re: What former big time sporting events have become an afterthought?

the PAC 10 and big 10 have been slowly deteriorating the last 20 years

Uh, USC and Oregon and Stanford and before that Washington and Arizona State.

Since 1996 - The PAC-12 has had a team finish in the Top 5 of the final AP rankings EVERY YEAR (except for '99, '09 and '13.)

And in 2010 just recently the Pac-12 had TWO teams finish in the Top 5.
