Pac-10 is 10-6 against the SEC from 1998 to 2008. They win.

And again, to begin the season a ranked SEC team gets curb stomped by an unranked Pac10 scrub. why can&#39;t the sec handle the pac? Who knows.

Tenn loses to Pac10 host Cal 45-31 to start off last season. Tonight 18th ranked Tenn gets beaten by unranked Pac10 host UCLA, 27-24. UCLA had their third string (NOTE: not kidding) quarterback in for the entire game- he threw 4 pics in the first half alone. Yet here we are.

The SEC won&#39;t ever catch up to the pac and even out that record, not in a million years.[/b]

i wouldn&#39;t say an OT loss is a curb stomping...but it was a very very good game, and I&#39;m damn glad UCLA won, give their defense some props, those guys are stout.

Hey, we&#39;ll see your conference in Miami this January.

That is, if you guys all buy tickets to the game before they sell out.

Lol @ you claiming tennessee is an SEC power. Tennessee has been a .500 team over the past 4 years. They were only a 7 point favorite against UCLA.

The Pac-10 is garbage.


PS - Your 10-6 argument is retarded. 10-6 is not even close to a big enough sample size or margin to consider it anything other than random.

0-10 with ONE team against a conference is a hell of a lot more decisive and statistically significant than 10-6 conference vs. conference. I know you kids arent retarded enough to actually think that 10-6 is anywhere near significant.

if you flip a coin 16 times, youll get it to land one way 10 times 23% of the time just due to random dumb luck. When you factor in the randomness of matchups and strong pac 10 teams playing weak SEC teams, etc, its no better than a coin toss which conference is better using this caveman method.

If you actually look at statistics, power ratings, and sagarin ratings, the SEC has clearly been the dominant conference over the past 10 years.

Youre the ass who keeps making quibs about paying players and cheating about every school not called ohio state.

Madcatter what the fuck are you smoking. Flipping a coin is not analagous to playing football.

I bet if you posted these 16 games, the point spreads, the results, and averaged it all out, it would be about like flipping a coin. The teams that were supposed to win, probably won, the ones that were supposed to lose, probably lost, and there may have been an upset or two each way. You clearly don&#39;t understand statistics, probability, or sports betting.

Results of bowl games by conference:

Games Won Lost Tied %
SEC 340 184 147 9 .554
Pac-10 188 98 88 2 .527
