Last week we gave you our thoughts on which Pac-12 players who weren't on last year's all-conference team have the best shot at postseason honors this year. Our parameters were that the player couldn't have been any higher than honorable mention last...

Our countdown of the Pac-12's top 25 players in 2012 continues. Most of this looks back, but, of course, there also is a good dose of projecting forward. A lot of good players, as it happens every year, won't make the preseason list. It is in thei...

All of this running back chatter this week -- USC being called the top rushing attack in the country, the Trojans gaining Penn State running back Silas Redd -- got Ted and I thinking: Who is the favorite to lead the conference in rushing this year? ...

We talk a lot about wide receivers in this conference. And why not? The overall collection of wide receiver talent is the strongest of any conference in college football. Heck, even Cal's Keenan Allen said he doesn't see the Biletnikoff winner com...

The wake-up call came in 2010. Curtis McNeal hadn't done much in his USC career to date. He redshirted in 2008, had six carries for 33 yards in 2009. He returned a few kickoffs, made a couple of tackles on special teams. He wasn't on the fast-trac...

We closed last week with one of the meatier offseason discussions we've had on the Pac-12 blog -- whether running back LaMichael James or quarterback Darron Thomas was a bigger loss for the Ducks. While the folks at Athlon Sports, who prompted the...

Last week we brought you our predictions for the Pac-12's 3,000-yard passers in 2012. And judging from the comments, it seems like at least 10 quarterbacks are going to hit the 3K mark. Are folks just as optimistic about the running backs reaching...

The folks at Athlon Sports raised an intersting question regarding Oregon: Which hurts more, the loss of running back LaMichael James or quarterback Darron Thomas? They had a few of their writers weigh in with their opinions and the consensus seem...

This posted on Friday, but because of the long weekend we didn't get a chance to get to it until today. But it's still worth exploring a very interesting post from the folks at Pacific Takes, who put together an All-NFL team consisting of Pac-12 alum...

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. For now, all Nick Foles can do is sit and wait. Juron Criner could be the fourth or fi...

The current number is six. That is six Pac-12 players projected to go in the first round of the NFL draft, according to Mel Kiper's latest mock draft . They are the usual six you'd expect; Andrew Luck, David DeCastro, Jonathan Martin and Coby Flee...

The latest draft rankings are out from ESPN's Todd McShay and Mel Kiper and there isn't much change involving the Pac-12 players projected for the first round. On McShay's top 32 , Stanford offensive guard David DeCastro climbed closer to the top ...

Mel Kiper's Big Board is out -- along with updated mock drafts from Kiper and Todd McShay. First, taking at look at McShay's mock draft and Kiper's mock draft, they agree on the top three: Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck to the Indianapolis Col...

With the combine completed, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay have updated their respective rankings and boards. Kiper also offers his winners from the combine and those leaving us with questions. Some of the Pac-12 winners include LaMichael Ja...

We're looking at the top individual performances in the Pac-12 in 2011. Up next: James the Cardinal crusher. Who & against whom: Oregon running back LaMichael James -- no stranger to top performances -- scorched the Stanford Cardinal on the...
