Sushi and Football...that's what the PAC-10 does!

I will admit I stole these from Ted Miller at ESPN.com, but I thought these are facts that should be out there before all the talking heads and idiots bash the PAC-10 before the season starts. Check these out:

Quick facts from the Pac-10 before media day begins. Bet some of these surprise some folks:
  • The Pac-10 has a winning record vs. every BCS conference since 2000. Yes, even that one down yonder.
  • The Pac-10 is 9-2 in BCS bowls since 2000.
  • The Pac-10 has the highest all-time bowl game winning percentage of all FBS conferences.*

Moreover, as for this season, of the automatic qualifying BCS conferences:

  • The Pac-10 has the most teams -- six -- without any FCS (I-AA) opponents.
  • The Pac-10 plays the lowest percentage (13 percent) of nonconference games against FCS foes.
  • The Pac-10 plays the highest percentage of nonconference games (50 percent) games BCS opponents.

*Based on current conference membership.

I cant wait until the season starts and the PAC-10 doesn't get any respect again because people aren't smart enough to figure out that the SEC and Big 12 will have better overall records based off scheduling adn scheduling alone. The PAC-10 will get kicked in the balls for the umpteenth season in a row until the bowls come around and people realize that they play football on the West Coast.
