RE: your second paragraph, the 64 is a postseason playoff, a fact you ignore entirely. The rest of your tome is blah blah blah, same thing, different post. You don't want to listen, and I am tired of listening to you blather on in a quest to whine your way into a USC championship.

You'll only get proven wrong when the playoffs arrive, so enjoy your whining and imagining now. I'm sure you'll always think USC was the best, but you're wrong, and you'll never be able to demonstrate otherwise to me--or to posterity, because 50 years from now, the BCS winner will still be considered the champion. Guess that sucks for you. Just like the playoffs, when they come, will suck for you and the PAC.

Regarding Pac-10 versus SEC conference strength, well, get your gyroscope ready, as you'll have to start spinning again. You refused to care that the Pac-10 has won 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings between the conferences. Well, how about this if the Pac-10 is such a 'wuss' conference:

In a study by the NFLPA of the top 36 college football programs producing NFL players from 1998-2002, EIGHT of the top 36 colleges were Pac-10 schools, and SIX were SEC schools. The Pac-10's EIGHT teams was the MOST of any conference in the top 36. Here are the numbers for you to attempt spinning:

Pac-10: # of players in the NFL, 1998-2002:

USC - 157 players, 73 starters
Washington - 154 players, 70 starters
Cal - 133 players, 59 starters
UCLA - 131 players, 58 starters
Arizona State - 129 players, 53 starters
Stanford - 94 players, 36 starters
Arizona - 93 players, 27 starters
Washington State - 82 players, 31 starters

SEC:

Tennessee - 181 players, 76 starters
Florida - 169 players, 73 starters
Georgia - 144 players, 81 starters
Auburn - 128 players, 55 starters
LSU - 126 players, 42 starters
Alabama - 66 players, 32 starters

Check the drop-off to Alabama, and God knows where the rest of this stud conference registers.

Also, the Big 10 has 7 teams in the top 36, the Big East has 6, the ACC and the Big 12 have four each, and Notre Dame is the one independent. So, AHEM, the Pac-10 had the MOST teams among the top 36 colleges in sending players to the NFL. That would be, THE MOST teams of any conference. As in, MOST. But of course, the NFL just loves to stock their team rosters with players from 'wuss' conferences. You should be paying me for this education. You can win a lot of bets at that Bayou Hooters with this stuff.
