More or less what you expect from last year. WSU on the rise, OSU dropping like a rock. Cal would be expected to get about 4 wins in conference, maybe 11 total.

11. UW #171
12. OSU #276
This looks much more hopeful for Cal. Three elite teams, WSU on the rise, Cal improving to the Top 100 with most of the PAC-12 playing horribly recently. If this holds Cal could possibly come away with a winning conference record, maybe 15 wins total. You'd also see a lot of PAC-12 coaches get fired.
