USC and Notre Dame are both winning easily in the fourth quarter.
Elsewhere, Stanford is beating ASU (!), Duke is keeping it close against Florida State, UConn is losing to Rutgers, Alabama is having a defensive battle with Tennessee, and Texas is exposing Texas Tech as a pretender. Oh, and Purdue sucks.
I wonder if LSU would get taken to the wire by Davis?
Let’s not play the “X beat Y, who beat Z” game, or else we get this (link goes to BoiFromTroy) …
Georgetown is Better than Cal because Georgetown beat Bucknell who beat Marist who beat Central Conn St who beat Colgate who beat Massachusetts who beat Rhode Island who beat William & Mary who beat New Hampshire who beat UC-Davis who beat Stanford who beat Navy who beat Air Force who beat San Diego St who beat Brigham Young who beat New Mexico who beat Missouri who beat Iowa St who beat Iowa who beat Illinois who beat Rutgers who beat Pittsburgh who beat South Florida who beat Louisville who beat Oregon St who beat California.
Because if you want to use ASU as evidence of how much the Pac-10 sucks, you have to deal with the fact that ASU took LSU (from the SEC) down to the wire.
Then there is one loss Oregon, whose only loss is to #1 USC
You’ve also got 5-2 California, which looks to increase that to 6-2 if they can continue to hold off the Cougars. Cals losses are nothing to sneeze at either. Losing by a touchdown to UCLA and again to Oregon State, another decent Pac-10 team.
Then you have dark horse Stanford. Who would have thought that a team who lost to 1-AA Davis would now be 4-2, 3-1 in conference (they lost to that “weak” Oregon team btw).
Oregon States 3 loses came to ranked teams (Louisville, ASU, and UCLA). Not great, but not bad.
ASU has struggled as of late, as has WSU, both of whom had good starts.
So you have 3 great teams, 3 decent teams, 2 struggling teams and 2 crappy teams. Not what I’d call a weak conference. So Mr. Diss on the Pac-10, even if you might cheer for a possibly stronger conference, i’d say the Pac-10 are easily in the top 4.
You know I actually think I agree with you. In its best year the Pac-10 definitely breaks into the top four conferences. But look on the bright side: once those left-coasters go back to sucking (each other), Tyrone may start to look like a good coach again!

I wonder if ASU would get blown out by Davis.

Pac-10, what’s that?
You must’ve meant the “Pac-1″. That’s a good conference.

How did the SEC sucking come into this conversation?
Aside from it being incorrect, it’s plain mean!!!!

I see, but at the same time, I don’t.

That must make reading the blog difficult. Do you have a program that reads the text aloud and describes the pictures?
October 22nd, 2005 at 11:00:59 pm
Heh.
That’s funny.

Oh yeah, Pac-10 such a weak conference.
Sure we have two terrible teams (UW and U of A).
We also have two undefeated teams. (USC and UCLA)
