re: PAC-10 SOS's;

if the PAC-10 played weak OOC schedule then they would without a doubt have the worst schedules in the nation every year.
the PAC-10 has to go OOC to make a name for themselves b/c they can't make it inside the conference.
USC has everything to lose and nothign to gain by playing in the pac-10.
the rest of the teams have one shot of making noise and that's by beating USC, or they have to schedule a Oklahoma or LSU or Ohio State team to gain some attention.

you know what kind of teams go out and play other good teams OOC....... teams that need money become they can't make it playing shitty teams in their conference, or by playing home games with the stadium at 75% capacity.
