College football preview season is in full swing and that includes at SB Nation. Bill Connelly hasn't begun previewing the Pac-12 yet, but the studio did with Spencer Hall and Bud Elliott joining Dan Rubenstein for a Pac-12 preview edition of Easy Call.
It's difficult to cover all 12 teams in depth in five minutes, so more than a few teams don't get a mention. WSU is not one of those teams, however, with Spencer choosing the Cougars to be his biggest riser. Now, he prefaced it by saying the bar isn't exactly high, but we'll take it. The return of skill position players and a favorable schedule were part of the reasoning in picking WSU.
If you like bears, Pac-12 college football and fish sandwiches, this video is for you.
