But this stuff is good.Never been to Pullman but Lubbock ain't really a destination place either.

During a down cycle for USC though. For sure that trend isn't going to last a whole lot longer. Only a matter of time before they have a break out year.I heard today that the PAC 12 South hasn't won the conference since they went to a CCG!

The rest of the south? Not so much. More like a pillow fight from the rest of them.
Yeah, he has also had the most embarssing losses in program history as well as being one of the luckiest coaches in history. In the past two years he has beaten essentially 2 division 1 Pac 12 QB's in Rosen and Webb. Solomon was coming back from an injury and has faced every other school's backups. Oregon State was on their 4th string QB and nearly beat him.
Never suggested the north was stocked with world killers.Well , not to say they were great teams but the PAC had five teams in the final rankings and the PAC south had the highest ranked and had three to the norths two.

No south team has seriously challenged for the conf title since going to the 12 team 2 division format. It was a two horse race for the entire time until last year when UW peaked up above the clouds. Those are facts.
USC looks the part of team ready to break that and bring the south their first title. If not next year, then sooner rather than later. I see nothing out of the other 5 down there that says they are trending in that direction. Just my opinion.
The north isn't in much better shape in terms of teams besides UW and possibly Stanford. Feels a lot like 3 teams with a real chance on paper.
Frankly I'm tired of thinking ASU or UCLA look like they might be ready to change their fortunes only to watch them blow up at some point again.
If by young you mean old enough to have been at Husky stadium for the 'All I saw was purple" game with tod marinovich at QB, then yes. Or was there to watch Moon as their QB then sure.LMAO!!! I am guessing you are a Youngin...
No, I mean Young as in ASU and UCLA always do that......If by young you mean old enough to have been at Husky stadium for the 'All I saw was purple" game with tod marinovich at QB, then yes. Or was there to watch Moon as their QB then sure.
I think I've been predicting ASU to rise up at least a half dozen times this last decade and only once have they come close to what it looked like they should be able to reach. This year I'm going 4-8. There is zero chance they are going to under reach my expectations this time.
I was going to say that in order the PAC 12 would finish right behind the MWC and ahead of the WAC, but methinks your marksmanship skills are better than mine. And because I am too old to fight and too high mileage to run I will just say that you are probably close in your picks.PAC North
1. Washington
2. Washington St.
3. Stanford
4. Oregon St.
5. Oregon
6. Cal
PAC South
1. USC
2. Utah
3. Arizona St.
4. UCLA
5. Arizona
6. Colorado
PAC championship game: Washington 24 - USC 17
You need to make that game. Husky Stadium rocks.I was going to say that in order the PAC 12 would finish right behind the MWC and ahead of the WAC, but methinks your marksmanship skills are better than mine. And because I am too old to fight and too high mileage to run I will just say that you are probably close in your picks.
On a side note, my daughter in-law's parents are Huskies and have invited me out for a game this fall. I hope I can make it!!!

I was never on Utah's bandwagon the entire season. Their defense is legit, but you aren't going to win a championship with that offense. Troy is not going to take you there. And Colorado was a feel good story, but they were exposed late in the season. They were another dangerous, but beatable team.Can't argue with all that except last year Utah and Colorado were decent so along with USC so they did hold their own with the north.
That 7th place was from last year based on 2015/16 data. It was not current. I wanted to rank him for what he was paid comparatively last season for the results of last season. He makes under $3/m a year. I think it was like 2.7 or 2.8 last year? Might seem like a lot to you, but that's what it takes to not be the doormat of the division.
The guy loves it there. He walks to work everyday ffs. He sells life on the Palouse about as well as anyone else could. He runs something unique enough to attract a few star offensive players that might otherwise not be that interested in going there as well.
No one can argue he has made WSU football a lot more interesting as well as dangerous since coming there compared to the prior decade.
