Wow...Ignorance must indeed be bliss..PAC 12 is still light years away from matching the SEC..Pretty pitiful when a team from your conference plays in the Championship game but has to file a waiver for bowl eligibility with a losing record..yeah I could see how you would think the PAC 12 is so close to the SEC...

After LSU and Alabama, they're not that far behind us.

Top 10 in recruiting per Rivals:
SEC - 5 teams
Pac 12 - ZERO

Top 20:
SEC - 9 teams
Pac 12 - 1 team (# 20 Oregon)

Yeah, they're gonna catch the SEC.

Once the SEC starts losing a lot of their regional talent, I'll believe it. HS athletes in SEC states account for 1/3 of BCS schollies but those SEC states only account for 1/6 of the nation's population. It's all about the regional talent, and simply put, no other region has the talent we have.

Never gonna happen.

Many kids get homesick when they are less than an hour a way from home. You add in the distance plus culture shock, No way.

....there will be a few exceptions, but kids tend to stay close to home.

If Barkley comes back, USC will likely be the best team next year. I'd hate to see CLK win a title his first year out of probation.

I thought they'd still be on probation at that point, no?

I thought it was just their bowl ban ended next season

This is going to be their last chance for awhile. The scholarship reductions start this year, since they took a full class last year while they were challenging their penalty.

Did the NCAA go back and change it? The reports in June of the sentencing (lack of a better word at the moment) note it as 4 years probation:

USC punished with two-year football postseason ban - ESPN Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES -- The NCAA threw the book at storied Southern California on Thursday with a two-year bowl ban, four years' probation, loss of scholarships and forfeits of an entire year's games for improper benefits to Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush dating to the Trojans' 2004 national championship.

This sounds like the same crap that was spewed several years back when Florida State et al joined the ACC. That conference was going to overwhelm the SEC in football. Now we know the rest of that story. Seems the same ole #$%@ now with the PAC whatever number they want to be called.

Didn't say they did...Read the post again...They were the qualifier for the Championship Game weren't they??STILL pathetic for a Conference Championship Game participant to finish with a losing record and require an NCAA waiver to even go to a bowl with a losing record..

GA, SC and Arky would also have a legit shot at winning the Pac 12.

I agree, but after LSU and Alabama the rest of the SEC is middle-of-the-road. After UGA, Arkansas, and USCe, there is a HUGE drop-off. In my opinion, the SEC is a superior conference, but the PAC-12 isn't that far behind us.

This is the most intelligent post here.

I believe the PAC 12 has a better record. Or I know they do.

Cool. Since the SEC's been on their run with BCS NCs (2006, why on earth would you go back 11 years?), they're 8-5 vs the PAC 12, and 4 of those losses are compliments of UT.

...because the team that was 10-2 cant attend bowl games


It'd be like if, in 2009, UF had been inelligible and 7-5 Tennessee had to jump in as representative
