SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The Oregon Ducks were picked to finish fourth and the Oregon State Beavers were picked 8th in the preseason Pac-12 Media Poll, released Thursday at the conference media day.

Oregon tied with Arizona for the regular season conference title last year, but the Ducks had a majority of their starting lineup either graduate or leave early for the NBA. Arizona was the overwhelming favorite to win the conference title this year, receiving 22-of-23 first place votes.

Oregon State, which finished with just one conference win last year, was picked to finish 8th by the media. The Beavers struggled with injuries and depth issues last season, but hope to have a healthy core as the season approaches.
