Are the Utah Utes going to live up to the preseason hype? Can Washington reload and win another conference title? Is Oregon back? What is going to happen down at USC this season? What team becomes the shock of the league like Washington State did last year?

247Sports' Pac-12 sites have teamed up for a weekly Power Ranking. The voters are: Jason Scheer of Wildcat Authority, Chris Karpman of Sun Devil Source, Adam Munsterteiger of Buff Stampede, Matt Prehm of Duck Territory, Angie Machado of Beaver Blitz, R.J. Abeytia of The Bootleg, Tracy Pierson of Bruin Report Online, Ryan Abraham of USCFootball.com, Dan Sorenson of Ute Zone, Jackson Gardner of CougFan, Chris Fetters of Dawgman, Jackson Moore of BearTerritory .

We'll release our power rankings each Monday throughout the college football season. These rankings are not based on the standings at the date of release, but instead, are rankings based on who we believe is the league's best team regardless of standing and all the way down to the team we believe is playing the worst football regardless of standing. The team with the lowest amount of points is the league's highest-rated team. The team with the most points is the league's lowest-rated team in our power rankings.

Today's rankings serve as our preseason power rankings.

Here are this week's 247Sports Pac-12 Power Rankings:
