The nice thing is that we can determine a true champ without a conference championship game and the need to go to 12 members (which I am against and won't happen).

The not nice thing is that we'll beat each other up even more in conference, as we don't have Miss. State, Baylor, Iowa State, etc. type teams to beat up on. Say what you want about the "Pac-1," but there's far more parity in the Pac-10 than any other conference - 8 teams have won or shared the Pac-10 title in the last decade (exceptions are Zona and Cal).

I'm so Goddamn glad it's college football season again.
