Actually, the Pac 10 is 13-8 against the SEC since 2000. But the problem with comparing the two conferences is that they hardly ever play each other. 21 games in a whole decade isn't much. And during that time period they never played a bowl game against each other. All the bowl tie-ins the SEC has are with other conferences and the only times that Pac 10 teams have been playing for a national championship it has been against the Big 12. LSU used to schedule games against the Pac 10 and Tennessee does though they've lost every match against Pac 10 teams recently so that might change. Georgia just pulled out of its home and home with Oregon. Alabama and Florida don't really play non-conference games outside the South. Florida doesn't even play non-conference games outside Florida. One big advantage that the top SEC teams have is that they are used to playing for the national championship. I could see a Pac 10 team making it to the NC game this year and I would favor an SEC team in that matchup because they expect to be there. If Alabama, Florida, LSU, etc aren't playing in the national title game they consider it an off year. Outside of USC for a couple years, the Pac 10 doesn't have that mentality. We produce some great 10-2 teams. They fight to get into the Rose Bowl and consider it a great season, which it is. But they don't really assume that they are supposed to be in the national title game and that's a big difference I think. > After the whoopin' NU put on my wildcats last night, I may be mistaken about > them. They might be for real. Didn't get to watch the game last night but reading up on the game it looks like Nebraska's QB tore up the turf. I was expecting the game to be closer but it sounds like the NU defense did a good job. They were pretty vicious against Washington, so I'm not surprised. Looks like NU might have a good run through the Big 12 now if OU doesn't pull themselves together.
