The conference championship games are a joke, played in half empty stadiums during examination time as supporters save money to travel to bowl games.

The two Arizona’s should be thrown out of the Pac. Their academic standards are dismal, they don’t fit into the geographic nature of the conference and, yes, their academic standards are dismal.

You must be joking. Utah, yes, BSU, no way. Laying down with the dog that is the BCS isn't the solution. A PLAYOFF SYSTEM is. Boise St. with Cal, Stanford, UCLA and USC, you must be joking.......at least I hope so.</p> I would be far more ebarrassed with Boise St. in the Pac 10!!! You must be joking. Utah, yes, BSU, no way.

We should never stoop down to Florida’s way of scheduling cupcake non-conference games.
