You can't grow a rose in Oregon

If the national championship is at the Rose Bowl and a Pac-10 team and an SEC team are playing for it. Other than that, never again.

The PAC 10 knows what the SEC has done to the big 11! PAC 10 don't want that action!

It's going to be virturally impossible, after this year, due to the new Rose Bowl selection rule being implemented.

bowl tie-ins are such hogwash. same fricking bowls with the same matchups every year. so lame

The Pac-10 committee would never willingly choose a game vs. the SEC.

False. Let's see..has an SEC team played in the Rose Bowl? Yes.

Has a Pac X team ever played in the Sugar? No.

Have tiny arse little 2nd rate west coast teams played in the Sugar? Yes.

So the Sugar is fully comfortable allowing West Coast teams to play, as long as they aren't from the Pac X.

BTW, No the Sugar isn't "scared " of playing the PACX, just like the PACX isn't "scared" of the SEC. All this "he's scared, she's scared" crap is lame. Here's to a PAC/SEC bowl tie-in happening in the near future.

Alabama was the last team to go to the Rose Bowl from the SEC in 1946

I wouldn't call Utah last year a second rate team. Or an undefeated Hawai'i team undeserving (yea they were overrated).

The Pac-10 should get better for a bowl tie in in the future.

Here's to hoping. There would be some darn good matchups

The next time there is an SEC vs Big 10 title game, there's the possibility for it. The BCS made a new rule that the next time the Rose Bowl loses a team to the NCG, they MUST take an at-large team as one of its opponents.

If OSU were to go to the NCG this year instead of UT, then the Rose Bowl would get first pick of at-large teams since they lose their conference tie-in champion. They could take the loser of the SECCG before the Sugar Bowl gets their pick.

the PAC 10 would rather play other conferences they can compete with...

This is just stupid. Tennesse has lost to mediocre UCLA and also Cal recently. USC has scull fricked Auburn and Arky. LSU barely beats what is a bad Washington team.

The SEC is a better conference top to bottom. But to say they don't compete is just dumb. Arizona State lost at UGA on the last play of the game this year. That's the definition of "competing".
