[/quote]Why do this? USC is above and beyond any other PAC-10 team, they could do well in the SEC. LSU is not the dominate force in the SEC like USC is in the PAC-10.[quote]

Because, sometimes when I've had this discussion in the past, people say the Pac 10 just has the edge because of USC. However, LSU's 4-0 record against the Pac 10 is just as "important" to the numbers as USC's 4-0 record against the SEC is.

But you're right. It's not quite the same thing. I do think LSU may have been the top SEC program overall during the 2003-2006 period during which it played its four games against Pac 10s but it's obviously not the same as the way in which USC has dominated the Pac 10.

Since we are discussing the BCS era, and we are playing for championships (at least I think that is the objective). How many BCS Championships does the Pac-10 have vs how many the SEC has? Pac-10 has only 1 while the SEC now has 5. That's right, the SEC has 5 of the the last 10 BCS trophies on campus and in the trophy case. Since winning the BCS trophy is the ultimate goal of all BCS confernece teams then the measuring stick for strength should be just that, winning the BCS Championship.

ETA: Only 2 teams have ever won 2 BCS trophys. Which conference are they in?
