"You say the PAC 10 does not have any weak Sisters like the SEC."

No, that's not what I said.

In my #174 is said, "The PAC-10 doesn't have as many weak sisters as does the SEC."

I define a "weak sister" as 3 or fewer wins. The PAC-10 had 2 (Arizona and Washington); the SEC had 3 (Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Mississippi St).

Although you don't like the Sagarin computer rankings, they do provide a performance-based analysis of team strength. There, I would call a "weak sister" any team with a numeric rating under 70.0. SEC has 4 of those teams. PAC-10 has 2.

I would classify a strong team as one with a numeric rating of 80.0 or above. Sagarin has 4 teams in both the PAC-10 and SEC above 80.

The computer numbers are a joke. That is why the AP is leaving the BCS. A playoff system would end all debate. I am sorry, but when people think College football powerhouse conference. The PAC 10 does not come to mind. The PAC 10 is a weak conference. That is why guys like Ryan Leaf could never make it in the NFL. Over hyped PAC 10 joke.
