Your Pac-12 bloggers aren't afraid of going against the grain. And the results of the 2013 preseason media poll are an example of that. Neither of us discussed how we were going to vote prior to submitting our ballots, but afterwards we shared a good chuckle since they are virtually the same -- and contrary to the predictions of the majority.
The only differences in our ballots is we have UCLA-USC and Cal-Washington State flip-flopped.
Once again, here's how the media voted:
North Division
Oregon (15) 145
Stanford (11) 139
Oregon State 95
Washington 84
California 47
Washington State 33
South Division
UCLA (12) 135
Arizona State (10) 130
USC (4) 117
Arizona 76
Utah 60
Colorado 28
Pac-12 title game champion: Oregon (14 votes)
Others receiving votes: Stanford (8), UCLA (3)
