Colorado lost to Fresno early. They seem to excuse early losses by Florida teams every year. Problem is they have 2 defeats. Still think they're probably the best team around right now, but they won't get a chance to show it against Miami.
I think the PAC10 is overrated, but not as much as the Big10. The Big10 didn't fare well in inter-conference games, plus I am amazed that a conference with such outstanding institutions as Michigan and Northwestern has difficulty counting the number of teams in the league<g>.
The SEC is always tough, but I still give the nod to the Big12 this year. If you win a conference that contains Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Kansas State, and Colorado, that is an accomplishment. Of course, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa State haven't been competitive in ages, but the top of the Big12 is as good as anybody. Then I'd say SEC, PAC10, Big10(??), ACC, and Big East. I don't know much about WAC, MAC or any of those others. Actually, I don't know much about any but the Ivy and Patriot Leagues. In fact, I don't know much about the Patriot League either, since I didn't give Lehigh much of a chance against Hofstra. Come to think, I don't know much of anything, do I? |
