Is the Pac 12 poised to rise from the dead? The answer may surprise you

I pointed out last week that UW woke the sleeping giant in Westwood and I was right as is so often the case. Chip will get that going and UCLA does out recruit most of the Pac 12 giving him plenty to work with.
USC might get it right after they fire Helton and get a good coach. Even with mediocre coaches they have the best talent in the west.
I like Herm at ASU but we'll have to see. Utah is going to be Utah. A tough out and they actually know how to win a bowl game.
The Big Four in the North could turn into a nationally interesting race every year. Shaw, Petersen, Leach and now Cristobal build programs. I hate to agree with Damon or Softy but that game Saturday did do the Pac some good as it looked like we actually play football out here and have fans that care. Thank you Autzen.
We all have to schedule and win a big non con game and then win bowl games because the Pac will continue to chew each other up as we are seeing so far in the Del Norte round robin. We need the RESPECT to get a one loss or maybe even a two loss team in sometimes. And win a natty for fucks sake.
Firing Larry Scott and getting all of our games on DirecTV will also help
Recruiting has to keep the 5 stars out west. - TV is important to this. I can watch ACC shit teams easier than UCLA v Cal
Nothing stays the same forever in college ball. Not a lot of great teams or great conference depth anywhere at the moment. The Pac could take a step forward.

Here is reality; maybe. The Pac-12 turning to shit was Chip Kelly and Oregon's fault. Chip started skull fucking everyone and instead of just working on getting better, everyone not named Stanford tried to become Oregon Lite and a lot of them still are.
If the Pac-12 is ever going to be nationally relevant again USC, Oregon, UW, and Stanford need to recruit, lift, and play power football.
UA, ASU, Utah, Cal, OS, Wazzu, CU, and UCLA are shit programs. Chip isn't bringing UCLA back to anything but an 8 win program. UCLA gets the wrong kind of kids.
Aaron Feld was asked by the Eugene media if athletes were just better in the south than out west and he said athletes are the same everywhere, but the south does a better job with their S&C programs getting players to a higher weight ceiling while keeping their athleticism.
CMSCH is 19-0 at home and like .500 on the road so he is basically Dirk Koetter. USC needs to do better.
Socha needs to be replaced. UW gets pushed around by everyone with a pulse.
Stanford needs to lower their athletic admission standards.
Oregon needs to keep Mario.
The Pac-12 needs to realign the conference. You can't have one division with one good program and five shit birds while the other has three good programs. With an unnecessary nine game conference schedule they're going to cannibalize 75% of their playoff hopes.
So in short, no. They won't be back. USC only hired incompetent ass hats as athletic directors, Stanford is smug, Peterman is too smart, and Mark Richt will be fired soon.
Please do. That was your D-line against an empty look.
The south has considerably more black people ergo considerably bigger pool of athletes to draw from.
Does S & C matter? Of course. It's a big fucking deal.
So is genetics.
Hilarious that a strength coach thinks the only differentiator is what he happens to do. Even funnier that you buy into it. Not surprising though.
And they used to be superior to UW until Don James changed that.
