Best Conference the Past 10 Years? It's the Pacific 10

By Jay Christensen, The Wiz of Odds

Last week, the Southeastern Conference was proclaimed the best in the land for 2008. This week it's the Big 12. Total nonsense, of course, because more than half of the teams have been getting fat on cupcake opponents. A true test is to compare how the Bowl Championship Series conferences have fared against each other for the past 10... more »

It could have been worse: USC No. 7 in Harris poll

By MICHAEL LEV, OCREGISTER.COM, USC

USC’s BCS title hopes aren’t dead yet. Yes, the Trojans have lost a game and lost ground. But no other one-loss team ranks higher in the coaches’ and Harris Interactive polls, the two that factor into the BCS rankings. USC also has fewer teams to hurdle after a weekend full of upsets. USC landed at No. 7 in the... more »

Trojan Depo: How the Trojans saved Tressel, the Buckeyes and the BCS...

Devon Pollard, TrojanWire

Let's go hypothetical for a moment: Suppose that USC wasn't on Ohio State's '08 schedule. Now imagine if this very same Buckeye team that we saw last Saturday had somehow managed to march past Penn State, Illinois and Michigan, all the way through the end of the season undefeated. Imagine if this same Buckeye team, that couldn't even score a single touchdown, attempted yet another BCS title game with delusions of grandeur but performance of piss...

Ladies and gentlemen, keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times, or Rey Maualuga might just take them to the house...you're about to enter the Trojan Depo.

Pac-10, Pete Carroll to SEC: Scoreboard

ESPN.com - Pac-10 - Blog

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller Just the facts. The Pac-10 is now 10-6 versus the SEC and is 6-2 in games played on the West Coast since the BCS Era began in 1998. An SEC fan who will not tip his cap to that is simply a big dummy. That's not an insult. It's not an opinion. Those are... more »

PAC 10: Bite Me, SEC

Devon Pollard, TrojanWire

Okay...here goes. I'm going to divulge something I wouldn't ordinarily EVER admit: I was watching last night's UCLA-Tennessee game and I was rooting for...the Bruins. I know. There's a little vomit in my mouth too. But if there's one thing I loathe equally as much as those powder blue uniforms, it's those enormous heads and cocky trash talking coming from the SUC...err...i mean SEC.

So here we go again. The 2007 SEC conference title contender comes over to our side of the country and blows the opener for the second year in a row against a mediocre Pac-10 team. Forgetting UCLA had a third string quarterback who threw four interceptions, what's the excuse now, SEC? Alright...some SEC fans are sitting at their computers with blood-shot eyes, outraged, thinking 'well we have three BCS championships right now, while you only have one.' And LSU fans seem to have selective amnesia forgetting that it was a SPLIT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

But even National Champion/BCS controversy aside, the PAC-10 has been beating the SEC consistently in head-to-head matches since the turn of the millennium. And I don't care how you try to spin the numbers, the SEC has been on the losing end of the head-to-head conference battles since 2000.
