OK, time to take a poll. Who is going to win the PAC-10? Everyone says USC will repeat, but will it happen? I'm hoping that I get a lot of varing responses from people all over the place to vote in this. Y'all know my vote. C'mon, whatcha say?

Hey Candlejack, I'll Be Leaving Oregon Next Thursday Night To Head For Berkley And The Game On Saturday. This Will Be My First Trip Down To See A Game. Wish You Guys Were Still Undefeated But Still Will Be Fun. Got Any Predictions On The Outcome?

Gee GDK, who do you think voted for Cal? I'll give you three guesses.

SMART ALEC!

USC is by far the best team in the PAC10. I don't even know that it is even close. Oregon and Cal are the next, but not in the same class as USC, IMO. ASU has a good offense and will outscore a few people, maybe, but they really are not that good and they will likely have a new coach next year. Other than that, the rest of the league is pretty mediocre. I think Arizona is on the rise, but they still have a ways to go. They played USC pretty tough for 3 quarters.

The talent level at USC is unmatched by any other program in the nation. Their early season games were likely the best shot anyone had at beating them, but now they have played a few games and we already see that Booty is going to be great and Emmanuel Moody will be the new 1st string tailback. This team could easily end up in the BCS title game again.

Unfortunately, you may be right. USC was looking ok during the game against WSU. They were in the game until the 4th quarter. You do have to admit, whoever wins between the Ducks and the Golden Bears will seriously challenge USC for the conference title and BCS Bowl bid.

USC was playing down to the level of WSU at that time. Usc wasn't looking all that sharp. The Trojans should have put down the WSU team early and coasted to the win like they should have, not struggle at times.

I want to thank everyone that voted and made comments on this thread. It turns out that both USC and Cal won the PAC-10 with identical 7-2 records in the conference, the nod given to USC for beating Cal in the head-to-head matchup. A great season overall for the Bears. Last stop this year, The Holiday Bowl vs. Texas A&M. GO BEARS!!!!!
