SEC vs Pac 10 on ESPN (warning rambling rant)
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2977178&sportCat=ncf
Forde says the SEC is better than the Pac-10 because they are stronger in the middle and lower tears. Personally I think our non-conference record is going to be better than theirs but he welcome to that opinion.
Interestingly he explains their superiority is the result of people in the South having little else to care about. Furthermore, west coasters are too spoiled to be terribly interested football. That seems offensive to everyone, but hey football's a-comin' so those southern boys will soon forget about his remarks and the west coast people will get some new sandals and a micro brew and feel all better.
He backs up this thesis with the following comparison. After Cal lost a close game to USC some Cal fans were smiling and remarked how good the game was. Conversely, when Georgia lost a close one to Auburn the Georgia fans were so upset that they threw stuff at Auburn. 1st I agree Cal fans aren't the most hard core group, however, is that fact that they can appreciate a good game and practice restraint and good sportsmanship a reason to question Pac-10 football fandom?

I absolutely agree with Forde...
Honestly, the whole conference superiority thing is cyclical. Just this decade, there have been years where the SEC, Pac-10, Big 10, and Big 12 have all been the dominant conference
The only reason that the SEC fans have decided to pick on the Pac-10 the last few years is to try make up for their fear of USC.
