re: Pat Forde grades the Pac-10 and SEC

The SEC WEST has more bowl eligbile teams than the entire Pac 10 conference. We cannibalize ourselves. He is just butthurt his Boise St. bus is gone.

The Pac-10 cannibalizes itself more than any other conference because of its 9 conference game slate.

Ted Miller is the Pac-10 blogger on ESPN, he is from SEC country but does a great job with the Pac-10 beat. He has a great write-up on how the Pac-10 beats itself up and what it has to overcome: ESPN Link

It has a sensationalist headline but he readily admits that a few paragraphs in. Regardless of your opinion on the Pac-10, I would recommend reading it.

Having said that, it's definitely a funny year for the Pac-10. You know how Georgia was a little schizophrenic this year? That's how Cal, Oregon St, Arizona, Washington and USC all played. For the first 8 games, Cal beat down opponents at home and got beat down on the road. OSU beat highly ranked Arizona, lost to Washington, beat down Cal, lost to UCLA and Washington St (lol), crushed USC and then got blanked by Stanford. Very weird season, and the cannibalization is worse than usual this year.
