The PAC12 THREAD v.2

[WhiteMamba]

I only see 3 top25 teams. But they may improve. Especially curious about UW and USC, but I obviously can't count them as top25 just yet.

Stanford seemed to lose a bit last year. Hope they bounce back stronger this year.

No

I purchased my tix last week.. Season number 20...

I also requested 4 CW tickets. As it is @ OSU I am not sure if I have enough points yet. Lots of people ahead of me.

Even if I don't get them through Oregon I will for sure be going one way or another. I love going to Reeser for CW.

Reser is the best stadium in that state.

a championship game an hour from san fran?? what's the draw? all the indian food buffets you want?

I have 10 SEC teams in the preseason top25 SoS rankings.

I have 1 Pac12 team in the preseason top25. Cal at #25.

USC is close, and among the better Pac12, @ #28, followed by UCLA @ #30 and then Stanford @ #33.

You guys should stick to narrowing the schedule down to 3 and 4 games to harp on, rather than overall schedule.

That maybe true, but there is a lot of projections in that post. Much easier to real numbers than projections. These things tend to have an ebb and flow to them. I am in the camp that population trends will be a long term bwnefit for the Pac and they will be better over the next 10 yrs than the preceding 10

If it's not in Vegas than it should stay as is. Hell the only time it was attended was when it was at Autzen.

Was that the free "420" give away at the gate???

The PAC has always been a 1 team conference anyway. Outside of USC it doesn't matter.
Schedule anyway you like because it wont make a difference anyway.

Well it's based off last years real numbers on this years schedule. The flaw is that it doesn't project forward and relies only on real numbers. I believe most people would agree that both USC and Washington should be improved etc. Or like the previous year it no doubt undervalued the Pac12 at the start of the year, because they were much improved by the end of the year and the #2 conference. Proper projections would have fixed that.

I would like to see Reser "boxed in" on the west end and opened up like the north side on the south side of the stadium. Now we be talking, but I don't think enought people would fill that bowl.
Talked to my bro about tickets last weekend, he'll get em soon.

Possibly. Whatever works so it's not the embarrassment the game has been the last two years

Fixed it.

I was thinking more in terms of history, not just right now.

All the past is irrelevant. We are entering a new era, the four-team playoff era. For better or worse, things are going to change. Scheduling, CCG's, conferences themselves. It'll all work itself out, eventually, and all this discussion will become moot (and essentially, be muted).


Real proud working that moot/mute thing in there...

Go ahead and reel off all the PAC teams, not named USC, to ever win a National Championship and the years they won them.

We'll wait.

UCLA and Wash are both top 30 programs all time. Both have NC. Donohue had UCLA run on all gears. Don James was a coaching legend.

So when someone who pays for season tickets says I don't want to see them drop playing another conference rival for an additional home game against fuckstain state they are crying.

If the SEC can make the playoffs with 8 IC's then the other conferences will likely follow suit. Why make the road to a championship harder than you need to. We, as season ticket holders or just fans who love to see quality games all lose in the end. ALL OF US.

My guess is that if you played a quality BCS team, 2 cupcakes, then won the PAC CG, then the NCCG, you wouldn't be too concerned that you played 2 cupcakes. Just saying.
