Oregon (good) beat Tennessee (bad) and suddenly the PAC is the cock of the walk?
Cardinal vs
Alabama : tie in 1927 and loss in 1935
Arkansas : won in 1970 with John Ralston (PAC champs that year)
Auburn : never played
Florida : never played
Georgia : won in 1978 with Bill Walsh
Kentucky : never played
LSU : won in 1977 with Bill Walsh
Ole Miss : never played
MS State : never played
Missouri : won in 1971 with John Ralston (PAC champs that year)
South Carolina : never played
Tennessee : never played
Texas A&M : lost in 1992 with Bill Walsh (PAC champs that year)
Vanderbilt : never played
How the hell do we really know how good Stanford is when they haven't played a SEC school since Bill Walsh was there in the 1970's?
Everybody talked about how good Oregon was yet on the field....
Oregon 19
Auburn 22
Oregon 27
LSU 40
If Stanford is so great how come we never see them playing a SEC school to really know?

Stanford looks pretty damn good to me.

Oregon is on another level right now, this is their greatest team ever and it's not close. Mariota and De'Anthony Thomas are superstar athletes.

Stanford could line up and play grown man football for 60 minutes with any SEC team.
Oregon lives off of the spread option up tempo gimmick along with the defenseless PAC-12 and would get demolished by an SEC schedule.

Maybe, and maybe not.
How will we really know until it actually happens.
I can think of 4 or 6 schools who I would take to win over Stanford.

So you can't be good unless you play against the SEC

I'm talking offensively, Stanford has a very Pro-Style approach and loved between the tackles north and south running. It looks like they have some issues defensively (Skov is a freaking beast though)

Stanford looks to play big boy SEC style football more than almost any other team outside of the sec at this point in time. I think they match up well with most teams in the SEC this year.

I'm hoping Tenn jumps ship to the big10, I want to win some ball games again.

Don't forget about Wisconsins offensive philosophy either there buddy. They're pretty between the tackles smash mouth football also.

Yeah. Pretty much. For instance:
2012 Alabama 41 Michigan 14
2012 South Carolina 33 Michigan 28
2010 Miss. St 52 Michigan 14
See how that works? It tells us all we need to know about Michigan.

Game wasn't as close as the score indicates.
Stanford is a slow team. I'd take Ole Miss over them all day.

STFU with this tired shite. In 2010 they destroyed a weak-arse Tennessee, then was proclaimed the SEC killer before Auburn and LSU. This year is following the exact same script. SEC defenses struggled in 2010 as well. How'd it turn out in the end?

Well, considering there are no Pac-12/SEC bowl tie-ins outside the BCS, that leaves any potential matchup at the vagaries of OOC scheduling.
Stanford played Notre Dame and SJSU every year for the past 10 or so years. The SJSU series will go on hiatus and will be replaced with Northwestern for a 6 year series. There are very limited opportunities to play home and home (which I think Stanford will rightly demand) unless Stanford is invited to play at JerryWorld or a similar game.
How many SEC teams will deign to come play in 50,000 seat Stanford Stadium and not be on TV until 10pm EST?
(eta: meant to say the current top SEC teams - no one will give Stanford credit for beating Tennessee, etc - or no more than SEC fans are currently giving Oregon)
Stanford and Oregon are very good football teams. UCLA is a decent team. Washington might be a decent team. The rest are meh. Cal is hot garbage right now.

Tennessee is the only SEC school willing to go on the road and play elite competition.
Another reason we don't belong in this league anymore imo.
