It's gonna be a bad year for the ACC. The Big XII is a bit better, but after Ohio State mauling Texas, and Oklahoma and Nebraska both going on the road to play Oregon and USC, I'm not expecting great things from them either. The Big East comes down to West Virginia at Louisville. The rest is not any better than the MAC or MWC. The Pac-10 is USC, one big dwarf in Oregon, and 8 little dwarves. That leaves the Big 10 and SEC. The SEC is going to be bit less muddled after next week, but the schedule for all the serious contenders is murderous. Right now, you'd have to figure Ohio State-USC or Notre Dame, but let's wait and see what happens in the SEC.
Man can you imagine the hype if ND and USC go unbeaten into their game?
