ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ freshman Nico Mannion was also made one of 10 players named to the league's inaugural preseason all-conference first team. UA guard Josh Green was named to the five-player second team, while center Chase Jeter was honorable mention.

In voting by media members who regularly cover the league, Oregon was picked to finish first but both the Ducks and Colorado received nine first-place votes. 

Washington was picked third, with six first-place votes, while ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ received two first-place votes. USC, picked fifth, received one first-place vote.

The bottom seven teams were, in order, ASU, OSU, UCLA, Utah, Stanford, WSU and Cal.

The voting among the top four teams was predictably close, and the Pac-12 said it was one of the closest votes it has ever had in the preseason poll. (FWIW, my ballot had the exact same top-four order).

Here's the full result of the poll, with total votes and first-place votes in parentheses. 

1. Oregon 291 (9)

2. Colorado 288 (9)

3. Washington 273 (6)

4. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ 263 (2)

5. USC 198 (1)

6. ASU 187 

7. OSU 161

8. UCLA 148

9. Utah 131

10. Stanford 131

11. WSU 47
