Posted July 23, 2008 at 3:05 pmWith the Pac-10 preseason media poll being released tomorrow at Pac-10 media day, I thought I would share my picks. This is a very difficult year to figure out the pecking order of the conference. More so than ever, the Pac-10 appears to be USC followed by everybody else. I basically see the conference broken [...]

Forsett doesn’t exactly have the breakaway speed or brute size that makes him highly coveted by NFL scouts.
