SEC currently has one team in the Top 15, but please, carry on.
Strange that the fawning supplicant of the SEC is the one who is reduced to saying things like this.
I'm not trying to be hostile, just factual. Which PAC 12 team could hang with Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Mich State, or Okie Lite or Fla? Maybe even TCU or North Carolina? Let's be rational here. This is a down year for the PAC 12. Not saying it's going to last forever, but just deal with it as it is.
You don't think Stanford could "hang with Okie Lite"?
Coin flip, but no.
This is so dumb. Oregon did "hang" with Michigan State and Stanford can compete with anyone in the country. FLorida? Seriously? Have you watched them this year? They are awful. Clemson and North Carolina? Good but not great.
Oregon "hung" with MSU (@ MSU) with a QB that had a busted finger and they had a ton of injuries. Oregon beats MSU in the 2d half of the season.
I really don't understand why you think those three teams are sooo great.
There are 9 teams in the Pac that could beat NC in Chapel Hill tomorrow. They've played no one.

Solid argument. I'm particularly persuaded by the use of "totally" and the plea to "be real."
you tend to say things then be unable to support them. I was at bedlam. Oklahoma v Stanford would be a hell of a game. I think Stanford wins. I know, I know, somehow Oklahoma came from behind to beat that powerhouse Tennessee in the almighty SEC, but yea, I think that.
Stanford and Oregon would both hand with those teams and be about 50/50 for beating any of them on a neutral field. Several other Pac-12 teams, starting with USC, would match up on talent and it would just depend on what team showed up that day. No one in the country has more talent than USC. (UCLA either, before the injuries hit.)
I think it's funny that he brings up Michigan State. Oregon lost by 3 points to them on the road when their QB had only spent 3 weeks of practice time in the system and was playing with an injured index finger on his throwing hand. But somehow no one from the Pac-12 can hang with Sparty.
Tons of raw talent on PAC 12 rosters, there's no doubt about that Nik. Lots of lack of showing up too, along with inconsistency and iffy coaching. It's the PAC 12. "The Unbearable Lightness of Being".
Sparty would beat there butts by 21 right now. Come on.
How can you say that? Oregon is playing heads and shoulders above the level they were playing at when they lost by 3 to sparty.
Would this the transfer QB from the Big Sky Conference?
Small suggestion: watch and listen to football media outlets critically, don't just passively accept the ESPN narrative of the week.
I don't understand why my wife says that I'm prone to arguing. Do you know what she might be talking about? LOL. Nice to banter with you guys. This is one of the things that makes sports fun. Go Buffs. (A cool BBall game tonight might be Maryland vs North Carolina.)
Just like there was no reason to play the playoffs last year because Alabama from the SEC was so much better than anyone else, especially the lousy Buckeyes from the B1G. Oops.
If you wanted to give me Stanford or a healthy Oregon against any of the team you listed and 8 points (we within the "smoked" range) I would gladly take your money.
As I have stated before, I will gladly buy into the SEC/ACC hype when they start playing real schedules out of conference including some road visits to legitimate schools in other parts of the country like other conferences do.
