how much bitching do we hear from Texas the next couple of days?

[Coach34]

they didnt want any of this tonight either, but they will say they could have done better

 

[bulliegolfer]

Probably....but they couldn't handle FL. They barely got by Ohio State.

asdf

USC was yet again one of the most dominant teams in the country, and but for slipup to Oregon State (which is no worse than losing at home to Ole Miss) would have at least played Florida closer tonight if not won

 

[farley662]

I hope you are joking.

 

[Frances Drebin]

Losing to Oregon State is ALOT worse than losing to Ole Miss. Did you happen to catch the Cotton Bowl?

 

[Temple of the Dawg]

(which is doubtful and I know since I live in DFW), they will keep their damn mouths shut. They barely got by the second best team in the Big 10 who was led by a true freshman QB. They looked like **** for most of that game on offense. Florida would have beaten them by 20+ the way they played aGAINST tOSU.

Mississippi would beat Oregon State by 30. They only scored 3 points on Pitt. They might score negative points against Mississippi's defenese (as in UM's defense would score more points than it gave up).

 

[dogfan96]

one of them was Pac-10 offensive player of the year and the other was his brother, who is also a big playmaker for them. At full strength, Oregon State is comparable to Mississippi and I'm pretty sure they finished with the same record. And SC is the best football team I've seen this year.

 

[Bdog9090]

The Pac-10 mans up and gets a conference championship, i don't feel sorry for USC. If they picked up a couple more teams and had a conference championship, USC would be playing in the national title game with regularity.

 

[patdog]

when the NCAA added a 12th game, they were the only conference that used it to add a 9th conference game to their schedule. They're the only major conference where every team plays every other team (unless you accept that the Big East is a major conference).

 

[FlabLoser]

USC was yet again one of the most dominant teams in the country, and but for slipup to Oregon State (which is no worse than losing at home to Ole Miss) would have at least played Florida closer tonight if not won

And that is precisely why the PAC-10 should sac up and get a damn conference championship game. Had they played that extra game against a quality opponent and won, they might have had a shot at playing Florida. But since the PAC-10 can't man up like that, they were punished for it this year. Good riddance.

 

[Dawgtini]

would be nice additions to the PAC-10 and allow them to have a championship game........hmmmm USC vs UTAH in a championship game.....think the winner would have gotten a shot a UF?

/obvious

 

[msudawg12]

their conference sucks terribly and only one(USC) maybe two teams are even relevant each year

 

[dogfan96]

SC is SC. Oregon, Oregon State, and Cal can play with anybody from the SEC this year outside of Florida.

 

[patdog]

It's better than any other conference out there except the SEC. The PAC-10 has been underrated for years.

 

[Dawgtini]

I think I read that somewhere. So does that make the MWC the Shiznit or do we just celebrate that the PAC-10 played all but one of their 5 bowl games before New Year's day against MUCH weaker competition.?

 

[patdog]

The PAC 10 had at least 2 wins vs the MWC.

Arizona - 31, BYU - 21
Cal - 42, Colorado St. - 7

Over the 1998-2007 period here's the PAC 10s record against other conferences:
