Some of you Eastern/Midwestern dwellers may deny "East Coast Bias". 2 words: WAKE UP. Although I should've posted many things about this long ago....I just experienced a definite "East Coast Bias" moment. I'm currently watching the USA FIBA league game vs. Uruguary (completely nothing else on) from yours truly, Las Vegas, NV. Since the US is up by over 30 (again), the commentators starting talking about college football starting this week. They then decided (deservedly so) the biggest game this week is Tennessee vs. Cal. "That game can be seen here on ESPN at 8 PM". 2 things here: 1. The commentators are currently in the Pacific time zone 2. The game itself will be played in the Pacific time zone. For those of you that aren't good at math, the game starts at 5 PM Pacific time on Saturday. Yes, the SEC is the best conference in college football, but the Pac-10 lacks serious respect. 6-1 against the Big 12 last year....and this year will be no different. If the clowns calling this game (or most of the rest of the country) could stay up and watch the games out here on the West Coast they would have a complete different perspective on the sports world. I'm done ranting about this topic....for tonight.

Why do you give the Pac-10 record against the Big 12? What was the Pac 10 record against the SEC? I agree with you that the PAC-10 lacks respect, but, lets compare them to the best, not the Big 12.

The Pac 10 went 1-3 in 06 against the SEC...but played all 4 games on the road.
Tennessee over Cal
Auburn over Wash St.
LSU over Arizona
The 1 Pac 10 win was USC blowing out a good Arkansas team. It's hard to compare the 2 conferences heads up b/c over the last 10 years, they have only played 13 times. (And last year's matchups were clearly tilted towards the SEC dominating). Tonight, who cares?! Football is back!
