Will the Pac-10 move away from the round-robin schedule?

That means more sat 11 am starts and thursday games

I’m completely understand your premise, and my heart wants to agree. Play the tougher schedule, play everyone, wave that flag. But, my brain says play the game to the best of your ability by the rules. I would hate to see easier Pac-10 schedules as a fan, but it would lead to more and bigger bowl games and more revenue. All the other power conferences do it successfully. It’s an easy way to game the system. As a fan I don’t support it, but as a businessman I can understand the rationale behind it.

I love the idea of a Monday night Pac-10 game. Half of the MNF games are stinkers.

Totally agree with your point Paragon. As much as I take pride in having a round robin format in the PAC-10 it all comes down to money again. Like all conference commissioner’s they don’t care about how noble the format is. College football is a business and like any business the barometer of success is revenue growth. It pisses me off seeing the BCS commissioners defending the integrity of America’s bowl tradition to Congress when what they’re really doing is fattening their pockets by selling it like a cheap whore to any corporate sponsor.

Second issue is getting the TV contracts like the “Ess Ehh Cee” has with CBS. Maybe the reason why the PAC-10 has a harder time getting national spotlight time is because the fan base (besides USC) just isn’t there to support the TV ratings on a national level.

But its fun to play every team every year and its something that really sets the Pac apart from the other conferences.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA vs Oregon State university this a revenge match and Pete Carroll and ex charger coach Mike Riley. The Trojans are looking to keep their undefeated record intact with their defensive secondary led by taylor Mays and linebacker Chris the hard hitting gallipo. Lets go to Nestor down on the field and get his perceptive etc etc

No way do I wanna see" -1 game, OOC patsy" take over my PAC 10. The PAC title would be held hostage to “strength of schedule” mechanism that would taint the crowned champion, I feel.

I would only agree to this new format if we include BYU and Utah in our conference. The PAC 12. That way, as a matter of NCAA bylaws, we’d be forced to break into say “North” and “South” divisions and then having a determined leader of division go into a one-off championship game for conference champ.

Only under the inclusion of two more new teams into our football conference would I allow for a 1 conference game. Otherwise, the format that exists now is the best for the PAC 10. All other haters of our conference shut the f_ck up when we point to their weak OOC schedules. Lately, as we’ve all pointed out to the trolls who come by CC THE PAC-10 OWNS the best (overall, team-by-team) out-of-conference schedule and team play over most all other conferences. The ACC plays some good OOC ball too, but the Big 12, Big tEleven, and SEC suck donkey balls in this regard.
