Deep dives
Key Point 1 - Texas has the potential to make the playoffs
Texas has a talented roster with an improved offense under head coach Steve Sarkisian. The addition of quarterback Quinn Ewers and a strong receiving corps gives them the potential to compete for a playoff spot. While their defense may still have some question marks, Texas has the opportunity to make a statement in a conference that lacks clear favorites.
Key Point 2 - USC faces a challenging schedule
While USC has the talent to contend for a playoff spot, their difficult schedule poses a challenge. With tough matchups against teams like Notre Dame and Oregon, it will be crucial for USC to navigate their second half stretch of ranked opponents successfully. The defensive improvements will be vital for their success in a conference known for its offensive firepower.
Key Point 3 - Florida State's resurgence is worth watching
After a strong season last year, Florida State has gained momentum and optimism heading into the new season. With quarterback McKenzie Milton leading the offense and solid additions in the transfer portal, Florida State has the potential to challenge conference powerhouse Clemson. The key for their success will be splitting crucial games like LSU and Clemson to remain in playoff contention.
Key Point 4 - The PAC-12 faces challenges in playoff contention
The PAC-12 conference faces challenges in contending for a playoff spot due to a combination of team depth and a difficult schedule. While teams like USC, Oregon, and Washington have the talent to compete, there's a lack of clear front-runners and the potential for multiple losses within the conference. It will be crucial for a PAC-12 team to emerge as a dominant force and secure impressive wins to make a case for playoff inclusion.
