I don't think winning games 3-0 (Oregon State) are much to brag about. And, yes, Georgia was totally beatable. We were hoping it would be Ohio State doing the beating. @TW – The match-ups are such a big deal. I don’t think winning games 3-0 (Oregon State) are much to brag about.

With the exception of the Rose Bowl, the Pac 10 is lined up lower seeded teams from major conferences or mid-major conferences. I'm inclined to put the Big East in the latter category because I actually think the MWC's top three were better than the Big East's top three this year. I was disappointed in Michigan State's showing because I think UGA was very beatable this year. The Pac 10 definitely gets the benefit of good matchups.

I hate being right. Too many unfavorable matchups for the Big 10. The most surprising thing about the day was PSU's defense. I didn't expect them to win, but giving up 31 points by halftime? Sheesh.
