It is still a little too early for another bracketology, but since its almost halfway through the non-conference schedule for most, I thought I would give it a go this year. The Pac-12 is loaded this season as it stands currently with 9 teams in the field this week and a couple on the bubble outside the field. The defending national champions, LSU, are missing two star players and possibly a third. They have a lot of growing to do in order to get back to the caliber team we saw in Dallas. South Carolina is picking up where they left off and could potentially be stronger than they were last season by the way they are demolishing teams to begin the season. Connecticut is dealing with injuries yet again, which could become a factor as it has been the past couple of seasons. NC State, Texas, Iowa, and UCLA are potentially dangerous teams this season that could win it all.
