TEMPE, Ariz. — The Pac-12 conference is deeper than ever and Arizona State football will be navigating the gauntlet with a first-year head coach. Kenny Dillingham and the Sun Devils have their work cut out for them.

Here is how the Sun Devil Daily staff thinks the Pac-12 conference will shape up this fall, and where Arizona State football will finish.

• The only schools to receive votes in the top three were USC, Oregon, and Utah. 

What does this mean for Arizona State football?

Arizona State football will have to fight for every conference game this season. The schedule for Dillingham and the Sun Devils is brutal.

ASU begins conference play by hosting the unanimous best team in the Pac-12, USC.

The Sun Devils also play every top-five team in the Sun Devil Daily preseason Pac-12 poll. Three of those games are on the road. They’ll have to travel to Washington, UCLA and Utah.

Dillingham also doesn’t get to play the unanimous last-place Stanford Cardinal this season. Their next easiest game, according to the poll, will be a road game against California on September 30th.

How will Arizona State fare with this schedule?
