Fresno, connecting on eight passes for 112 yards. While the "brothers" created havoc, Marvin Jones reminded the Bulldogs that he hasn't left for the pros just yet. Jones caught Maynard's two touchdowns, gaining 118 yards on five receptions. This could finally be the passing game Cal has been wishing for since those Aaron Rodgers days. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>Defensive Player of the Week: Desmond Trufant</b> (11 TCK, 2BrUp, 1INT, 1 FF)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Desmond Trufant was a one-man wrecking crew for the Huskies. His pick late in the game solidified the win for Washington, narrowly escaping an unthinkable upset. Trufant proved to be the best weapon on the Huskies' rather questionable defense. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's get started with Week #1. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thursday's Games: </span><i>(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Picks are in Bold)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Utah</b> (-28) vs. Montana State</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Utah is not messing around this season. They want to quickly prove to the Pac-12 that they are capable of hanging with the big boys and devouring this stepping stone will be a huge step in that direction. With USC on the schedule next week, they are going to need as much of an ego-boost as they can possibly get from this cupcake. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Arizona State</b> (-35.5) vs. UC Davis</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It still pisses me off that UC Davis has a football team and UC Santa Barbara doesn't. Just because of that, I want to see the Aggies drown during any gridiron adventure. The Sun Devil's posses an extremely explosive offense. As long as their defense doesn't completely collapse, ASU should win this one by 50.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday's Games:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>No. 25 USC</b> (-22) vs. Minnesota</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is so much to like about USC's offense, that it completely overshadows the concerns that the Trojans have on defense...well, at least for this week's matchup. Minnesota is definitely improving, but they should struggle to stay afloat in this first game. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">UCLA @ <b>Houston</b> (-3)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">UCLA found a way to beat the Longhorns in Texas last year, it seems like the Bruins should be able to do the same against a "lower tier" team. Don't underestimate the Cougars, though. A healthy Case Keenum could be the difference for Houston. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Oregon St.</b> (-27.5) vs. Sacramento St.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Stinging Hornets really have no chance in this one. Oregon State might be experiencing a slight downturn this season, but this won't stop them from winning this game by at least four touchdowns. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>No. 7 Stanford</b> (-30) vs. San Jose St. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some reason, this game is actually considered a pretty deep rivalry. San Jose State's football program is the epitome of the term "rebuilding year" and they be the equivalent of Bambi starring down a Mack Truck this weekend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Washington St</b>. (-28) vs. Idaho St.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Cougars need a lot of work. Lucky for them, so does Idaho State. Washington State is primed for a turn around and if Paul Wulff is going to steer this ship in that direction it is going to be this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">California (-10) vs. <b>Fresno St.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This game opened up in Vegas with Cal as 4.5-point favorites. Since then, it has exploded to a 10-point spread for the Bears. The odds makers saw something in the Bulldogs when they originally wrote the line. Let's see if they were right. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Washington </b>(-18.5) vs. E. Washington</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know much about Eastern Washington, but for some reason this line seems like a slap in the faces of the Huskies. Sark and his boys win this one by at least three touchdowns...guaranteed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No. 3 Oregon (-4) vs. <b>No. 4 LSU</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since this line opened, LSU went from 3-point favorites to 4-point "dawgs." Four points seems like awfully a lot for this marquee matchup. Whichever team eventually wins, its only going to be by a field goal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Arizona </b>(-27.5) vs. Northern Arizona</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vegas bookies are seriously underestimating the dangers of Arizona's offense. The Wildcats' defense should be able to handle Northern Arizona's sub-par offesne, and Nic Foles and company will ignite the scoreboard in this home opener laugher. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Colorado vs. <b>Hawaii </b>(-7)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Only gambling degenerates bet on the Hawaii game." ~ <i>The Dilemma</i> So true, mainly because it's the last game of the day where you can either break even, jump ahead, or the more likely case, dig yourself a deeper hole. Making the trip to Hawaii is never easy, even for the best teams. The Buffaloes should get trampled. </span></div>

Golden Bear have reasons to fear the outcome of their current journey. Last season, Cal suffered its first sub-.500 record in nine years and uncertainty on both sides of the ball raises some warranted off-season concerns. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Earlier this spring, Head Coach <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jeff Tedford</b> tried to put some of these worries to rest by announcing that Buffalo transfer <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Zach Maynard</b> would be the Bears’ opening day starter at quarterback. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">For years, Cal’s string of highly touted quarterbacks and running backs were the crux that held their fans’ heads high. However, this season, the amount of productivity that the Bears will get from the otherwise unknown Maynard and their untested backfield is highly questionable.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Maynard, a two-star recruit out of high school, is touted mainly for his dual-threat abilities. Although he saw some time as a true freshman at Buffalo, he earned the starting job in his sophomore year with various results.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">In his final year as a member of the MAC, Maynard completed 57.5-percent of his passes, collecting 2,694 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also gained 300 yards on the ground. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Maynard’s arm isn’t exactly powerful and his accuracy is not going to wow you. However, his ability to move the pocket and to take off and run provides the Bears with a speedy weapon at quarterback that they have not seen in a while. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">In order for Cal to be successful in 2011, the Bears might want to run an offense that mimics Oregon’s fast-pace. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">If the Bears’ offense has anything going for them this season, it is speed. Wide receivers <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Keenan Allan</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Marvin Jones</b> can burn trails and with Maynard running the offense, ground velocity will be at Tedford’s disposal. However, using this speed properly will be essential to Cal’s success.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Like Oregon (if Tedford decides to go this route), Cal will have to deceive defenses with options and take advantage of any mistakes with their speed. But, changing to this type of offense is not exactly an easy transition, especially since the Bears have another huge concern at running back. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The days of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Javid Best</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Shane Vareen</b> are gone and there isn’t a name that will quickly replace those recent campus stars. Unfortunately, in order for Cal to take advantage of Maynard’s abilities, a reliable running back needs to step up to add even more pressure on pinching linebackers.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">While <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Isi Sofele</b> is slated to start at running back, there could be a juggling of players until a true star emerges. If Cal can find a running back to fill the enormous shoes left by his predecessors, then the Bears might have a decent make up to stay competitive this season. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">That is a huge MIGHT though. Maynard has yet to face the quickness and power that every team in the Pac-12 possesses. His experience is limited and how he performs on his first real game day will be telling. While Tedford seemed impresses with him this spring, it was mainly because his other choices were not that pretty.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Without a steady quarterback the Bears could be in a world of hurt for most of the season. Being competitive in the Pac-12 means being able to consistently put up points. With the current makeup of Cal’s offense, it’s hard to determine if that is possible. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">It also does not help that Cal lost a chunk of their stars on defense. If this offense is force to play from behind every game, it could quickly take its toll on both sides of the ball. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Overall, Cal will need Maynard to prove to the Bay Area that he is capable of handling a full BCS schedule. Without a potent offense, the Bears could be traveling up the worst type of creek possible without a paddle. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">In the introductory post (the one you are reading right now), I'll tally a weekly rankings to gauge the overall recruiting success each team is having compared to their conference peers. The team names in the rankings will also link to their weekly recruiting round up.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">While the names may seem the same, the overall presence and outlying atmosphere created by these coaches has certainly changed.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The Pac-10 faithful will be introduced to three new head coaches this season, two experiencing their first year at helm. How these coaches react to this backyard dog fight called “Pac-12 Conference Play” should be quite interesting.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Let's take a look at where each coach lands in my Pac-12's Coaches Preseason Power Rankings. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 1: Chip Kelly, Oregon<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">It is hard to place a coach coming off a National Championship appearance anywhere but No. 1. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Year-in and year-out, Chip Kelly proves that he can get his guys to work their butts off in his high-flying system. Even with the recent concerns with Cliff Harris, Kelly should be able to get rest of his Ducks to fly in formation, making Oregon a contender once again in 2011.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 2: Lane Kiffin, USC<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Lane Kiffin makes No. 2 on this list because of his personality alone. The hoopla that surrounds him and the dead-pan, sarcastic answers that he gives the media makes it hard to completely love or loathe him. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Whichever way you feel about Kiffin, he does seems to have a decent thing going at USC (you know, despite the whole sanction thing). To Kiffin’s credit, players seem to respect him wherever he goes and now that he finally has a competitive squad, he has a chance to put up some impressive win totals.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 3: Kyle Whittingham, Utah<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Kyle Whittingham’s past success in the Mountain West is hard to ignore. He has reached a bowl in every season as a head coach, plus he has already coached in two BCS bowls (more than any other Pac-12 coach).</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The test thrust upon Whittingham this season is much steeper, though. His footing in this ranking is a bit soft at the moment, but the soil should become firmer after a few conference wins.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 4: Steve Sarkasian, Washington<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Steve Sarkasian is a vibrant coach that brings a ton of energy and immeasurable love for the game to Seattle.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Sark’s attitude towards the Huskies programs easily rubs off on any passerby. Although they have lost a huge weapon in Jake Locker, he still has this team (and the city) believing that Washington can (and will) take the Pac-12 by surprise. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 5: Dennis Erickson, Arizona State<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">One might think that two National Championships would fast track a coach close to the top of any kind of coaches’ rankings.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">However, Dennis Erickson has yet to prove that his previous winning ways are still a part of his current existential shell. While Erickson’s downward metamorphosis is quickly drawing questions, another disappointing season could send him back into retirement for good. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 6: David Shaw, Stanford<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Jim Harbaugh left the table set for David Shaw. All Shaw has to do is serve the meal. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">With Andrew Luck returning, Shaw has a big enough weapon to come out blazing in his first season. While there are definitely a few question marks on the Cardinal’s depth chart, how he matures these areas will be a telling sign of Stanford’s future. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 7: Mike Riley, Oregon State<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Mike Riley has suffered only two seasons below .500 as Oregon State’s head coach. Unfortunately, last year was the most recent and that always draws a few concerns.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">After Riley’s last sub-.500 record in Corvallis, he quickly turned things around with a 10-win season the following year. That win total might be difficult to mimic in 2011, especially with the questionable talent on his depth chart. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 8: Mike Stoops, Arizona<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">After seven seasons coaching Arizona, Mike Stoops has only finished with an above-.500 conference record twice. While this is not completely indicative of Stoops' tenure with the Wildcats, these conference woes has to be brewing some uncertainty within Arizona’s fan base.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Getting blown out in back-to-back bowls isn’t helping either. Arizona has a bevy of offensive weapons to contend in 2011, but their defense is worrisome. Although Stoops’ job isn’t necessarily on the line, it would not hurt to win a few more games against conference opponents. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No. 9: Jeff Tedford, California<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Jeff Tedford finished the 2010 season with his worst record at California. Although he missed a bowl for only the second time as the Bears coach, for some reason people are anxious to walk him up to the guillotine.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

Thankfully, the “Dan Hawkins Experiment” has finally come to a close and the Buffaloes have a chance to emerge from his cloud of ineptness with the guidance of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jon Embree</b>.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Although Embree has a multitude of problems to address, Colorado's stagnant defense will undoubtedly be atop of his list. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">For the past five seasons, Colorado’s defense has steadily declined. In 2006, the Buffaloes ranked a respectable 58th in the nation, allowing 22.3 points per game. But then the slope gets slippery. Colorado proceeded to slide down the rankings season-after-season, stumbling to an embarrassing 91st in 2010.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">The explosive offenses in the Big 12 are a huge reason for Colorado’s epic downturn. Between the years of 2006-2008, at least six Big 12 teams finished each season with “Scoring Offense” numbers in the Top 25. Yet, as the Conference’s numbers declined in recent years, the Buffaloes defense still could not right the ship. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">While the Pac-10 usually has a handful of teams representing the conference’s scoring prowess amongst the nation’s Top 25 offenses, they don’t come close to scratching the totals of the Big 12. However, don’t be sucked in to thinking that transferring to the Pac-12 will provide the Buffaloes’ defense with any significant relief…because, in short, the Pac-12 is loaded like a baked potato.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"> </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">From <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Andrew Luck</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Matt Barkley</b> to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nick Foles</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brock Osweiler</b>, Colorado’s shoddy secondary will be under heavy fire practically every weekend. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Although Colorado returns seven players on defense, the Buffaloes lost two starting cornerback from its 110th ranked secondary. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jonathan Hawkins</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Paul Vigo</b> have been touted as early favorites to fill these holes, but things could easily change by opening day kickoff. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Either way, whoever eventually wins the starting role will be vigorously tested straight out of the gates. The Buffaloes’ season opener takes place in Hawaii, and the Warriors are infamously known for their zippy offense. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">While this game could end up rattling their already-soft egos, Colorado’s secondary will get a bit of reprieve for the rest of September. However, if they can’t find a groove by the time conference play picks up in October, they should be in a world of trouble. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">All is not dreary for the Buffaloes’ on defense, though. Senior defensive end <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Josh Hartigan</b> returns and should jangle a few cages this season. Hartigan led Colorado in sacks last year, earning All-Conference honors. Although the Pac-12 tends to have better offensive lines than the Big 12, Hartigan should find a way to pull in decent numbers. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">All in all, people are not expecting much more from Colorado’s defense than to stop any profuse bleedings. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The Buffaloes’ offense, however, will have to do most of the heavy lifting. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Senior quarterback <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tyler Hansen</b> showed great promise this spring. His maturity level is definitely rising and he has the potential to put together a solid season. Hansen’s prospects blossom even further considering he will not be alone on the offensive attack. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">All-Conference tailback <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Rodney Stewart</b> adds at little sugar to the spice for Colorado, providing the Buffaloes’ offense with a viable ground option and also relieving pressure off of Hansen. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Stewart flew a bit under the radar last season and took the Big 12 by a bit of a surprise. With the learning curve that tends to accompany a conference switch, Stewart could fall into this "stealth mode" once again. Add on the fact that Colorado returns a veteran offensive line, and Stewart could quietly put up huge numbers again in 2011. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">If Colorado has any chance of sneaking away with a division title in 2011, they will need to harness the power of its offense. So, while Colorado’s defense might not be fully equipped to handle the rigorous test of its first Pac-12 schedule, its offense might be able to take a few teams by surprise.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
