Class Rank: #4

Looking at guys in training, we have some impact players coming in at WR and HB.

Preseason, we are listed as #8 in both polls. USC is listed as #1. Washington State is right behind us.

School Fundraising: GOOD (same)
Academics: BELOW AVERAGE (same)
Alumni Fundraising: AVERAGE (same)

Prestige Values - Pac 10:
USC - 87 (+1 since start of dynasty)
UCLA - 68 (+3)
Oregon - 65 (+3)
Washington State - 62 (+5)
Oregon State - 58 (-3)
California - 58 (0)
Stanford - 54 (0)
Arizona State - 54 (-3)
Washington - 54 (-1)
Arizona - 52 (+1)
