Keep in mind that at this stage things are constantly changing. Something may have changed by the time you read this.
To simply things, there are three roster qualities that typically lead to a successful season:
Here is how I would characterize each team:
The teams that do well on all three factors are Arizona, UCLA, USC, and Stanford. At this point, these look like they will be the three best teams in the league next season.
Other teams that could have a good season are Oregon State, Washington State, and Oregon.
| TEAM | NATIONAL CLASS RANKING | PAC-12 CLASS RANKING | NUMBER OF RECRUITS | RETURNING PLAYERS (10 MINUTES+) | 5-STAR PLAYERS | 4-STAR PLAYERS | NEW PLAYERS | COMMENTS |
| Arizona | 79 | 10 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 6 | 2 | |
Arizona State | 27 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 10 | |
| California | 61 | 7 | 3 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 3 | |
| Colorado | 8 | 1 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 6 | |
| Oregon | 70 | 9 | 1 | 3-4 | 2 | 2-3 | 1-2 | De'Vion Harmon could go to the NBA or transfer in. |
Oregon State | 64 | 8 | 2 | 6-7 | 0 | 0 | 6 | |
| Stanford | 18 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 1 | 3 | 3 | |
| UCLA | 31 | 4 | 2 | 5-9 | 1-2 | 8 | 3 | |
| USC | 40 | 5 | 3 | 5-6 | 0-1 | 5 | 4 | |
| Utah | -- | -- | 1 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 5 | |
| Washington | 46 | 6 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 6 | |
Washington State | 107 | 11 | 1 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 6 |
To simply things, there are three roster qualities that typically lead to a successful season:
- Returning Players
- Talent
- Depth
Here is how I would characterize each team:
| TEAM | RETURNING PLAYERS | TALENT | DEPTH |
| Arizona | Good | Good | Good |
| Arizona State | Poor | Good | Good |
| California | Excellent | Poor | Good |
| Colorado | Fair | Fair | Good |
| Oregon | Fair | Excellent | Poor |
| Oregon State | Excellent | Poor | Very Good |
| Stanford | Good | Good | Good |
| UCLA | Good to Excellent | Outstanding | Excellent |
| USC | Good | Very Good | Excellent |
| Utah | Poor | Fair | Good |
| Washington | Poor | Fair to Good | Fair |
| Washington State | Outstanding | Fair | Excellent |
Other teams that could have a good season are Oregon State, Washington State, and Oregon.
