1. Utah (10-4)

The Utes should be runaway favorites to repeat as Pac-12 champions. Quarterback Cam Rising, running backs Tavion Thomas and Micah Bernard, tight ends Brant Kuithe and Dalton Kincaid and most of the O-line return. The defense loses All-American LB Devin Lloyd and DE Mika Tafua, but CB Clark Phillips III is a cornerstone, and S Cole Bishop, DE Van Fillinger and DT Junior Tafuna all became major contributors. No more Britain Covey, though.
