The PAC10 and Big 10 have the easiest paths to the BCS.  The only good team teat Penn State plays is OSU.  They win that game - and they are undefeated - versus a (most likely) 1 loss SEC team

This suprises me somewhat.  No objective observer is even talking about USC in the top spot.  They are starting a new QB, clearly a year ahead of what Carroll wanted.  They lost 8 of their defensive starters to the NFL, and they're supposed to be better this year?
 
While USC has good depth, they do have a few tough games this year.  There is simply no explanation to put them at #1.  I predict USC will lose at OSU, Cal and Oregon and will have a tough game against UCLA.

He always starts the year with a huge bias towards Big 10 and Pac 10.  But give him credit - this bias usually disappears by the end of the year.
