Coming off an awful week 3, the Pathetic-9 once again lived up to being the most overrated conference in college football. See: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/57299-is-the-pac-10-the-most-overrated-conference-in-college-football
Last weekend the Pathetic-9 proved that they just cannot beat teams from the MWC, as they went 0-4 vs. BYU, New Mexico, UNLV and TCU.
Why is it now the Pathetic-9? Well, because USC is in a class of its own.
I believe it is now time for USC to join a new conference. Perhaps, they could form their own conference or join the Independents. Or maybe they should just rename the Pac-10 “USC and the Pathetic 9”
The strength of schedule in conference play for USC is becoming weaker and weaker. If USC was in the MWC or WAC, they would have a tougher SOS.
The Pac-10 also needs to start having a championship game so that the Trojans can get at least one more ranked game on their schedule, that is, if anyone in the Pathetic-9 is even ranked.
This weekend the Pathetic-9’s best team, No. 17 Oregon, lost at home to Boise State. So much for the Ducks being invincible at Autzen Stadium. It was over by halftime when Boise took a 24-6 lead. Boise then went up 37-13 by the end of the third quarter. Oregon did make a comeback attempt, but ultimately fell short 37-32.
The “USC and the Pathetic-9” conference will now have one ranked team, USC. None of the Pathetic-9 will be ranked, nor do they deserve to be ranked.
Arizona State was ranked, and lost to UNLV at home.
Cal was ranked, and lost at Maryland.
And Oregon was ranked, and lost to Boise State at home.
