    Sure USC did what most pundits thought what they what do—beat down Ohio State, but Saturday was not a banner day for the Pac 10 conference. In fact, maybe USC, if it wants to improve its’ power rating and strength of schedule, should consider moving to the Big West, which is 5-0 against the Pac 10 this season…
   Oregon escaped with a win in Big Ten country over Purdue, and Oregon State routed a terrible Hawaii team, but once again the conference will come under fire, and this time, it’s well deserved…
   Jeff Tedford and California traveled across the country to Maryland, which actually lost a game to Middle Tennessee State, and proceeded to begin a day of embarrassment for West Coast football. Tedford is the most over rated coach in college football. His reputation stems from beating USC, which would go on to win a share of the national championship, in 2003, in a triple overtime game. Yet, what people seem to forget in that game is that it was Matt Leinart’s first season as USC’s quarterback, and in the late stages of the game was played with his hands tied and USC, in a position to win, played for a field goal instead of a win and proceeded to get what they deserved. Since that triple overtime win, Tedford’s teams have consistently found a way NOT to win big games. As a testament to his not so greatness, Tedford’s record against the beleaguered Karl Dorrell was 2 wins and 3 losses. This is Karl Dorrell we’re talking about here, people!…
  Arizona, under the guidance of Mike Stoops and allegedly ready to break out—yet again—lost to New Mexico. New Mexico? The only good thing I can say about New Mexico is that Michael Cooper went there and they gave my niece a scholarship to play softball. But the 0-2 Lobos had enough to beat Arizona. I guess Bob Stoops was the main driving force at Oklahoma, because his brother, who can’t be blamed for losing to USC, can surely be blamed for losing to a school like New Mexico…
  Not to be outdone, Arizona State, preparing for their big “Win One For The Pac 10” showdown against SEC and national powerhouse Georgia, forgot to show up and lost AT HOME against, get this—UNLV. What, the Sun Devils didn’t have anyone to guard Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, or J.R. Rider? I didn’t know that UNLV even had a football team. If Arizona State can’t beat UNLV, can you imagine the horrendous beat down they are in for against Georgia? Dennis Erickson again didn’t have his team prepared, something that happens all too often. Don’t let your kids watch, it could get ugly. If Arizona State loses to a basketball school, they won’t get mercy from a big time SEC school whose coach, mark Richt, is nothing like Tennessee’s Phillip Fullmer…
  Speaking of basketball schools, good ole’ UCLA found out that its’ inspiring open game upset of Tennessee was maybe more of an example of an over rated and overconfident Tennessee team than a Bruin win. Slick Ricky Neuheisel loves to call his philosophy “relentless optimism.” After a totally pathetic 59-0 loss to BYU, where is that optimism? I mean, UCLA has come to expect getting whipped by a school with 3 initials, but BYU? On Saturday, the Bruins would have had a hard time getting a push with B-Y-E!!! After losing to BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl last season, Bruin linebacker Reggie Carter said that the Bruins were “ready to go into BYU and dominate!” Carter had 20 tackles, meaning the Cougars were running right past the Bruin defensive tackle duo of Brian Price and Brigham Harwell. Once again Bruin defensive guru DeWayne Walker showed that he’s great when facing pro style offenses, but throw a spread offense or anything out of the ordinary and he turns into Nick Alliotto or Bob Field, former UCLA defensive coordinators who came under fire for lack of performance. And there was Norm Chow, who found out that Kevin Craft ain’t exactly Phillip Rivers or Matt Leinart, hell, he isn’t even Matt Cassel! I don’t care how you scheme, what you do in the film room, if you don’t have the players, it doesn’t matter how good a coach you are. But you would think that UCLA could at least manage one score…
   Yup, maybe USC should seriously consider a move to the Mountain West. Then maybe the Pac 10 can bring in some school like Ohio State. Now there’s a school they can beat on…
