Dennis Dodd's Pre-Spring Top 10

um who did usc play in non conference? in fact their whole schedule sucks. idaho? nebraska was decent, but texas beat them too, washington state, washington, stanford, squeak by arizona, notre dame, oregon, arizona state, yea we kicked their *** too..... theres a few games in there, but not to be talking **** about the big XII. Especially when Texas spanked yalls *** a few years ago. Losing to Stanford at home? I would keep my mouth shut for at least a year.

Union, I don't know who "your" team is, but go on down to Lubbock and try some of that next year! You better be able to put up about 45 or you ain't goin to be in it. The West Texas Pirate will nail your *** if you ain't careful. Ask his last 2 bowl oppenents. One of which had him down 35-7 in the 3rd quarter.
 
You can expect all you want to. You just ain't going to get it. Hell you clowns expect it every year. Its just the years that you really get the cheating going that it happens except 2000 and I guess Big Red Imports were fully staffed that year.
 
Oh yeah, Union, your team wouldn't be Cal would it? Is that the one TT kicked the dog **** out of in the Holiday Bowl a couple of years ago? Yeah, that Pac 10 is a powerhouse! USC one a shared title with LSU and lost to Texas. What have any of the rest of them done?
 
As a Tech fan I find this funny. We absolutely mud holled the Cal Bears when they were #4 in the country. USC is the only school that would worry me because there would be a big difference in overall talent level. However, UT and OU also have big a big talent advantage over Tech but the games are usually pretty competitive with Tech beating OU at home two times in a row.

Anybody else... UCLA, Oregon State, ASU, Zona, Washington, Cal, Oregon - bring'em on because Tech would donkey punch them. None of those teams are physical enought to throw the Tech offense off and Tech's defense would be able to hold its own. Also, I think Tech has lost most of its recent bowl games with its latest loss being in the Cotton Bowl versus Bama and losing on a last play FG. Tech would do very well in the Pac 10.
 
Tech may not be great but Malegeno is right. They are a good team and no team in the pac 10 other than USC plays defense well enough to beat Tech. The pac 10 is not a good conference defensively and they can not keep up with Tech in the scoring department. The pac10 blows.
 
you Texas Tech fans are funny. name one thing your entire athletic program has ever accomplished?

I just looked it up, you won the 1993 women's basketball NC. that's it. your men's teams have never won a damn thing. It's amazing how the fans of a school with zero athletic tradition talk the most.

your football program is a joke, wow 65-37 with Mike Leach this decade. Sorry to break it to you but that isn't good, that flat out sucks IMO. Especially when you play the weakest non-conference schedule....as bad as the old Bill Snyder Kansas St OOC, worse than the SEC teams OOC.

2000 - New Mexico, Utah, St, North Texas, Louisiana Lafayette
2001 - New Mexico, North Texas, Stephen F. Austin
2002 - Ohio St, SMU, Mississippi, North Carolina St
2003 - SMU, New Mexico, North Carolina St, Mississippi
2004 - SMU, New Mexico, TCU
2005 - Florida International, Sam Houston St, Indiana St
2006 - SMU, UTEP, TCU, Southeastern Louisiana
2007 - SMU, UTEP, Rice, Northwestern St

That's just pathetic. It's no wonder you guys put up such gaudy offensive numbers. How impressive TT is able to average 8 wins a year playing that OOC. I bet you guys are real proud of that.

I am not saying Tech has the football tradition of USC, UT, Ohio State or OU, the money or the talent. Most Tech fans are pretty realistic about where Tech is in the overall pecking order of college football and agree that they are not one of the elites.

That said, Tech has improved pretty much every year under Mike Leach and is now a top 25 type team. Tech would murder most of the Pac 10 (excluding USC) and it would not even be close. Look at what they did versus the #4 Cal Bears who were whining about not being in the National Championship game. Mud holed!

Regarding Tech's non-conference schedule, Leach's philosophy is pretty clear. They will play any team as long as it is a home and home arrangement and not a one-time money game. There are not too many teams that want to play a home and home with Tech because the cost-benefit is not there and it is too big of a risk. So in addition to a tough Big 12 schedule, Tech has to play those teams who will do a home and home arrangment and so it is tough to find games.

Look at Tulsa, they did not want to go to Lubbock and so they exchange Tech for Arkansas because they thought they would have a better chance versus the hogs. Tech may not be an elite team but it has won I think 5 out of 6 bowl games versus the Pac 10, Big 10 and twice versus the ACC including a raping of Clemson. Pretty good for a team that sucks and that does not cheat like your USC trojans.
 
The Big XII has had a team in 5 of the 10 BCS championship games and won two of them. If you don't consider that to be "elite", then your definition of "elite" is wrong.
 
In BCS games,

The Big 12 is 6-8, 2 NC's

The Big East is 6-4, 1 NC

The Big 10 is 8-9, 1 NC

The Pac 10 is 8-4. 1 NC

The SEC is 11-4, 4 NC's

I think your definition of elite is wrong.

I think someone needs to go back to a USC board. The only thing you are going to get here is a constant argument. Unless thats your thing....then your more than welcome to take on the longhorn nation.

But yes, screw the Pac 10
 
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Washington State beat Texas in the previous Cotton Bowl? "

You're wrong. It was the Holiday Bowl. (Sorry, just couldn't leave that one alone)
 
We spend a lot of time debating the quality of conferences. My opinion is that the SEC is probably the best, but not by as much as SEC proponents think. It has the best fan support, and a talent base as good or better than any other conference.

I think the PAC-10 is probably better than most think. It has the worst fan support (except for USC) of the major conferences, but is full of exceptional athletes and coaches. Traditionally, it has been a breeding ground for NFL coaches (assistants as well as head coaches). I think the main handicap the PAC-10 has now (and it will be corrected over the next few years) is that it hasn't embraced the spread. I have to think Oregon made an impression last year, though, where only a knee injury to Dixon kept them out of a MNC game against tOSU.
