From top to bottom they stack up better than any other in my opinion....and I will be right there with you in cheering against the Cowboys

Go Texans

3 of the 4 Pac 10 teams in the top 25 ended the year in the top 25. SEC is a media favorite, they get all the hype. Except the absolutely awful Notre Dame teams that always get coverage. Am I wrong or was the only team to beat the trojans for the last 2 years in the PAc 10? That means of the 3 Losses that USC has had in 3 years 2 of them have been at the hands of the Pac 10.

Outside of USC, how many Pac10 teams have won the national championship in the last 20 years?

Compare that to how many teams from the SEC have won the national championship in the last 20 years. I won't count Auburn, which went undefeated but didn't get a chance to play USC for the title. I don't know if Auburn would have won, but I'm sure they would have done better than Oklahoma did!

If USC were in the SEC, they would have lost a lot more than 3 games in 3 years! I'm just sayin'!

Concur. The SEC teams have draconian schedules. They essentially play 8-9bowl games during the regular season. USC usually has a good program, but they do not play in a competitive conference. They maybe, maybe play (4) bowl-bound teams then 6-7 marginal teams with losing records. Which is helpful for making them appear to be better than they really are. Sort of like sending Ohio State down south to play. They cannot seem to match up either LOL.

USC hasn't had too much problem in recent years with BCS games now have they? Not a big problem for them to match up after their "easy" schedule.

Maybe it is you SEC folks that are afraid of a playoff system, they might have had to play USC last year instead of overrated Oklahoma. SEC gets too many poll points for strength of schedule in the stupid BCS system.

Nobody is denying that USC is a great football program! They are the power of the PAC10.

The SEC has 4 or 5 schools that in any given year are on par with USC. They have to play each other which pulls them down the top 25 list.

Gimme your 4 or 5 for this year.

It's a year in and year out thing in the SEC. That's the point. Every year in recent history SEC teams have had to face legitimate National Champion contenders within their own conference. They usually end up knocking each other out of contention because obviously somebody has to win. Year in and year out, facing Florida, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn, and some of the other schools that at times field great teams (Arkansas with Mcfadden and company, Ole Miss the past few years and in the Eli years). I just don't see how from top to bottom, anyone can argue that the SEC is generally the toughest conference year in and year out.

You were so convinced you felt the need to say it twice. I will help you cheer for the Titans tonight. So I guess the PAC 10 never beats up on itself?
