That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout Pac-10! A 7-0 weekend in non-conference games and five ranked teams. This conference is for real… until next Saturday anyway.

Possibly Perfect Pac-10 Picks – Week 2
Ah, Thursday. The college football week is finally back after…two whole days of nothing. UCLA, you ruined what would have been a perfect start to the year. Gone are my hopes of season-long perfection, but intact is my pursuit of weekly excellence. Posted spreads are from sportsbook.com at time of publishing. Colorado @ California Larry [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 1
It wasn’t a great weekend for the Pac-10, but it wasn’t debilitating either. The favorites won, the underdogs lost. It happens. There are plenty of games left for redemption. 1. Oregon Ducks. I once was on a basketball team that was up 46-1 at halftime. I used to think that was a beating. Then Saturday [...]
Introducing the Google Analytics Mailbag
I’ve always wanted to do a mailbag. They’re fun to read and I imagine highly entertaining to write. But alas, I’m more likely to get an email selling me Viagra than anything from an actual reader. Soooo, I’m using the next best thing. First Friday of every month (and perhaps every Friday), I’m picking out [...]
Pleasant Pac-10 Picks – Week 1
Hopefully, I don’t run out of alliteration for the weekly ”Pac-10 Picks” post this year. May have to consult a thesaurus. I’ve probably used “pleasant” before, but I’m lazy, okay? One thing I never run out of is correct picks. 55-20 a year ago is pretty dang good, right? Just in case it’s too easy, I’ve [...]
Rooting For Rivals? Some Do, Some Don’t (And Some Really Don’t)
Every year about this time, college football fans ask the question, “Is it okay to root for rival x and conference foe y? Or should I just hope for immediate death to their season?” It’s a dirty feeling knowing your subconscious might be saying “Go Huskies” or “Go Beavs” when they go up against a [...]
Pac-12 Zipper Alignment – No Problems, Just Opportunities
Sure, I’m at the end of a Maui honeymoon, but that wouldn’t stop me from spending significant time reading up on the subject of Pac-12 alignment strategies (WOTB says…divorce please!). When I saw this morning on Jon Wilner’s blog that the Pac-12 may be leaning toward a North-South split, I screamed “Nooooo!” Well, I wanted [...]
The Annual and Obligatory Pac-10 Prediction Post
I pretty much do this post every year for two reasons. (1) I don’t know what else to write when I first come back from 8 months off. (2) I like to look back and see how dumb (or occasionally brilliant) I was. For example, I have correctly picked the Ducks’ finish two years in [...]
Proud Pac-10 Picks
It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy a weekend of football knowing that no matter what happens, Oregon is in the Rose Bowl. Ain’t it sweet? Last Week: 4-0 Season: 54-19 Arizona @ USC After witnessing the Beavers valiant effort Thursday night, I’m carrying the “Beavers to the Holiday Bowl” flag. They deserve it. [...]
Pointless Pac-10 Picks
Almost forgot this week’s picks amidst a sickness that has taken hold and forced me into a semi-comatose state of being where all I can do is lay still and watch football. Well, that, and the only game left that matters is on Thursday, so what’s the point? And no mom, it’s not H1N1, so [...]
