PAC-12 South

The Pac-12 South is a tricky division because there are about three teams that could end up winning the title.

From UCLA to USC to Utah, any one of these teams could end up bringing home the South Division Trophy.

Here are some key games to watch within the South that will decide this side of the Pac-12:

Key Games:

  • USC at Utah, September 23rd
  • Arizona State at USC, October 1st
  • Utah at UCLA, October 22nd
  • USC at UCLA, November 19th

Ultimately, I decided to go with UCLA. The Bruins have a very deep and veteran defense and a talented quarterback in Josh Rosen.

If Rosen can prove to be the talent that many believe he can be, the Bruins might could even sneak into the College Football Playoff discussion.

Division Winner: UCLA
