That dude is a hack.

This X 10000000000000000000000000000000000000

Oregon v Auburn (we'll see this one played out)
Stanford v Arkansas
USC v LSU
Washington v Alabama
Oregon St v South Carolina
Arizona St v Mississippi St
Arizona v Florida
Cal v Georgia
UCLA v Tennessee
Washington St v Kentucky

Also, don't take Plaschke seriously. He's an idiot, and writes stuff like this accidentally on purpose. He's the one who called L.A. "a bRuin football town" LOL

These casual Pac10 fans who jump on the bandwagon have no idea what's in store for them

They will be casually incensed, as only casual fans can be, if Oregon loses.

Then they will casually go about their business, but casually angrier than usual.

Bill Plaschke is the douche w/ a lisp on Around the Horn ... a USC homer, Petey Carroll fellator.

You could not be more wrong. Plaschke is a ucla homer. He rarely has anything positive to say about SC (and btw Carroll doesn't coach at SC anymore, thought you should know). He writes multiple articles a year about how SC is done and fUCLA is the new king of the PAC.

But he does say thank you for hid increase in readership since his article is linked here.

The SEC also brags about having the best game environments, but that was before the emergence of Oregon's Autzen Stadium. With the noise and proximity of fans, Autzen is now generally considered college football's toughest venue. I've been to most of the SEC joints, and none of them are filled with the same constant roar and visible oppression. And, sure, places such as Alabama and Florida and Tennessee are draped in tradition, but nowhere in the SEC can you find the history of the Coliseum, the majesty of the Rose Bowl or the sheer beauty of Washington's Husky Stadium.

Except for one thing. None of their six BCS title victories came against a Pac-10 school. This was especially true in 2003, when Louisiana State and USC shared the championship. I attended the final game for both teams that year, and, like the oddsmakers, I would have rated USC at least a touchdown favorite if they had met for the title. OK, I'm just being nice. The Trojans would have stomped them.

---

I'm fine with USC sharing the title that year, but how on earth can you watch the two teams in their final games and determine that USC was considerably better?

While the Pac-10 only has three teams in bowl games,

We could end the argument with that alone.

SEC, SEC, SEC!!!!

Its pretty simple, really- When you are the conference all other conferences are chasing, you are the best conference.

I love how for part of his argument he just manages to state as fact that Stanford would beat everyone in the SEC this year and that in 04 USC would have pounded LSU. Oh Bill Plascke thinks the Pac 10 would have won, Im totally convinced now

You picked all 5 Pac 10 schools in these matchups. I just want you to be aware of your buffoonery.

buffoonery... good word
