Yet amazingly enough the PAC manages to play more P5 teams than any other conference and other than SC who played one of those neutral site games at Jerry's World vs Bama, the rest of the conference did home & away series. How is that possible?You think AG has any idea that N.D. & USC have played each other every year since 1946? As far as the N.D./Stanford game, every year since 1997. Before '97 the Fighting Irish & Cardinal met a total of 11 times from 1925 to 1994 w/ 7 of those match ups between '88 & '94.
The PAC doesn't have a mandate yet it plays more P5 opponents on average than any other conference. How is that even possible with no mandate?Yeah this was stupid AG.
It was basically done because Minnesota asked for this exception because they supposedly couldn't get a P5 opponent that season. Looks bad on the B10.
The article was wrong on one thing however, the B12 does have a "one P5 opponent mandate" leaving the PAC as the only conference without one. I hope your conference forces this mandate too eventually so all conferences have a similiar format. If that was added, the B12 now has a CCG coming, it would leave your favorite 8vs9 game schedule as the only difference between the P5 leagues!

Seeing how you choose not to read the facts then I suggest you take a seat on the bench and stop giving me your two cents.Hey good for you putting all that wasted effort into a long winded post I won't read. You have seemingly called out all conferences other than the 12 Pac. Now I have nothing against the Huskies @ all but your gibberish is pointless.
Seeing how you choose not to read the facts then I suggest you take a seat on the bench and stop giving me your two cents.
Oh I know exactly what your pointless point is. The 12 Pack is great & all other conferences can go to hell. Now junior stop nut-swinging off of your conference. If you take a second you'll notice no other fans of the conference are blathering on like you are.
We have a new king of the "copy and paste" post
Show me the person who held a loaded gun to your head and forced you to read and post in this thread and I promise you I will do my best to hunt them down and whoop their ass.Okay I think I know how this works now. If I agree w/ you will you shut the hell up? Funny that you think anyone could get upset by your overly homeristic rants. Tell me again how many Natty's does Washington have & when did they win their last one again? Sorry to ask that question...to all the true Huskie fans out there.
Wait... so, we're counting BYU as a p5 school now?Yet amazingly enough the PAC manages to play more P5 teams than any other conference and other than SC who played one of those neutral site games at Jerry's World vs Bama, the rest of the conference did home & away series. How is that possible?

Isn't that what you were originally bitching about?
