I'm thinking about national perception of the conference and overall strength of its football. (This could also be read as what's best for the upcoming media negotiations.) Also, what's best for CU?
Is it better if USC is good, but not great?
Or if they limp to an awful (for them) 5 to 7 wins?
How about if they win the regular season but can't go to the Rose Bowl and an alternate is sent? Is that a disaster or does that send the message that Troy and the state of California are still the kings of college football?
