Now some numbers on how the Pac 10 has done against other BCS leagues in general during the BCS era. Here are the records for the Big 12 vs. each other league:
Vs. SEC 10 - 7
Vs. Big 10 34 - 22
Vs. Big 12 27 - 27
Vs. Big East 10 - 7
Vs. ACC 6-6
Total w/l vs. other BCS conferences: 87 - 69
In short, at this point during the BCS era, no other BCS conference has a winning record in head to head competition against the Pac 10.
If you're thinking it's all because of USC, it's not. Here is how the group of Pac 10 teams OTHER than USC did in games against other BCS conference teams:
Vs. SEC 6 - 7
Vs. Big 10 26 - 22
Vs. Big 12 23 - 24
Vs. Big East 10 - 7
Vs. ACC 4 - 5
Total w/l vs. other BCS conferences: 69 - 65
So, even with its top program left out of the equation , teams from that league have held their own against teams from every other BCS conference. Yes, if you leave USC out, they've lost more than they've won against three other leagues. But in no case are they more than 1 game below 0.500. And, overall, they have a winning record in non conference play against other BCS leagues WITHOUT USC.
If you think the Pac 10 is a weak league, you're in "don't confuse me with the facts" mode.

Your post is absolutely correct and logical.
You're way over the Rant's head.

Here's the problem not just SEC fans have and know to be true as well as other conference fans and media outside of liberal land on the west coast know is that outside of USC, and even they would have a difficult time, could not compete week in and week out in the SEC and have a shot to win the SEC however you could plug LSU, Bama, Florida, Georgia, and outside of the down year UT and Auburn into the PAC and they would all have legit shot at winning the PAC every year just like USC does...
