PAC 10 Football Almost Always Produces a Contender
As a fan of college football, whenever I think about the stronger football conferences in the country, the likes of the Big 12, the SEC and the Big 10 always come to mind. A conference that does not always get the respect it deserves, however, is the PAC 10 football conference, as it always seems to produce at least one program that can contend for a national championship.
It was only about five or six years ago that USC was considered to be the cream of the crop in the realm of college football. The University of Texas defeated them in the national championship game, but many have argued that the Trojans were actually the more talented team out of the two.
The PAC 10 Football conference has featured some pretty strong Oregon teams in recent years, and the University of California has been formidable as well. Stanford is another team that is usually in contention for a bowl game, and Arizona has been coming on in recent years.
I am not sure why some people don’t count the PAC 10 football conference among the elite in the country. I know that it used to be, and it does seem to emerge every few years as a conference with a number of strong programs.
I have wondered if it may because the PAC 10 is on the West coast, and does not always get the level of coverage that some of the other programs in the country get. It would be unfortunate if this were the case, as the PAC 10 football programs can really not do anything about this.
It could be that the PAC 10 football teams did not have a great bowl record recently, as in the 2009-2010 season, when only two of the seven schools that advanced to a bowl game actually won, USC and UCLA.
I do know that the PAC 10 football conference has produced two national champions in the last 10 years, with USC winning back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004 and reaching the championship game a third time in 2005.
I also know that the PAC 10 football conference receives a number of bowl bids every year, with many of the schools finishing the regular season with impressive records.
The PAC 10 football conference should be respected because it almost always produces a contender — a team that is ranked and can compete among the top 10 programs in the country. It has produced a number of talented NFL players, and it fields some of the more quality college football programs in the country.
