Instead of preseason all-conference, Pac-12 releases 'Impact List'
· Yahoo Sports
The new-look Pac-12 has veered away from traditional offseason polls used in most conferences.

The league isn't holding votes for a projected order of finish, it didn't hold media days and there's no preseason all-conference awards.
Instead of naming a Pac-12 preseason all-conference team, the league has a "Preseason Impact List." The listings highlight five players from each team. They have been selected by the league's coaches and each group is two offensive players, two defensive players and a flex spot for a player of any position.
Here is the "Impact List" for each Pac-12 team.
