Pac-12 football is back in full force this week, and so are the Star’s Pac-12 Power Rankings.
Each week during the football season, three Star sports staffers will rank the conference’s teams 1-12. Those votes will be compiled to form our Pac-12 Power Rankings.
We got a sneak peek at two league members last week. One (Stanford) performed exceptionally well; the other (Oregon State) not so much.
The Beavers’ performance did not sit well with this week’s voters: Michael Lev, Zack Rosenblatt and Ryan Finley. Michael has the comments to kick off the season.
One thing to note about this initial set: The “previous rank†for each team refers to where they finished in our rankings at the end of the 2016 regular season.
