Ted spent much of the past two weeks looking at individuals from the league who are coming back. But what about from a team standpoint? As is always the case, we have to say goodbye to some folks who have graduated, departed early, transferred or sim...

All players are equal, but some players are more equal than others. That's the basis of our Most Important Player series. First off, quarterbacks are excluded to make things more interesting. It goes without saying, for example, that Oregon's Marc...

Unlike last year, there is no quarterback competition at Stanford. But the recently released post-spring depth chart does reveal some potentially interesting developments to eye-ball heading into fall. Starting on offense -- there are only two run...

On Tuesday we looked at the departing players in the South Division who would be the most difficult to replace. And the poll results are quite exciting. So far, it's a tie between Utah's Star Lotulelei and USC's Matt Barkley with 26 percent of the vo...

Catching you up on the weekend practices. Arizona, Cal and Stanford are the only three teams that have kicked off spring ball. Cal had the weekend off and resumes practice today. The Wildcats opened the spring session on Saturday with a helmets-an...

If Washington defensive back Desmond Trufant was on the first-round fence prior to the NFL scouting combine, he might have swung the other leg over. After posting impressive measurables, Trufant has climbed from first-round possibility to legitimate ...

As Ted announced earlier today, you'll have your chance to submit your own top 25s and we'll publish a few of them on the blog. But in the meantime, it's time for your Tuesday poll question. And since we're close to putting a bow on this year's posts...

It's going to be an interesting spring. When the dog days roll around and all of the spring games have wrapped in late April, we're usually left with just as many questions as we were when spring ball started. Position battles are rarely won in Fe...

The first time Tyler Gaffney stepped into a batter's box as a professional baseball player, he was hit by a pitch. Hey, some guys just crave the contact. He doesn't remember the exact game when he got his first professional hit. He thinks it wa...

There were two pretty big stories in the Pac-12 Monday -- a bit unusual for this time of the year. Normally there is a down period between national signing day and the start of spring ball. However, the first story broke early Monday morning that ...

One of the biggest questions facing Stanford in 2013 was how would it replace so many key offensive players who graduated or left for the NFL following the highly-successful 2012 season. Enter -- errr -- re-enter Tyler Gaffney, who could prove to ...

The official list of college players invited to the NFL combine is out and 38 from the Pac-12 made the cut. At least one player from every team in the conference was invited. A total of 333 players were invited and workouts begin Feb. 23. You can see...
