Trojans Wire, Ducks Wire, and Buffaloes Wire pick the Pac-12 slate

The first full week of college football is here. After months and months of transfer portal moves, NIL deals, coaching changes, recruitment updates, and Week Zero, we finally have Week 1 of the 2022 college football season.

This year, every week, we will have predictions for all of the Pac-12 games from each of the sites (Trojans, Buffaloes, and Ducks Wire). The predictions will come from the following:

Zachary Neel, Don Smalley, and Andy Patton of Ducks Wire; Matt Zemek, Donovan James, and Matt Wadleigh of Trojans Wire; and Jack Carlough and Tony Cosolo of Buffaloes Wire. College Wire regional managing editor Patrick Conn will also weigh in with his predictions as well.

Week 1 doesn’t have very many eye-popping matchups, but the two biggest games are huge: Utah-Florida and Oregon-Georgia are two of the best matchups in the entire weekend of college football.

So, let’s run down the Pac-12 slate and check out the predictions. Check back here toward the end of every week:
