Let’s face it, Arizona State is nowhere near being a competitive team in the Pac-12, even with Kenny Dillingham now in town.

The Sun Devils should be much better offensively under Dillingham, but that’s going to have to wait until he gets more of his own players to campus.

This game could get ugly as Arizona State just doesn’t have the defense to stop this high-powered Washington attack and the Huskies have revenge on the mind after last year’s shocking upset loss.

Prediction: Win (7-0, 4-0)

Like Arizona State and Arizona, Stanford is in full rebuild mode. The Cardinal just watched as David Shaw stepped down this past season and FCS coach Troy Taylor took over which was met with mixed reviews.

This is not an easy program to turn around especially with the high academic standards so that means Taylor has his work cut out for him.

The Cardinal are going to be really bad this season. Maybe even like 2-3 win bad. I expect this game to be over by halftime.

Prediction: Win (8-0, 5-0)
