Bush was a great running back, but if they waited till after the bowl games like they should, Vince Young would have won the Heisman in 2005.

And yes, JD Booty improved alot over the year last year, and he will probably win the Heisman.

Yes, but I'd hardly compare him to the likes of Vince Young and Carson Palmer.. etc... heck I think Troy Smith is twice the QB he is. It's just sad that USC can add another heisman to their statistics because there is no huge standout player. Then ESPN can hype USC even more because of the heisman, and we get stuck in a never ending cycle. :mf_surrender:

I give them credit for scheduling great ooc opponets.They never put gimme games on their schedule. But the Pac-10 is weak though.

I would hardly call USC's schedules "average." USC, IMO, is the all around perfect program right now (unless the alleged recruiting violations are true). They schedule the best OOC schedules in their conference, and even in the nation (amongst BCS schools). They do just about everything right.

Well they have to schedule that OOC, otherwise their schedule would be below average.

The reason I respect USC, is because they will play anybody, anywhere.

Heck in 2004, they played Virginia Tech in Washington DC, and beat them.

Only compared to the SEC. In 2006, I would have put the P10 up against all the other BCS conferences minus the SEC.

The ACC stunk, the B12 stunk, the B10 was average, and the BE was average. You all need to get over this "P10 always sucks" thing. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

Get this, in 2004, the SEC wasn't the best conference in America.

The Pac-10 really isn't deep and with the exception of USC no team has really been that consistent over the past couple of years except maybe Cal to go along with them. I would put the ACC, Big 10, and maybe Big 12 ahead of the Pac-10. Those 3 conferences are usually more consistent and deeper year in and year out than the Pac 10.

Yes it was. I never said the Pac-10 sucks... but I wouldn't rank them #2.

So would I. Notice how I said "in 2006."

I understand what you are saying, but I think if you look at the previous years the Big 10, ACC, and Big 12 are all deeper than the Pac 10. Those conferences may have had sub-par seasons last year but usually they are better.

That is really true for last year.

Which is exactly the point I was making. :blink:

The Big East has the potential to be a strong conference also. With Rutgers, West Virginia, and Louisiville.

Sadly, it's hard for me to give much respect to the Big East with teams like Cincinnati, South Florida, and especially... Uconn.. I'm not saying those teams aren't any good or won't be any good, just way too many schools with little or no tradition.

It will take me a bit longer to get used to it.

Although Syracuse has sucked lately, they used to be really good back when we played them in the late 90's.

The Big East has some quality programs, they just need to put it all together one year.

Yeah, the Big East, once the top 3 left, have to recreate their identity. Over time, they'll find one.

Pitt, as sucky as they are right now, have a decent history.

Teams that have been to a BCS Bowl.


ACC: Florida State, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Miami, Wake Forest

Big 10: Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Purdue, Illinois, Iowa, Penn State

Big 12: Texas A&M, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas State

Big East: Syracuse, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Louisville

PAC-10: USC, UCLA, Washington State, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State

SEC: Florida, LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn








1) Big 10 - 7 Teams
2t) SEC - 6 Teams
2t) Big12 - 6 Teams
2t) PAC10 - 6 Teams
5) ACC - 5 Teams
6) Big East - 4 Teams


*Note, ACC gets credit for Miami in 2001, while they were in the BE*


I was just doing some research and got all this info.

It kind of surprised me that the Big10 has had more teams get to a BCS Bowl than us.

Although, Tennessee, LSU, Florida and Georgia have played in atleast two BCS Bowls.
