2012 - Stanford, Oregon
2011 - Stanford, Oregon, USC
2010 - Stanford, Oregon
2009 - Oregon
2008 - Oregon, USC

In the last 5 seasons only 3 teams have won 10+games playing in the Pac-10/12.

In the same time span the Big-12 has had 8 different teams with 10+ games.

In the same time span the Big-10 has had 8 different teams win 10+ games.

In the same time span the SEC has had 8 different teams win 10+ games.

I noticed all 3 teams had one thing in common.....they changed coaches/ coaches left.

There goes the "coaching stability" argument that Baird is the leader of.

Oregon and Stanford >>> The Field

I noticed you picked leagues that don't (didn't) play 9 conference games and thus had cupcake padded schedules. They also had more teams. The Pac-12 was a 10 team league most of that time while most of them were 12 team leagues most of that time. If you want to make things closer to even you'd look at Pac-12 teams that won 9 games and correct for a 6/5 ratio. That wouldn't be perfect but it would be much closer to fair.

So you would add

2012: Oregon State, UCLA
2011:
2010:
2009: USC
2008: Oregon State, Cal

So now we're at 6 teams and correcting for size you get ~7 teams. So basically the Pac-12 is just like any other conference.

Nine conference games is a huge factor in this.

Don James never had to play 9 conference games.

I noticed Oregon and Stanford both hired Offensive Coordinators with no head coaching experience. I guess we can expect both to end up 7-6.

We don't have to expect seven win Steve to go 7-6 HTH

Sark only had 2 years of being an OC while Shaw had 4. In terms of overall experience Shaw had a lot more. The same can be said of Kelly who was an OC for far longer than Sark. Most important both of those guys inherited good programs.

A couple years ago the SEC had 9 bowl teams and only 2 or 3 had winning conference records.

If you go 3-0 out of conference and 4-5 in conference you are GUARANTEED a bowl. Ridiculous really. Sure, you can only count one FCS victory toward your minimum wins requirement but there are enough shitty ass FBS teams out there to make it easy to find FCS equivalents.
