Oregon is picked to win the Pac-12 North with 190 points barely knocking off Washington who received 189 points.
Last season this same poll predicted Washington to win the Pac-12 and they were correct. The University of Washington defeated the Utes in one of Utah’s worst offensive games of the season that ended with a score of 10-3.
