During an interview with ESPN’s Mike & Mike radio show on Friday morning, college football guru Phil Steele officially made his preseason picks for each Power 5 conference champion ahead of the 2016 season.

Drum roll, please.

It’s not surprising that he lists Alabama as the favorite to win the SEC in 2016. After securing four titles out of the last seven years, he’s just siding with the statistics. (That and the Crimson Tide could very well repeat as champs.) But what does stand out is his prediction for the Pac-12: Washington. Many believe Stanford, Oregon, USC and UCLA will be competing for that top spot — and while some have ventured out to mention the Huskies as a dark horse contender, few (if any) have been this bold.
