Is the Pac-10 the Most Overrated Conference In College Football?

What an embarrassing day for Pac-10 football.

 

It all started on Friday night when the worst team of the Pac-10, The Washington State Cougars, went into Texas to play the worst team in the Big-12, The Baylor Bears. 

 

WSU was supposed to challenge Baylor, but what happened, they got absolutely pummeled.  It was over at the end of the third quarter as Baylor took a 35-14 lead.

 

Now its not like the Cougars were expected to win, but to get beaten by 28 is a poor showing.

 

Pac-10 = 0-1

 

 

 

Things would only get worse on Saturday….

 

The first game of Saturday also occurred in Texas, between the Stanford Cardinal and TCU Horned Frogs (I love that name).  TCU is by no means a good team this year, well obviously Stanford isn’t either.

 

Stanford lost 31-14, although it was closer then the score suggest as TCU scored two TD in the final three minutes.

 

Pac-10 = 0-2

 

 

 

Now the real tragedy starts.

 

No. 23 Cal at Maryland…Maryland is a joke of a team and they had just lost 24-14 at Middle Tennessee State.  Yes, you heard that right, Middle Tennessee State, you know, the Blue Raiders.  I didn’t even know their team name until I looked it up when I saw that they beat the Terrapins.

 

Cal was favored by 14, and I’ll be the first to tell you I thought that should have been even higher.  Apparently not, as Cal fell flat on their face and lost 35-27.

 

The score makes the game seem closer than it was, as Cal was down 35-13 with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. 

 

Pac-10 = 0-3
