If you want a passing grade on that research you need to go the extra mile. I feel your private school might have failed you on what is good comprehensive research. You would get no better than a c- if I was grading. Of course I demanded a bit more from my students. 
There is no research needed to be done here. Any halfway knowledgable CFB fan knows that the Pac 1 is very weak defensively.
Spoken like a true SEC fan.. While score comparisons aren't the best appraisal, the way USC absolutely destroyed Arkansas at Arkansas, and the way they struggled against many Pac 10 teams certainly could debate your assertion.
I don't think opinions necessarily pass for knowledge.
Wasn't Arkansas the West champ?
Spoken like a true SEC hater. Talk about denial.
Of course they were the west champ, but they were probably the 4th best team in the SEC. Take away McFadden, and where would they be. He was banged up, and limited in that game against USC.
Should I bring up UcheaT/Cal? That's what I thought.
I can't believe that there are people actually willing to argue this. Well, then again, look who I am dealing with.
