While there is change coming in the PAC-12 in the coming years, let's focus on the seismic changes at USC.

The Trojans poached Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma, inking him to a lucrative contract out west. Riley brought his former five star recruit quarterback Caleb Williams, and snagged star receiver Jordan Addison from Pittsburgh in the transfer portal.

USC is going to be a contender in the PAC-12 once again in 2022, but what about Utah? Who brings back quarterback Cam Rising that led the team to the Rose Bowl in 2021.

Oregon and Washington will battle in the North division with new coaches taking over at each school.

There are changes in the PAC-12, so let's see how oddsmakers assess all of them heading into the season.

USC Has Highest Win Total in PAC-12

Despite leaning on a host of transfers and a first year head coach, the Trojans' favorable schedule leads them to having the highest win total in the conference. At 9.5 and odds shaded towards the over, FanDuel is expecting Riley to coach USC to their first 10 win season since 2017.

USC should be favored considerable in all but three games this season: at Utah, at UCLA and home for Notre Dame in the season finale, giving oddsmakers reason to place the team at such a high win total despite lacking some continuity on both sides of the ball.

Meanwhile, the reigning PAC-12 champion Utes sit at 8.5 with a home game against the Trojans on October 15th looming on the schedule. Utah has Rising back in the fold as well as an 1,000 yard rusher in Tavion Thomas. The game in Salt Lake City could determine both teams win totals, but also who goes to the PAC-12 title game.

Elsewhere, Oregon will replace Mario Cristobal with Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning. They are the projected favorites to win the North division. It's worth noting they host Washington on November 12, who is bring on new head coach Kalen DeBoer.
