Everything I've read this year says the Pac 10 is loaded and is at worst the second best conference in the country. In the past I think the Pac 10 hasn't gotten enough credit, but this time around we seem to be getting our due. Same deal with basketball - the Pac 10 got tons of love towards the second half of last year and is getting tons of love going into this season.

They also argue that west coast football has no tradition. Well duh, of course the east coast schools have a longer tradition, look at the history of the migration in this country.
Yet the Civil War (Oregon-Oregon State) is something like the fifth longest running rivalry game in the country - goes back to to the 1800's. That's plenty of tradition.
