TOUGH START FOR PAC 10 CONTINUES
If your not in LA, its been a tough start to the season for the Pac 10. Oregon State continued that trend last night getting manhandled on the smurf turf by Boise State. At least the Pac 10 hasn’t been shut out by a D-I-AA team yet this season.Â

sure Michigan beat PSU, but they had a medicre year overall. And PSU looks likely to slip back into the middle of the pack again this year.
I don’t consider Iowa to be at the elite level but they are close. How long has it been since they were in realistic contention for a MNC at the end of the year?
Overall I see the Pac 10 and Big 10 as pretty simmilar from year to year and the Pac 10 team usually wins the Rose Bowl.
I certainly don’t care enough to get upset at the Stanford/SDSU result. I’ve got a news flash for you father figure, the celler dwellers in every conference are not very good. It’s not like Stanford lost to a 1AA team like some other teams this weekend.

Other than the SEC, what conference has more than 2 “serious” teams?
The Big 1O has tOSU and Michigan (with PSU taking Michigan’s spot last year).
The ACC has maybe Virginia Tech, though they have not been in MNC contention for awhile. FSU has 40 something yards rushing for the season and one of the games was against Troy? That’s major suckage. Miami lost to FSU, so they are a step further back.
The Big East is still the Big East. It’s a shame we won’t know how good the couch burners really are since they don’t play anybody. But nobody besides them and Louisvile could come close to being considered serious.
The Big XII has Texas and maybe Oklahoma on the way back (but they lost to a Pac 10 school last year and have looked weak this year) and also maybe Nebraska is on the way back (but let’s see how they look against USC, they could win that game or they could also get crushed like Arkansas).
And for every Stanford or Oregon State embarassment, it is easy to point at a Northwestern, or a Vandy or a Duke, or….
