College Football

C'mon now. Let's take the PAC-10 they have 9 National Champions in the modern age of which 7 of those are USC, the other two are UCLA with one and Washington with one. The SEC has 17 National Champions in the same time period with Alabama having 7 , LSU and Florida with 3 apiece and Tennessee with 2 and Georgia and Auburn with one each. Whether an area of the country is an innovator or not the measure is championships. Football may have crossed the Mississippi a long time ago but championships with the exception of USC have stayed in the SEC....I mean even Vanderbilt went to a bowl game last year and won......When was the last time Stanford did?? Was that 2000? You have Stanford, Washington and Washington State which are all weaker than any of the SEC teams...... The SEC is a far more balanced and tougher conference and that is why more champions come from the conference. USC is a great program but outside of them there is not really much to brag about....Last year UCLA beat UT at home but you saw what kind of team UT had last year...weak... There is more parity in college football, that I will agree with you about. Enjoy your season I know I will....The Pac-10 is always “weak” to all of the Midwesterners, Southerners, and Easterners. Then, bowl season starts and the Pac-10 shines–year, after year, after year, after frickin’ year. The MWC and WAC are better than you think, too. Football crossed the Mississippi river a long time ago, boys. Most of the creativity and evolution of offensive football has come from this part of the country. (Thus, “West Coast Offense”.) Out West, the best athletes play offense. In other areas, the best athletes tend to be on the defensive side of the ball. There is probably more parity in D-I football in the present that in any period during my lifetime. That’s why it’s just so damn fun to watch!
Pac-10 is not as weak as everyone says but top to bottom it’s not strong. To me there is much more balance between the conferences this year.
Oh, and how about the Vols? lol They suck.
UCLA punks Tennessee (again) at home, USC beats Ohio State in front of 106,000 not-so-friendly fans, and Oregon comes back to beat Purdue. MWC member TCU throttles Virgnia, and Boise St. blanks MAC member Miami (OH). Keep in mind the relatively good week the MAC had with wins over Colorado and Michigan St. Yep, we play football out West boys. USC, TCU, BYU, Cal, Texas, and Boise St. all look to be for real.

TCU beat Virginia a team that was beat by William and Mary D2 the week before.
Florida will beat the Vols by 20
USC was favored to win over Ohio State
Miami (OH) is garbage
Oregon had a nice win but Purdue is a mid-tier Big Ten school. It would be the 3rd best in the Pac-10
You left out the following:
Stanford lost to Wake Forrest
Hawaii beat Washington St.
Minnesota beat Air Force
Tulsa beat New Mexico
BTW: Not a freaking chance you can claim any Texas team is in the west. Try saying that to a Texan - It is it’s own country.
I wouldn't say that UCLA punked Tennessee really more accurate to say that Tennessee punked themself. BYU looks very good I will grant you that one.UCLA punks Tennessee (again) at home, USC beats Ohio State in front of 106,000 not-so-friendly fans, and Oregon comes back to beat Purdue.

I didn't get that this weekend.......I got a different message......For the last 90 seconds against Nebraska, this was the prediction of the year! For the previous 58:30 of the game, this was the worst prediction in history.I’m such a homer…Virginia Tech will be in the title game!!! Tyrod Taylor will emerge as a top 3 Heisman candidate!
