The Pac-12 returns this weekend and we're setting and picking win totals for every team. First, a discussion of the league's role in the College Football Playoff race with an eye on Oregon and a breakdown of the Ducks' schedule (4:50). Then it's on to checking out the Jimmy Lake era at Washington (13:30), the importance of Chase Garbers to Cal's success (24:40), whether Stanford is in for bounce back season (38:50), expectations for Nick Rolovich at Washington State (38:50) and the next step for Jonathan Smith and Oregon State (45:30).
