The PAC-10 this year...

[MaddDogg]

It's a little early to start talking about strength of schedule and conference, but I have to say so far this year the PAC-10 has had one of it's best conferences in the past 10 years or so. The SEC is more often than not the strongest conference in football, but I think this year the PAC-10 just might be the conference of choice.

Instead of playing a bunch of no name I-AA teams that most other schools in the SEC and elsewhere do (lol, Michigan), the PAC-10 goes out and plays strong teams. Look at some of the recent victories:

UCLA over BYU
Oregon over Michigan
Cal over Tennessee
Washington over Boise St.

I think this year we might be looking at a conference with 7 or 8 teams capable of competing. I'm really looking forward to the conference play. PAC-10 gets it right with the round robin "everyone plays everyone" style. Should be an excellent season to watch.

This is misleading, as the SEC plays cupcake teams to up there records and infalte their strength when the play inter=conference games...its a well known fact. The Pac-10 ALWAYS tries to schedule OOC games with BCS confernces. The Huskies have, statiscitally, the toughest schedule in the naiton this year.

NM my first paragraph!

I do get tired of the SEC and their argment of "all our teams are good so inter-conference play is really tough". Guess what? ALL THE CONFERENCES ARE LIKE THAT!!!!!!! It really bugs me.

I hate to get into the "whos conference is better" argument, becuase it is a never ending argument that just ends up in circles. Bottom line, CFB starts with beating GOOD teams OUTSIDE your conference, and until the SEC can prove they arent scared to do so, they need to shut the fuck up.

GO Huskies
GO Noles

Well that is EXACTLY what I am saying. Hats off the LSU and Tennessee for going on tough out of conference games, but I thought VTech was overrated to begin with, they belong in the 20s somewhere. Auburn played South Florida and South Florida pulled the upset. The SEC has a lot of perks like NOT having to play tough OOCs and NOT having to play every team in the conference every year. And furthermore I would argue that their bottom 2-3 teams are worse than the PAC-10, save Stanford.

But its all a matter of opinion, and a lot of people won't give the PAC-10 their props. I think with the OOCs already finished, they have won the games they should have, and taken games they shouldn't have, its good to see, and it leaves room for a strong argument in their favor this year.

THe Pac-10 has one more week of OOC's. Every Pac-10 team is favoried this week (including Stanford), except the Huskies...who have #10 Ohio State coming in.
