"Oregon and Washington, likely our toughest PAC-12 North rivals, both miss the team Under Stanford Control."

Are you assuming that the team Under Stanford Control will have a good team for the next two years. the team Under Stanford Control is about to lose a bunch of key players. Recruiting restrictions are about to hit them hard. They will continue to have depth issues for the foreseeable future. Their coaching staff is suspect. the team Under Stanford Control is losing fan support. It appears to me that OU and UW would be better off playing the team Under Stanford Control than UCLA.

I am assuming that USC will be better than Colorado, who WE will be missing--the last time I checked they had one of the best recruiting classes in the nation coming in, again, next year.  Talent does make a difference in this sport...
