I think if BSU played in the Pac, they'd be in the top 1/3 of the conference........at least for the past few years. Like I said, they play solid football, and they have a great coach.

But if you think they'd own the Pac-10 the way they own their own conference, then you're kidding yourself. If you come into a Pac-10 game without being ready, chances are you're going to get beat. A few years ago BSU played UW, and they came into the game without their heads screwed on straight.......it wasn't a bowl game, UW was a pretty lousy team, so BSU was looking past them..........and they lost. That's the kind of sh!t that happens to a team when they have to play great every week.

It's damn hard for a college team to keep their heads screwed on straight for 12 straight games. Doing it in a major conference is harder, IMO.........that's why it doesn't happen all that often.
