Pac-12 unveils Preseason Impact List instead of all-conference teams

On August 7, 2026, the Pac-12 announced a "Preseason Impact List," featuring top players from each team, Eschewing traditional all-conference teams. Each team's list includes five players selected by coaches, comprising two offensive players, two defensive players, and one flex position. This change marks a departure from the usual voting process and media days typically held in the preseason. The list highlights notable players such as Maddux Madsen and Sire Gaines from Boise State, Juice Vereen from Colorado State, and AJ Newberry from Oregon State. The shift reflects the league's evolving approach to preseason evaluations as the season approaches.
