Pac-12 getting defensive

The Pac-12 is known for offense, so it's not surprising that a list of the nation's top-25 players includes six players from conference offenses. Defense? Not so much. Just one Pac-12 defender -- Stanford LB Shayne Skov -- made The Sporting News list. That is not unreasonable. The 2011 season was not a great one for Pac-12 defenses, though, of course, we can endlessly spool the "chicken or the egg" perspective of conference defenses looking worse due to playing nine games against superior conference offenses.
