Harbaugh is a great coach. I completely forgot about the Michigan angle. His style seems like a pretty damn good fit in the Big Ten. Hell, I'd like to see him take over for Mora Jr as the Seahawks coach.

Every time I watch USC play I'm amazed Joe McKnight doesn't get more touches.

Yeah, I really can't say enough about the guy. I see a lot of similarities with his situation and Sarkisian's at U-Dub. It will be interesting to see what Washington turns into. It's exciting times for the Pac Ten. A lot of teams on the rise.

Maybe a huge momentum shift. After Chris Galippo causes a fumble, USC attacks with Barkley to Butler for a long TD. 21-14.

Here come the Trojans after the Gerhart fumble. Funny how things tend to even out over the course of a game. Quick TD, great throw by the freshman.
Don't wash your hands, because they're about to get dirty again.

Meh, it's certainly not a terrible conference by any means. There's Texas, OSU, and then there's a lot of teams that could win 8 games overall. There's a lot of similar teams in the middle that can all beat each other on any given day. It may not make for a lot of nationally hyped teams, but there's some good teams throughout.

McKnight with a great burst up the middle for an SC TD. Like the announcer said "Don't go anywhere folks, this one's in doubt."
Fun times.

If Miami and USC were to lose... add two more spots for the Badgers. LOL The NCAA is down this year and I agree it would be bad if the Badgers somehow SNUCK into a BCS bid. I don't think they belong but they aren't as bad as people make them out to be either. They've got some really good players and will be one of the favorites to win the Big 10 next year.. imho Last edited by mauchow : 11-14-2009 at 05:07 PM. |

I was just surprised, since I'm hoping Rutgers will get into the Top 25 this week now that we're at 7-2 with the two losses coming against the #5 and #8 teams in the country, but would understand if we didn't make the cut. Just don't see much of a difference between the two programs this year, but not looking for a fight or anything... |

Wisky is probably a decent choice for a BCS spot. I think it is has been awhile since they have been, so they would probably travel well. They'd probably have a better shot if the B10 champ was going to the championship game, as I'm sure the Rose Bowl would take them or Penn State (probably Wisky, since PSU was just there).

Kind of goes back to whether a team should be ranked on its talent (how good they are) or how good their season has been. Rutgers, on talent, is good enough to be in the top 20, but their OOC schedule drags them down. I think they deserve to be ranked this week, though. Probably in the 20-23 range. |

Anyone else watching Florida - Carolina? Cocks down 17-14 with 20 minutes left. I don't think they can win, but they're making it interesting.

Yeah, flipping between that and Iowa-Ohio State (Iowa just tied it with about 2:30 left).
Looking forward to seeing how the SEC officials ensure this Florida victory. They keep getting more and more original! Last edited by Logan : 11-14-2009 at 05:22 PM. |

Oh mah gootness. After sitting in a half-empty brand new stadium countless times, I feel so proud of these kids. The job they (along with the coaching staff) have done is just incredible. I am honored to watch them play.

Presuming Stanford holds on for what would be a landmark victory for their squad, I mean this game just portends how tough the Pac 10 is becoming now.
USC-- perennial BCS contender Cal-- consistent Top 25 team; springboard for skill talent to pros Oregon-- Kelly might be better than Belotti? Arizona-- Stoops now in middle of second straight very strong season Stanford-- Momentum is getting huge; will probably embarass Notre Dame UCLA-- Huge recruiting momentum and clearly improving under Neuheisel UDub-- Sark/Holt recruiting strongly, beat USC and on way up Oreg St-- Riley still one of the most underrated coaches in country ASU & Wazzu still need to improve a lot, but even ASU has Dennis Erickson and has looked good at times (particularly on D). I mean, wow, that's just a gantlet right now for teams to get through--and everyone plays everyone every season.

No doubt that right now the Pac - 10 looks like the deepest, and the best, conference. Will be interesting to see how/if that current depth translates to bowl performances.

Miami scores to make it a 6 point game, but they should be up by 1. North Carolina got a total fucking joke of a TD, where a NC player "fumbles" it forward to a teammate who took it in for the "TD".

Was thinking about ASU the other day. I hated the Erickson hire at the time and it is even worse now that you have added youthful and exciting coaches at Washington, Stanford, Oregon, and UCLA. When you compare him to the other coaches in the Pac 10, Erickson has to look like a dinosaur to high school kids.

Ohio State will be playing in the Rose Bowl.
Is the Pac 10 pretty much decided w/ Oregon or can someone else win it? |

It's interesting to try to translate from one to the other. For instance, last year, in most respects, the Pac 10 was considered down and only had five teams bowl eligible. But all five won their bowl games. Detractors say, "Look, they only had five teams qualify." Supporters say, "They beat each other up all year, and when the NCAA went to 12 games, they didn't add another cupcake OOC to get bowl eligible like some other conferences but instead made it so they all had to play each other every year." So was the Pac 10 bad last year or not? Hard to say. We'll see on this year. I have a feeling they'll do pretty good. The UCLA-USC game is looking more interesting to me right now.

It's in Oregon's control. They win out and it's theirs. But I think Arizona (of all teams, who called that?) can still overtake them and UO and AZ play next week.

BTW, as for last year, I would say the Pac 10 was top heavy. ASU was not good. Stanford was still a year away. UCLA was in its first year under Neuheisel recovering from the crapitude of the Dorrell era. UDub was mired in the last year of the TWill administration. And Wazzu was still Wazzu (also first year under its coach).
There was a clear separation between the top and bottom teams. This year just reflects that a lot of those bottom teams have taken strong forward steps in the past year. Speaking of Wazzu, is their any chance the Boise State coach would take the Wazzu job? They have to do something, and I don't know where they can go now. Unless they try to bring back Price.

Really, really fucking annoying. Miami played very sloppy and deserves to lose, but it just sucks for it to happen like that. I really hope we get an explanation from the ACC on that. The play was fucking reviewed. It was plainly obvious what happened. And they still confirmed it on the field. It's easily among the worst calls I have ever seen in a football game.

I know Florida's probably got it locked up, but as long as it's a 10-point game with 6-7 minutes left can the announcers stop acting like Florida is kneeling down to run out the clock? You'd think Tennessee-Alabama would have chastened them.
And UF misses the FG. Still 24-14. |

Looking closer at the Pac 10 standings, actually come to think of it, Stanford and Oregon State still have a shot, too, if you presume that 2 losses can win the conference. Both Oregon and Arizona have one loss, and they play each other. So if the winner gets a loss elsewhere (and Oregon still has to play rival Oregon State, too, and Arizona plays Cal today), the conference champ could have two in-conference losses. Given that, you would have to say Stanford and Oregon State also still have chances, with two losses in conference so far.
Three or more losses (where USC is now) is pretty much out of the running. Food for thought. Stanford's big win today gives them a big push in polls and standings and presumeably to the fringe of the BCS rankings. They toss on a possible pasting of Notre Dame and manage to beat rival Cal, then they could easily be in line for a BCS berth. But no matter what they do, they're a long shot for the conference championship, meaning the Rose Bowl berth goes elsewhere (probably to Oregon). So if the Pac 10 gets two teams into the BCS, that makes for some interesting bowl pairings down the line. Holiday could go USC, Arizona or Oregon State (I assume USC). Sun Bowl would take Arizona if they're available. I don't think the Alamo Bowl deal starts until next season, so Holiday is still in line to get the Pac 10's #2 (in normal seasons, that is).

I was surprised not only by how the PACten is looking but also the Big East. they four very solid teams in Pit, Cincy, USF,W.Virginia. For whoever said the NCAA was down this year I would disagree and find it interesting to see someone else other than USC vs a Big 12 or SEC team every year.

Will Ohio St play poorly next week against Michigan and will Michigan step up huge and get into a Bowl game?
And yes, I think the NCAA is slightly down this year as far as very good teams go. There are a lot of teams that just aren't that good but are in the top 25. Just one of those years. |

It is on CSTV (via the CBS affilliate). I'm not sure how wide-spread CSTV is -- we have it on Comcast in the sports tier.

Down 14-0 after one quarter, UGA gets right back in the game vs Auburn as Joe Cox suddenly completes three straight passes including a 50 yd TD to Israel Troupe.
