I admit that surprises me. With UCLA and USC down.....it's kind of left to
Oregon and Oregon State, and to some degree Cal, to carry the torch for the
league. I am surprised to hear they are #2 in teh power rankings. They must
be light years behind the SEC :) Stanford is good, and I REALLY like their
QB....but...meh. I did enjoy UCLA's smack down of NU, but I much preferred
KSU's handling of UCLA out in Cali.

My conference, the Big 12, is way down this year. Nebraska, while on the
upswing, is not the 7th best team in the country...and Texas is a fraud this
year. OU is solid but unspectacular...and everyone else is an also-ran.
