Like I said before a 10-2 ark team was much better than this ark team was only a 3 pt favorite 4 yrs ago and lost to Osu. But you say this team is different even though they are 4-5 and Vegas would make them a 2.5 favorite over a 9-1 Osu team. Hard to believe this thinking yo have to admit
I'll play. First and foremost, I think I've been pretty clear that I think the PAC 12 is the second best conference in the country. But anyone that honestly thinks the PAC is close to the SEC has lost their mind. I had this conversation with a friend of mine in LA that's a huge UCLA fan. He goes to most games home and away, so he's pretty in tune with the league. This is how I laid it out to him. On a neutral field, if you take the Top 10 teams from each league and match them up 1v1, 2v2, etc, how many games does the PAC win, and how many would they be favored? I don't think they would be favored in a single game, and I think they would go, at very best 3-7, but probably 2-8. Here are the matchups based on current standings in each league. Which games does the PAC win?
Bama v Oregon. This would probably be the PAC's best shot at a win.
MSU v USC. MSU would run USC off the field. They would pound and pound them until their depth just gave in.
Ole Miss v UCLA. Again, I don't see how UCLA keeps this game close. Their OL would get absolutely annihilated by the Ole Miss defense.
UGA v AZ State. LOL. This game would be over at halftime.
Auburn v AZ. Again, LOL.
Mizzou v Utah. Probably the second best shot for a win.
Arky v Stanford. LOL. Another blowout. Stanford, while normally solid, is terrible this year.
LSU v Cal. Seriously?
FL v Wash. Muschamp may fuck this up enough for Peterson to beat him. The coaching mismatch here is absurd.
TAMU v Wash St. LOL. Two shitty coaches from TT matching up in a pillow fight.
Looking at these matchups, if the games are played on a neutral field, I think best case for the PAC is 3-7, but more likely 2-8. Im sure some of you West Coast folks will disagree, but this is how I see it.

1.Oregon. That turn up in the 4th Quarter against Utah sealed it for me. Their O-Line which let them down for a few weeks looks good now. No one can duplicate their offense, no one has MM and their freshman running back is legit. Yes, defense is a question, but ill explain why Bama is not ahead of them.
2. Bama. Their impressive wins have all been at home. Its clear on a neutral field they are not as Impressive. Sims seems to be much less composed away from home, defense travels.. But I wouldn't trust sims to outduel maroita if it came down to it, even if Simms has cooper.
3. FSU. I think if they played miss st they would win. Crunch time ill take Jameis over Dak all day. I just like that matchup, and since they haven't lost, they can't slide too much. Yeah they almost lost to shit teams. Wait till they are dogs, they will bring it.
4. Miss st - Great ability to get first downs, nasty front 7. but questionable play calling at times. Secondary isn't close to top in the conference.
5. Ohio St. I like this team, they rack up first downs, but also give up many first downs. Cupcake scedule, just think they will get bullied buy a team like Ole Miss/ Arkansas / Bama /LSU"smash mouth" football,
6. Georgia. Again, "impressive" win against Auburn in the publics eye..but I don't see them as a strong side on a neutral field. That was a horrible spot for Auburn!

AK i earlier gave you a breakdown of schedule strength, not sure why you are ignoring it.. you keep talking about oregon weak schedule, here is sagarin updated with yesterdays games..
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/
oregon 22nd tuffest schedule
tcu 38th
Baylor 55th
Mississippi State 32nd
how can keep repeating the same thing about an oregon weak schedule?
how can you
honestly.. i can be objective .... on a neutral field I think based on records osu would be favored but it would be a good game. Anyone with some common sense knew LSU was in trouble saturday coming off the big ole miss win then the OT loss with bama, it was a down spot for them and a huge spot for ark.. those spots happen just like ark/tt or osu with a freshman QB and a team made up of sopf/fresh coming off having to prepare for the navy option for a week then VT.. ark is improving I give them that, they have battled in sopts and shit the bed in many other spots.. he is wanting to pick and chose teams good/bad spots and use them to support his postion, but you cant do that, have to take the good with the bad..
these were my words "on a neutral field I think based on records osu would be favored but it would be a good game" read above, seriously are you this slow ? I know you troll the rx 24/7 but man, widen your life experiences somehow.. maybe if you were not on the internet 24/7 things would be better..
i said it would be a good game, based on records imo osu would be a slight fav.. not sure what else you want me to say.. this is ridiculous to say the least i am still wasting time on it because i could care a less .. my life will go on whether osu is 10-0 or 0-10.. sec sucks/sec is good. i really dont give a shit, so many more important things in life... this is just a good reminder to me why i post so little anymore.. sometimes this place is like a group of hs girls, everyone bitching and screaming about shit that does not matter.. rank your top 6, simple as that.. no one is right no one is wrong unless they are in alignment with the committee.. i am done wasted enough time on this already..
