<p>Most of those schools have around 25,000 to 35,000 undergrads. With that many people, of course you are going to have some thugs. Because those state universities are a bit more competitive than others, generally the only way the thugs get accepted is through sports. That also puts the spotlight on them more.</p>
<p>P.S. Miami only has 10,000 undergrads.</p>

lol then again USC is in the very weak PAC-10 conference, which should make it easier for them to make it to a bowl game..

<p>Exactly, beyond USC, UCLA and maybe Oregon State or Cal, the PAC-10 is a football swamp.</p>
<p>Oh my god, OSU vs. Texas is gonna be off the hook.</p>

<p>Include Oregon and Arizona State. Top to bottom, the Pac-10 is the best conference in the nation. Otherwise, I'd say the SEC is the best.</p>
<p>p.s. Horns are gonna kick some buckeye buttocks.</p>
<p>Your right about the SEC. It is the best conference. :)</p>
<p>Strykur, you can rid Cal of your list. They are terrible and were definately OVERRATED! Tennessee ran all over them.</p>
<p>Hey shut up about Cal. They have QB problems, and they're gonna bounce back and contend for the Pac-10 crown.</p>
<p>Go OSU!!! Beat 'em, Bucs!</p>
<p>I root for OSU, Penn State, and Pitt. I have no college team (La Roche is so small, the only "football" we have is soccer). I also still attend my alma mater's football games (as do 80% of the alumni from the past 35 years--I've sat with guys who graduated my HS around 1980 and still go, and these are games other than homecoming).</p>
<p>College football has become too commercialized and I honestly think they're trying to make it too much like the NFL. High school football is more pure--no instant replay, no kickoffs sponsored by McDonald's or Sears, you get my drift.</p>
<p>I love college basketball, but that's probably because I have no NBA team in Pittsburgh (GO PITT! and my school too, but I've followed Pitt for a long time so I'll always root for them).</p>
<p>Longshore blows, but Tedford's gonna start him, but then we're playing Minnesota. We better win at home against Minnesota, or I'm going ballistic!</p>
<p>Ya same here Golden Bear. Ballistic!! haha yayahewhhe hahha.</p>

<p>I don't feel that you telling me to shut up is very nice. I'm quite entitled to my own opinion. </p>
<p>A problem with the QBs seems like the least of Cal's problems. Maybe they will fair fine in the Pac-10, but it was definately proved that they just couldn't handle the SEC magnitude and atmosphere. Sometimes the truth hurts, but that's the way it is.</p>
<p>Hey shut up.</p>
<p>Ohio State and USC :)</p>
<p>I dont know how yall are saying that the Pac 10 is the strongest football conference... it isnt even a power conference... put any good team from the pac 10 into the SEC and i can guarentee at least 2 losses a season, i would rank the pac 10 as the 5th best football conference behind the SEC, Big 10, ACC, and Big 12</p>
<p>gooooo BRUINS!!!!!</p>
<p>Go OSU!!! Beat 'em, Bucs!</p>

<p>If u read my earlier post, #45, u would have seen that I said I believe the SEC is the best conference in the nation. With the Pac-10 coming in 2nd. Yes the Big 10 is good, but the Pac has more firepower. The ACC?! LOL. Their 2 top teams, Florida State and Miami, combined for 3 (!!!) rushing yards, with FSU having 1, and Miami having 2. Thats pathetic. Obviously the Big 12 is good, because of Texas, but other than that, Okiehome is just above average, A&M and Texas Tech are average. The Big 12 North is pathetic. So ya, SEC is best followed by the Pac.</p>
<p>ACC had the best wide reciever and best tight end in the nation last year. You dont think Virginia Tech is good team? And Boston college is legit. </p>
<p>And the Big 12 is good because of Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, all big powerhouse football schools. I would say Colorado but after all that Gary Barnett bit...Adrian Peterson is the running back to be reckoned with, Nebraska has been a bit down but give them a few</p>
<p>And you totally left out the Big 10...Michigan, OSU, Penn State, and maybe even Wisconsin...all huge powerhouse schools...Michigan had a sub par year last year, OSU is the National contender...and now look at Penn State</p>
<p>The Pac-10 has USC, Oregon, and UCLA, Cal is alright, they had that one up season with Boller. Whens the last time Washington was a National contender? Maybe 1990. And I'm sorry, Elway doesn't play for Stanford anymore</p>
<p>It looks like we dont have contest over why the SEC is nice, but you cannot say the Pac-10 is the second best conference. Just taking into account powerhouse schools, Pac-10 may beat out ACC in that sense but def not Big 12 or Big 10 schools</p>
<p>Yes Virginia Tech is good but they're not as good as FSU or Miami, which both have pathetic running games. Yes Texas and Okiehoma are powerhouses but Nebraska isnt anymore, sure they beat Michigan in a bowl game last year, but they didnt even win the Big 12 North, which was won by Colorado, which got spanked 70-3 by Texas in the Big 12 Championship game. So the only real powers for now in the Big 12 are Texas and Okiehoma. Obviously OSU is very good, but Michigan really isnt that good the past couple of years. They lost to Nebraska last year then beat Vanderbilt last week with a very poor performance by the QB. And yes Penn State is also very good. But saying Wisconsin is a huge powerhouse? Thats going a little too far. I think u mean Cal had the one up season with Aaron Rodgers, when they went 10-2. Who said anything about Washington? They suck. So does Stanford. And about ur "powerhouse schools", all I need to say is a Pac-10 team won 2 out of the last 3 national championships.</p>
<p>Wisconsin ... 3 Rose Bowl victories in the past 15 years ... up there with USC and Texas. Only Big Ten School to win back to back Rose Bowls... it's no less of a powerhouse than PSU which has substancially less time in the Big Ten.</p>
<p>Camp Randall is notoriously one of the hardest places to play and Wisconsin has a storied football tradition.</p>
