ESPN's PAC 12 blog has been ranking the position groups of each PAC 12 school. I don't know that much about the other teams in our league, so these posts have been invaluable to me. They're finished now, so I thought I'd let everyone know exactly how everyone was ranked. The ESPN blog posts are linked at the beginning of each category. They ranked all the groups in order and also broke everything into three groups: Great Shape, Good Shape, and We'll See. I also gave every team a point score as follows: 12 for first, 11 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd, etc. and then a +3 bonus if you're in "great shape" and a +1 bonus if you're in "good shape" the scores are posted at the bottom. ||| is used to break up the groups.
