This just might be the Pac-12's year.
There, I said it, and while realizing that we're only four weeks into the season, there's ample evidence that the Pac-12's depth, overall talent and balance across the league stacks up as well as it ever has against the SEC.

Now, if we could only get an Alabama versus Oregon matchup in the VIZIO BCS National Championship game. That's the game everybody wants to see.Toward the end of Oregon's 59-14 smackdown of Tennessee a few weeks ago, the Ducks' fans chanted, "We want Bama."
And leading up to that game, Oregon offensive lineman Jake Fisher echoed what a lot of people outside the SEC's footprint have been rolling their eyes and saying as the league's national championship streak has swelled to seven in a row.
"They're really big and scary," Fisher said of the Vols, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "So we're all really, really intimidated by the SEC. We're just going to have to keep our minds right."
It was a given that Oregon and Stanford were going to be strong again this season, but where it looks like the Pac-12 has made up the most ground on the SEC is the middle of the pack.

Love the attitude from Oregon. They would pretty much boat race almost everybody in the SEC, and they know it.
 
Oregon should have beaten Auburn a few years ago. If they hadn't ****ed that up, it would have already changed some perceptions.

What's really hurting the Pac-12, though, is the decline of USC. Those NCAA penalties were bull**** and reek of hypocrisy. The head of the panel that imposed the sanctions (and made a bunch of sanctimonious statements about the penalties) was none other than Paul Dee. Paul Dee was head of the NCAA Infractions Committee at the time and... wait for it... is the same Paul Dee who was the Miami Athletic Director at the time everything was happening with Nevin Shapiro (cash, hookers, cocaine). I know I'm going off topic, but **** it. I hope Pat Haden absolutely cleans the NCAA's clock this week asking for an elimination of USC's penalties in light of the NCAA's complete ineptitude, hypocrisy, and inability to level penalties in an equitable manner.

Besides, anyone who even casually follows college football knows what was going on with that Auburn team Oregon lost to.

USC lost their appeal today.

Auburn simply out paid Oregon in 2010.

Pretty much. While Oregon was nickel and diming it with street agents, Auburn boosters were putting 6 figures into organizations run by recruit dads. :lol: This whole thing is so ****ing dirty.

Combined with Gene "War Eagle, God bless" Chizik looking the other way on Michael Dyer failing drug tests, it was the perfect strategy.

:nod:

It's why Chizik got the job. Boosters knew he'd play ball. Just needed to find him an OC, buy him top talent, and let him be the front man while he coached a little defense. The money and chance to win big with an SEC HC salary made it a hell of a better opportunity than fighting for minor bowl eligibility in Ames (even if he'll probably never get another HC job).

What did he make in that gig - $2M a year for 3 years? I could live off that for the rest of my life - even after taxes.
 
USC did get screwed, meanwhile Oregon gets off with a slap on the hand.

Just open it all up and let boosters bribe players all they want to go to their school. That's pretty much what's happening anyway and that way there wouldn't be any false pretenses about the whole recruiting process.
