From a preseason listing by Athlon that has four teams listed from 1st team to 4th team...
1 ) Oregon = 14
2) USC = 13
2) Wash = 13
3) ASU =12
3) UCLA =12
4) Utah =11
5) Colorado = 10
6) Oregon St = 8
6) Wazzu = 8
7) Cal = 7
8) Stanford = 6
9) AU = 4
Here is a breakdown of the Sun Devils who have more 1st team members than any other PAC team, I think...
First Team = R White, RB...D West, OL...Tyler Johnson, DL...Chase Lucas, DB...Michael Turk, P...DJ Taylor, KR (six total)
Second Team = J Daniels, QB...K Diesch, OL...J Lole, DL...E Fields, DB (four total)
Third Team = M Robertson, LB (one total)
Fourth Team = C Trayanum, RB (one total)
If you totaled up points based on 4 pts for a 1st team player, 3 pts for a second team member, 2 pts for a third team member and 1 pt for a 4th team member, I think ASU may be first with points but I'm too lazy to do that...
I think this shows that ASU does not have to take a backseat to any other team in the conference from a talent standpoint and that we most probably have a significant talent edge against two thirds of the other teams in the PAC...
We don't have to play Oregon, get USC at home, but do have to play Wash, UCLA and Utah on the road that is a negative but also have five PAC home games that should be an advantage for us...
I will be disappointed if we don't win 10 or more games this coming season and I'm very excited about out chances to win the PAC and advance to a high ranking in the polls...
If not now, then when..??
Rose Bowl or Bust...
Go Devils!!!
