Here is the Pac 10 preview with odds to win the BCS Championship:

1) CALIFORNIA (15-1): The one team that will improve the most in the conference is Cal. Its defense is on par with Nebraska and Michigan, and will dominate Tennessee the first week of the season. Both Arizona State and Oregon come to Berkeley, leaving the game at U-S-C as its only stumbling block. However, the Golden Bears have outscored the Trojans 73-69 in the last three meetings in Los Angeles. In the last game at Memorial Coliseum, the Bears defense held U-S-C to 205 total yards and only 12 first downs, but fell 23-17 and failed to score from the goal line near the end of the game.

ANALYSIS: Cal's only question mark is at quarterback where Joe Ayoob took over for an injured Nate Longshore last season and was mired in mediocrity. If Longshore can stay healthy, look for an undefeated season and a meeting with Auburn in the BCS Championship game.
