No. 11 – Oregon State Beavers

2017 Record: 1-11 (0-9)

Things were not pretty in Corvallis in 2017. Former head coach Gary Andersen resigned just six games into the season after a lackluster 1-5 start, and from then on, it was all a downward spiral.

The Beavers just couldn’t catch a break all last year, losing a couple very close games.

Well, a change to the staff happened, and with new regime coming, there is perhaps new life in Corvallis.

Unfortunately for Oregon State, the Beavers should likely still be in rebuilding mode. They do lose a few starters, it’s an entirely new staff like we mentioned, and more importantly they are unsettled at the quarterback position.

Nonetheless, it is safe to say there are a lot questions regarding just how good they will be in 2018.

Arizona walloped the Beavers in Tucson last year, winning 49-28. However, being that this game will be in Corvallis, I suppose anything can happen.

We still believe this will be one of Arizona’s “easier games”, and the disparity in depth and overall talent should prove that. That’s why Oregon State comes in at No. 11 here.
