Analysis
Personally, I was a little concerned seeing that UCLA is placed 9th in the PAC 10. As I let it sink in, it is actually pretty practical. Like it was last year, no one will be safe within the conference, even the predicted favorite (Oregon) has a very good chance of going 8-4, and still win the PAC 10.
As for UCLA, it straight up scares me that UCLA could go 1-11 according to EA. But then again, it is pretty apparent that EA only goes to ESPN for their info, because Washington doesn't have anything more than a 82 Defense, and it really makes sense to them that a star quarterback goes hand in hand with a solid defense.
