Not this year, no. But in 2026, when the league essentially restarts, there is one Pac-12 member represented. The current #25 is Boise State.

Little surprised about Washington State not even getting a single vote. They finished 8-5, lost their last three regular season games by seven total points and scored 35 on #21 Syracuse. They don't deserve a single preseason vote?

Not after the guy responsible for their eight win 2024 season (John Mateer) transferred to OK (in addition to the Cougars OC leaving for the same coaching position in Norman).  

Sadly, WSU and OSU are nothing more than minor league teams functioning as feeders for the big boys.

Quick perusal only shows two former PAC-12 teams in the top 25 (#7 Oregon and #11 ASU), and a smattering receiving votes (Utah, SC, and Colorado with a single vote).
