THE PAC12 Thread

[asu_08]

Sac St was a good team last year and can put points up. Not expecting some upset but think the point spread was a bit much. ASU will still attempt to turn it into a statement as they haven't played a game yet. Im sure they'll win big at home. Could end being wrong, but just thought the spread was worth the gamble.

They've won their last 2 games against Pac schools so they're definitely not the typical FCS cupcake. Still, I think ASU covers. Navy's defense is probably comparable to Sac ST's and we scored a TD on our first 7 drives against them. Graham hasn't run up the score in the past but at the same we have a good amount of position battles for 2nd string spots going on defensively and a few young guys/transfers who need to get the first game jitters out of the way, and they can't do that if we run dives every play and call vanilla defenses in the second half. I'm honestly more excited to see the backups play than the starters. Depth was an issue for us last year.

What comes around goes around...

Real or fake? With college football injuries, hard to say
Sweet irony. Duck fans are going to LOVE this one...

Fans at a Cal game booing over a NW player going down with a presumed fake injury to slow down their new uptempo offense!

Silly bear fans.

BTW, don't forget to click the vid of the Georgia bulldog player faking an injury in the Clemson game the other day. Classic faking it. Not even a good attempt at it. Disgraceful!

Steve Sarkisian on faking injuries - "You won't see it from us. You mess with the football gods, it'll come back to bite you."

Power shift is coming west guise. I honestly believe that. While the SEC is still pulling in the top recruiting classes the PAC will continue to get closer and closer to the SEC. It isn't an overnight change where the PAC will all of the sudden be the #1 conference. It may never happen where the PAC wins 7 straight NATTYS. But one thing I am sure of... The PAC can compete with SEC schools now and even more so in the future. Top to bottom PAC is looking very good.

No its not "homerism" its just straight up going that way, you watch the Pac will have the most upset games in conference play this season.....

Do you mean OOC games mcnabb?

Or are you speaking on the strength of the conference from top to bottom?

 

[Ironbreaker]

Historically the PAC does have the most upsets in conference play, out of the AQ conferences. I believe them and the ACC are neck and neck in that category.

sure isn't the SEC.

Remember that thread.

Last year the top 7 SEC teams were 36-0 vs bottom 7 SEC teams.....

 

[Ironbreaker]

Yeah the SEC is fairly predictable. I was involved in a similar thread at cbs and had to dig for the info, but at the time the pac was hardest to predict and the acc was a very close 2nd. I believe the B12 was the most predictable but I can't recall for sure, and I have no interest in digging up the info again. Did look for a few mins after my last post, but I couldnt find it.
