What I would add:
Washington lost 3 of 4 members of the best secondary in the conference.
USC has lost 11 starters including most of its O line and its two best big play guys, Simon-Schuster and Jackson. A few key D guys were lost, also, especially in the D line.
Oregon`s D has a few good players but will likely still give up 30 points plus per game.
Washington State lost its entire receiving corps sans one player.
Stanford`s D is better than advertised because not only the secondary but the linebacking also will be exceptional (as long as Phillips stays healthy to clog up the middle.). Stanford`s O Line will be dominant all season long against every opponent, acquitting themselves well against even the front 7`s of Utah and Washington, the two best in the conference.
If I am correct in my evaluation, Stanford will surprise USC early and then the winner of the Stanford/Husky game will play USC in the championship game.
