Pac-12 Preseason Football Rankings 2023

The 2023 college football season is just around the corner, and the Pac-12 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive conferences in the country. With a number of talented teams returning, the race for the conference title is sure to be exciting.

Here are the top 5 teams in the Pac-12 preseason football rankings:

  1. USC

The Trojans are the clear favorites to win the Pac-12 in 2023. They return a loaded roster led by quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Drake London. If the Trojans can improve their defense, they could be a dark horse contender for the College Football Playoff.

  1. Oregon

The Ducks are always a contender in the Pac-12, and they should be again in 2023. Bo Nix returns at quarterback, and he'll have plenty of weapons to work with, including Travis Dye and Devon Williams. If the Ducks can stay healthy, they could be a top-10 team.

  1. Utah

The Utes are coming off back-to-back Pac-12 championships, and they're poised to be a contender again in 2023. Cameron Rising returns at quarterback, and he'll have a strong supporting cast led by running back Tavion Thomas. If the Utes can stay healthy, they could be one of the best teams in the country.

  1. UCLA

The Bruins are always a tough out, and they should be again in 2023. Dorian Thompson-Robinson returns at quarterback, and he'll have plenty of weapons to work with, including Zach Charbonnet and Kyle Philips. If the Bruins can find a way to win close games, they could be a dark horse contender for the Pac-12 title.

  1. Washington

The Huskies are coming off a disappointing 2022 season, but they have a chance to bounce back in 2023. Michael Penix Jr. returns at quarterback, and he'll have a strong supporting cast led by running back Sean McGrew. If the Huskies can improve their defense, they could be a dangerous team in the Pac-12.
