Again Scott is going to use twisted logic to somehow justify the PAC 10 failing to garner enough teams to fill their bowl allotment. His new reason is that all of these teams did not play Div1AA or bad Div 1A teams but if you examine each of the teams schedules that did not make bowl games you will find that they did indeed play 1AA teams and bad division 1A teams, as they played such stellar teams as Northern Arizona, Idaho (multiple times) and the 11th member of the PAC 10 San Jose State (multiple times). As far as Nebraska playing Maine what the hell does that have to do with anything or than the fact that you have your story wrong. Houston fumbled on the scheduling snafu and is trying to save grace by blaming Nebraska, the Huskers had told Houston that they had to have signed contracts from ESPN within a certain time frame and Houston failed to produce these contracts until after the time frame was over. Nebraska was actually looking forward to going to Houston as they want to reestablish themselves in the recruiting arena down there.
CASE CLOSED....LMAO only in a myopic morons eyes would you even justify putting forth such faulty logic to justify your response. What the hell does Vandy have to do with the strength of the league? So they have not won a championship of the SEC and this says something about how strong the league is? Vandy is a academic institution that is on the level of an Ivy school and football is not a high priority and actually by putting forth that Vandy has not won a championship just shows how strong the league is as Vandy has had some decent teams over the year but not good enough to pass the big boys in the SEC. By the way when was the last time Cal won a league championship? I think it was thirty years ago does this imply they suck? Wow thats great all of those teams have shared the league title, sort of like the American League Central Division in Baseball, where just like the PAC 10 the two frontrunner's can usually boast good records by beating up teams in an inferior league. By the way your wrong on Zona they won a CO PAC 10 title in 93! All of your logic just plays into the strength of the SEC where the top teams have pretty much built a dynasty that they have been able to sustain for generations and the bottom teams cannot produce teams good enough to overcome the dynasty's. Whereas in the PAC 10 your information leads me to believe that the teams cannot sustain long runs of production year in and year out and when one team has a significant better team then the rest of the league they get an inflated record due to the inferiority of the league. Scott,
all I can go by is what I see and as I said I see that the PAC 10 could not fill six bowl slots this year, now we know the league is not in the elite leagues such as SEC, Big 12, ACC, but I will cut you some slack and say they are near the Big 10 but slightly below due to being very bottom heavy with poor teams but the Big 10 was able to fill all of their bowl allotments and surely you would not say they all played weak OOC schedules, so why could the PAC 10 not do this? Very simple answer the league had two solid teams (CAL, USC), one slightly above average team when they play at home (ASU), two average teams (OSU, UCLA), a below average team (Oreg), three poor teams (Stan, WSU, Zona) and one miserable team (Wash). Thus the league came down to a one game match between USC-Cal as both these teams caught ASU on their turf. In between playing each other these teams were able to feast on poor teams thus producing stellar records. Again other than yourself and a select fews computer rating services the vast majority of people that work in college football rank the leagues this way: SEC, Big 12, ACC, Big 10, PAC 10, this includes Corso, Herbstreit, Beano and Maisel, but their al lwrong and biased and Scott is correct.
