Thanks Bob.  Interesting article.  Never count a Rueck team out.  As the article makes clear, after they lost Hamblin and Weisner everyone thought they would sink to the middle of the Pac 12, and they wound up winning the regular season.  They could do the same again, although next year looks like they will be particularly strong. 

My goodness, Oregon, Oregon State, and Stanford all have young teams and all will be expected to be much better next year than this year.  This conference is going to be very very competitive for some time, and this year should be particularly exciting with lots of upsets as youthful teams implement their systems and gain maturity and experience.
