Pac12 has 7-8 legit BCS teams, big10 has 3, SEC 4-5...

I hate the $EC as much as puppy corn syrup but c'mon. The PAC has two or maybe three. In reality the SEC has about the same but the espn-cbs cartel once again convincex everyone there are 6-9.

AP Preseason: 3) Oregon; 4) Stanford; 21) UCLA; 24) USC; 25) Oregon State. Preseason polls are highly political with regional biases favoring the hotbeads of collegiate football in the SEC, Big-12; ACC; and Big Ten. No Pac-12 schools ranked in the second ten and the bottom three of UCLA, USC, and Oregon State can be discounted as simply a very meager west coast bias.

The Pac-12 is more of a two-team conference than ever,...... which is what should be expected in any football association dominated by the likes of Oregon and Stanford. How many times does it have to be said that the Pac-12 (-10 or -8) can never be strong nationally until USC, UCLA, and UW are back on top of west coast collegiate football? That's just the nature of things.

or USC, UCLA and Oregon

When thinking about or discussing Pac-whatever football as a power conference, Oregon (or Stanford) simply doesn't fit with USC and UCLA. Outside of L.A., only UW qualifies and I'm not sorry to say that's the way it is and will always be. UW can stagger along for another Husky lifetime trying to find new ways to remain mediocre and Woodward can invent more Terraces for downsizing Husky Stadium capacity by another 4000 or seats, but the power structure of Pac football where it counts on the gridiron will never change. Until it's USC, UCLA, and UW dominating conference football again, nobody on the west coast need get excited about BCS playoffs.
