This past season saw the Pac-12 produce what could very well be its most competitive season in over a decade.

At one point in the season there were six teams that had a legitimate path to the conference championship, and by the last week of the season there were four. Next season could somehow be even better, with elite quarterbacks returning and fantastic additions via the transfer portal everywhere.

247Sports' Raymond Lucas Jr. projected the win total for every team in the Pac-12 for the 2023 season, and it is interesting that not a single team holds a double digit win projection. There are also some teams expected to contend nationally with much lower win totals than expected, so let's see who is predicted to thrive and who will be hoping to prove him wrong.
