Best Conference?

[OSU8085]

which conference is the best? I say the Pac Ten and its 4 BCS contenders (I think the 4 teams in the Pac Ten are better than any other top 4 in any other conference, plus the Pac Ten has great depth with UCLA, OSU, UA and Wazzou also in the mix)

News flash: Pac Ten 0-3 in bowl games so far. And the prospect for a win in the rest of the bowls aren't promising.

Pretender, not contender.

This has been the worst bowl season I can remember for the P10, usually we do quite well.

I'm not sure what you talking about the last 3 games not having a chance, I'm saying we'll win but we are favored in 2 of the games and the other is being played in the same city as the school

But as the east coasters always tell me when the PAc Ten dominates bowl games: Bowl games mean absolutely nothing (Sarcasm cause I think they do matter even if we are sucking right now)

I'm not surpised to see disappoitning teams like UO and ASU lose in trap games but UCLA also??? eek

Sry, but three losses by embarrassing amounts to out of conference teams does not inspire confidence.

It was a huge reach for you to nominate your conference as the best before the bowl games. USC is the only team in the pac ten that anyone respects.

But if you still cling to any pretensions now, you're a hopeless 'homer', incapable of seeing the truth right in front of your face.

Until the pac ten crowns another champ other than USC, unless the conference as a whole learns how to play defense, and stop playing the playground football their currently famous for, they will never be in the same league as the premier conferences. A good 1AA team would do very well in todays Pac Ten.

Do I hate the Pac Ten? No. Do they inspire fear and terror on the football field? OMFG no. USC has great talent, but if they had to play in the real football conferences like the SEC, Big Ten, Big Twelve, they'd have to play at a higher level of play each week than they do in the pac ten.

In the pac ten all they need to do is show up and the game is half won.

See now I just lost all respect for you.....calling the big 12 much better than the pac ten...what a joke

I certainly don't see the Pac-10 as the best conference before or after what happens in the bowl season. I'd go with the SEC. Every single weekend in the SEC is two great teams matched up against one another. With four teams over the 10 win mark before bowl season..that's pretty much unheard of. I think that the Big10 also may be a contender for the top conference, but in my opionion the SEC has way to much speed for the Big10 to handle..

As far as Pac10 v. BigXII .. I'd say they are pretty even..right now.

And last but not least here's the Pac10 matchups this year versus in my opionion the top conferences (and Notre Dame..)

Arizona State (1-0)
W - Colorado (2-10) - Big XII

Arizona (0-1)
L - Lousiana State (10-2) - SEC

Stanford (0-1)
L - Notre Dame (10-2) - Ind.

California (1-1)
L - Tenesse (9-3) - SEC
W - Minnesota (6-6) - Big Ten

UCLA (0-1)
L - Notre Dame (10-2) - Ind.

USC (3-0)
W - Arkansas (10-3) - SEC
W - Nebraska (9-4) - Big XII
W - Notre Dame (10-2) - Ind.

Oregon State (0-0)

Washington (0-1)
L - Oklahoma (11-2) - Big XII

Washington State (1-1)
L - Auburn (10-2) – SEC
W - Baylor (4-8) – Big XII

Oregon (1-0)
W - Oklahoma (11-2) – Big XII

PAC TEN VERSUS
Big XII (26-24) - 4-1
SEC (39-10) 1-3
Big Ten (6-6) 0-1
Notre Dame (10-2) 1-2

Even as a BigXII backer as I am and I agree with you to an extent on BigXII v. Pac10... that's kind of a pointless score to bring up..

He implied that the Pac 10 has always been better than the Big 12, so there ya go.

That being said, it's been a really down year for the Big 12. Worst I've seen in a long. long time.

I'll admit I wasn't really cognizant of how bad the Big 12 was when I made my statement.

As I write this tho, Mizzou is ahead of OSU 31-21, and Ok. State beat Bama so maybe the Big 12 can salvage some pride.

Best the Pac 10 can do is a 3-3.

Edit: OSU pulled out a win over unranked Mizzou. Kudos, the decision to go for two at the end was gutsy, I'll grant ya that.
