In the North, media favors Oregon (37 first-place votes) to finish first, followed by Stanford (eight first-place votes.)

Each media member was also asked to pick the overall conference winner. USC got the most votes, with 21. Oregon (17), Arizona State (3), UCLA (2) and Stanford (1) also received nods.
