Guess we should call this the big-money conference now.

I've been calling them that for years. No wait, that's the SEC.

Re: Pac 12 - Conference Discussion
1. Oregon - Most of the offense returns, which is impressive enough, and the defense should be no worse than last year
2. Stanford - Too much of Harbaugh's Stanford remains, so despite the coaching change, the Cardinal should still be tough
3. Washington - Going to take a flyer on the Huskies; Locker's erraticism actually cost them a couple of games last year
4. USC - Too much talent in LA for Kiffin to screw up. Last year might be a hint of some of the perpetual near-mediocrity, though.
5. Arizona State - the Sun Devils could/should have the PAC 10's top defense. Can they get something out of the passing game?
6. Arizona - The Wildcats have to strengthen a few areas on defense and need to see more consistency out of their offense
7. Utah - Maybe underrating them here but the transition to playing an actual full-season BCS conference slate may require an adjusment period for Whittingham's team.
8. California - Something about Tedford's teams of the last three or four seasons cries "mailing it in" all too often. More talented than the results.
9. UCLA - I'm rating them higher than others and even THIS ranking is less than what the UCLA brass had envision three years ago when they hired Skippy.
10. Oregon State - Very disappointing 2010 season from the Beavers. They'll need to find a new back to help keep the offense balanced. Defensively... ho hum.
11. Colorado - A lateral move in the conference standings. Apparently, though, with a bigger share of the conference revenues.
12. Washington State - Compared to the infamous 2009 team, this year's squad is downright dangerous.

Pac-12 not expanding again...for the moment.

So, at least we have one league not rushing to get to 16.

Basically, the Pac-12 is protecting their network plans with this move.

Re: Pac 12 - Conference Discussion
I doubt many teams would be signing up for these in a few years once the B1G/Pac12 alliance takes effect

Looks like this will be a banner year for the COnference of Champions.

Re: Pac 12 - Conference Discussion
Going to the BC game next September. Do they tailgate in Compton? Is this something that visiting fans can do or do I need to contribute money to the USC alumni association or something?

I think you should wear your "Black people who voted for Obama are stupid and should not be allowed to vote" t-shirt when you go to Compton...
