247Sports predicts the 2023 record for every Pac-12 team

Another year without a playoff team and a similar picture at the top

247Sports predicts the 2023 record for every Pac-12 team

In this story:

Stanford Cardinal

The Pac-12 is coming off of its most competitive year in arguably a decade if not longer.

It should be just as competitive in 2023, with essentially every contender in the conference returning their quarterback and a handful of other key players. However, even despite the strength of the conference, with at least five teams having playoff aspirations prior to the season, 247Sports' recent predictions of every team's record indicates that they think that will not happen.

The top of the conference looked extremely similar besides the fact that Utah falls off a bit, but they do have four teams finishing with a 10-2 record. Let's take a look at where 247Sports' Raymond Lucas Jr. foresees everyone in the conference finishing, and some notable wins that each team will have.
