did you actually watch any games this year? if so you don't honestly believe that Oregon was a better team than Oklahoma State regardless of how the bowl game turned out do you?
who cares how they beat them? i saw the usc oregon state game and that was great. i saw utah demolish alabama and that was great.
the big 12 is a better conference than the sec this year (im emphasizing that) and probably is the best conference all year long, but as far as everyone saying the pac10 is weak is just plain wrong.
