The PAC12 THREAD v.2

[WhiteMamba]

49ers new stadium will host P12 CG a few times

not unless they change the current PAC CCG system. Best record PAC team hosts game @ their own stadium.

Definitely unique.

 

[RegentDenali]

In all seriousness, a neutral site seems the way to go if one that is fair to both divisions could be found. Vegas would actually seem a good site. No PAC teams in the state, not too difficult or expensive to travel to, even from the most Northern teams and with the tourism there, the money that could be made would be crazy!!

Vegas working great for the PAC12 bball championship. It would be a perfect location for Rebel games, the PAC football championship, a bowl, college football playoff, Super Bowl (if it's big enough).

 

[WABLTY]

I really don't like having the best record host. A championship game shouldn't have that much of an advantage built in. In college football especially, it's a really big deal. Vegas would be ideal due to a sort of central location, travel options, etc.

projected UNLV upgrade to Sam Boyd or to replace it would be approx 60000 seat

Forgive me 4d20 for being a little gratuitous there at your expense.

I thought maybe they missed a week or so too however the more I thought about the scenario, it just didn't make sense.

So I'm fairly certain it's just a typo somewhere along the line.

If I'm wrong, I guess I'm the dick.

Mamba, can you shed any light on the tabulation total disparities?

As for myself, I missed the 1st week. I wish I'd got in on it. Maybe I'd be higher in the overall.

Now just win out and kick the crap out of whatever the B1G sends your way (probably tOSU)!!

Not to sound like a homer, but Oregon needs to finish regular schedule then win the PAC12 championship before looking at the Rose Bowl, nothing is set in stone yet, and shit can happen any weekend in this conference.....

besides usc vs nd what are some of the other big ooc games played yearly in the pac 12?

The only other game that is an ooc traditional game is Stanford vs ND.

No others really.

The PAC and B1G have always tried to schedule a fair amount of home n homes.

Washington and USC have always had the toughest OOC in years past.

Many other teams in the PAC are now on par with those 2 in the ooc strength of schedule when looked at as a whole not just a yearly snapshot.

Only speaking for Oregon.... the Ducks have had a pretty good OOC schedule of late including some traditional powerhouses such as Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and also had the neutral sight LSU game.

In the future Oregon has aTm, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Nebraska.

Unfortunately for our fans we have had 2 great teams cancel a home and home in Kansas State and Georgia. Those would have been nice.

Thanks for asking.

Most of our conference's rivalries fall in conference. Outside of the Stanford/SC rivalries with ND we dont have those FLA vs Miami/FSU or Clemson vs SC ooc games like yall do with the SEC vs ACC thing going on.

Its mainly PAC vs B1G ooc games that most of us like to see. The Rose Bowl is obviously the ultimate goal for most PAC teams outside of USC and these B1G vs PAC games give us a good measuring stick.

 

[tabascojet]

so the newcomers have the only thing resembling ooc yearly rivalries? utah v utah st, utah v byu, and colo vs csu. got it.

 

[WhiteMamba]

not the pickem

this isnt the official pickem. Utah WSU is still off due to Wilson's injury status that is up in the air still.

lines posted so far.

Washington @ Oregon State - 3 1/2

tie breaker game ASU @ UCLA + 2 1/2

SoCal @ Colorado +22 1/2

Oregon @ Arizona +19 1/2

Cal @ Stanford + 31 1/2

Utah @ WSU off

ya, I suppose you are right. Didnt even think of Utah and Colorado. Shame on me.

Hasnt sunk in I guess.

true.

However Oregon will be a minimum of 2 td favorite in all the rest of the games including a potential CCG.

So they have a distinct inside track advantage here.

But that's why we play the games.

I don't see any remaining problems for 0regon. Unless my pick for the south happens. USC.

No one on their schedule nor the South favorite is the type of team that gives duckberg any kind of trouble. It's cruise control to the Rose Bowl.

We can always hope for the upset though!

I would have missed picking the UW vs OSU spread by 6 or 7 points.

Would have had it UW as the fg favorite instead of OSU being sech.

So you know which way I am leaning on my pickem.

Take the Beavers.

Not seeing it.

I think Mannion is going to flat out abuse Ducre. The guy will have like 5 personal fouls and 2 pi's in the first half and will get burned like 5 more times.

UW 30
Beavers 42

 

[SUBuddha]

Just want to come in and do my penance for having the hubris to believe Stanford could win out. I am one sad panda still. Think I might still be hungover from Saturday. Teaching that 8 hours class yesterday was murder.

its because both are reeling and the game is a home game for the beibers. thats 3 points no matter what which means at home UW would be favored and neutral would pretty much be a push.

Toss up right now, if Myles starts at QB I'm liken the chances, But as Iron said there is one DB that can handle his position and if Mannion goes his way it could be a long night for the Dawgs defense
