The annual Pac-12 media poll will be released Thursday morning before Pac-12 Media Days. I picked Stanford to win the Pac-12 over UCLA. You can see my ballot below.

Although Stanford has a lot of turnover on offense, the Cardinal still have Christian McCaffrey, who was enough to sway my vote. The North is stacked though, with four teams with shots at the division crown. With a slightly older and more mature Josh Rosen and a favorable conference schedule, UCLA looks to be in good shape this year.

If you want to submit your own ballot in the comments, I’ll compile them for a fan poll tomorrow morning.
