That seems fair as far as the relative rankings in the Pac 12 are concerned.  People can't really figure out UCLA vs. Oregon vs. Stanford so those three are practically tied.  But I think it would be a fair bet to expect that one or more Pac 12 teams will wind up doing better than some of the teams ranked 2-7--we just don't know which one yet.

There seems to be a lot of disagreement about Texas, ranked 2 on AP and 6 by the coaches. 

We play a lot of these teams, several of the early, so we will get a clear idea of where we stack up early.
