Arizona and Arizona State both receive votes to win Pac-12 South in CBSSports.com’s Preseason Poll

Jul 30, 2013, 12:22 AM | Updated: 1:59 pm

CBSSports.com’s college football writers came out with their conference predictions for the 2013 season Monday.

The website had eight of their analysts predict how each conference in the FCS would shape up.

Arizona and Arizona State both received some love atop the Pac-12 South, with two analysts predicting the Sun Devils to win the division and another handing the Wildcats a first place vote.

Outside of the first place votes, ASU and UA were pretty consistent in their range of finishes.

The Sun Devils were either second or third, with one fourth place finish and the Wildcats were fourth by everyone else with the exception of a fifth place finish.

The one analyst that had UA finishing higher then fourth was Tom Fornelli, who used his first place vote for the Wildcats. Fornelli was also the lone writer to place ASU lower than third.

UCLA received four first place votes (the most in the South division), while crosstown rival USC was given one first place vote.

In the Pac-12 North, there seemed to be more of an agreement by the writers on the two top teams.

Oregon and Stanford, in some combination, were predicted to finish either first or second with the Cardinal receiving a division-high five first place votes compared to Oregon’s three.

The lone unanimous vote for the entire Pac-12 conference was the placement of Colorado at the bottom of the South division.
