Show me where PAC 10 schools have reached out and been turned away?? Looks like to me Washington played a SEC team so that defests your so called statement of fact. Almost EVERY Thursday night game gets good ratings duh, thats why they air Thursday night football so next? You guess is purely hypothetical that PAC 10 schools could beat SEC teams - so please Oregon - you worry about your little "civil war" to play in the Rose Bowl or Holiday Bowl (I think this is the bowl you guys play in the most) and let the real teams out east deal with the National Championship. There is a reason why PAC 10 games are so late - NOBODY out east cares!!! Plus you lost to the alleged #6 team in the nation as we all know if they played, hell even in the PAC 10 they would have a couple of losses. Boise State is a sorry team that plays nobody - oh yeah you will come back with but they played Oregon so like I said, NOBODY!!
Hell, if the NCAA didn't have their noses so far up USC's butts USC wouldn't have crap as we all know they turned a blind eye regarding the Reggie Bush issue!!!
Again go to the Rose Bowl and play the winner of the second worst conference of the year (Big East is #1, Big 12 I mean Big 10 is #2 and PAC 10 is #4, just ahead of a sorry ACC).
Mike Bellotti has said numerous times he has called EVERY SEC team for a home and home matchup. He got Tennessee, and Georgia (but they already have one foot out the door).
Pac-10 teams can beat SEC teams look at the last few years at the record vs SEC teams. Get out of your bottle and come to reality, Pac-10 can play with anybody.
Little civil war... Ill bet it gets a higher rating than Florida/FSU. Or Auburn/Bama.
The reason pac-10 games are late is because of the former commish. Rumor is they will be going after a primetime slot on Fox or NBC. And its funny how Oregon has played on more primetime games than almost every SEC team... if people didnt care, ESPN/ABC wouldnt show it.
USC is a dirty program... but its funny how UT best player got off from robbery pretty ironic. And if you think SEC teams are clean, I got stories on Erik Ainge well at UT. USC is just like every other major program... dirty. Get over it.
Boise plays a better non conference schedule than Florida and Bama. And who cares about Boise... the loss meant NOTHING to Oregon. And I said that right after the loss, that it just takes Oregon out of a NC game thats it.
