Your Pac-12 bloggers aren't afraid of going against the grain. And the results of the 2013 preseason media poll are an example of that. Neither of us discussed how we were going to vote prior to submitting our ballots, but afterwards we shared a good chuckle since they are virtually the same -- and contrary to the predictions of the majority.

The only differences in our ballots is we have UCLA-USC and Cal-Washington State flip-flopped.

Once again, here's how the media voted:

North Division

1. Oregon (15) 145

2. Stanford (11) 139

3. Oregon State 95

4. Washington 84

5. California 47

6. Washington State 33

South Division

1. UCLA (12) 135

2. Arizona State (10) 130

3. USC (4) 117

4. Arizona 76

5. Utah 60

6. Colorado 28

Pac-12 title game champion: Oregon (14 votes)

Others receiving votes: Stanford (8), UCLA (3)
