UF #1, Utah #2, USC #3, Texas #4

[4LSU]

_ We need a playoff system but I don't believe the PAC 10 would be the only conference against it. I also don't believe USC would not show up for a playoff game if the Rose Bowl were eliminated. I gained a tremendous amount of respect for the PAC 10 while living in the Pacific Northwest. USC is a powerhouse that produces a tremendous amount of NFL players. I don't believe we leave with 4 post season winners, we usually leave with a team that should have been in the BCS championship game...not in it. This year was one of the few years I agreed with the matchup. Great game. _

The PAC 10 has won a number of national titles in a number of sports. The excellence of their sports programs can't be denied and I was in no way attempting to dimish the achievements of its member schools. USC is an elite school and its accomplishments speak volumes toward its own excellence.

I don't know the why of it, but the PAC 10 has refused to go to the conference title game and I think we have to look no further than that to find the reason for USC not being in more BCS title games. While some teams are gaining BCS points and national pub winning conference title games, the PAC 10 teams sit at home watching other highly ranked teams play each other on national TV. Shoot me, but when they do damage to their own best interest I'm not gonna feel to sorry for them.

I have to be honest and tell you that I'm not that upset with who has been in the BCS title games.

another point needs to be remembered here, 4l, and that is that according to ncaa rules, a conference must have 12 member schools in order to have a conference championship game, the mac being the first conference to do so. the pac 10, obviously, has only 10 member schools. so...it's not as easy as you make it out to be. but, surely you do not question the caliber of the trojans' football program since pete carroll took over. the best record against top 10 opponents, and the best overall record over the last 7 seasons are nothing to sneeze at(among bcs schools). granted there could have been at least 2 more bcs championships, but the cards did not fall their way as they did for other schools. but, i'm spending too much time defending a program that certainly doesn't need my help. geaux cajuns!!

I don't think they really care about (the Pac 10) what goes on elsewhere and I really doubt they feel they are damaging their own best interests. It's kind of like they are in their own world. USC dominates the West and the rest just try and get close. USC is an exciting team to watch and you have to have respect for a coach that churns out the champions that Pete Carroll does.
