Pac-10 Power Poll: Week 3

by Grady Clapp on Sep 18, 2008 5:11 PM PDT

We're back this week with 88% of SBN Pac-10 blogs participating! And a slightly different/better name for the rankings. Awesome work, everyone. I've included links with the individual votes after the jump. That way you can visit the other blogs to agree with them, or get angry at them.

And we promise we'll get this out earlier in future weeks...

So here we go. USC is awesome, Oregon is still good, and everyone else is atrocious. Especially a certain team from Eastern Washington. Someone help...

USC (7)

2-0

It could be worse... if Ohio State had scheduled lighter opponents, last week's matchup could have been the national championship game.

70
(E)

Oregon

3-0

The northwest championship is on the line as Boise State travels to Autzen this weekend. Am I right, Husky fans?

63
(E)

California

2-1

Inexcusable. I am outraged over the Bears' loss to Maryland, and I assure you it has nothing to do with our 66-3 meltdown to Cal.

52
(+1)

Arizona State

2-1

And the award for the most embarrassing loss in an embarrassing weekend for the conference goes to the Sun Devils. Their fans don't deserve Erickson's bad karma.

51
(-1)

Oregon State

1-2

Our big jumper of the weekend is OSU, who blew out the (Rainbow) Warriors of Hawai'i and jumps up four spots.

39
(+4)

Arizona

2-1

So much for scheduling three easy wins to start the season.

35
(E)

Stanford

1-2

The Cardinal can bounce back with a win this weekend over San Jose State

27
(E)

UCLA

1-1

You know the scene at the end of 'Fargo' with the wood chipper? That's pretty much what BYU did to the Bruins last weekend.

21
(-3)

Washington

0-3

With two teams at the bottom of the conference, we're officially Oregon's Canada.

20
(-1)

Washington State

0-3

Congratulations to Mildred Jones of Des Moines, IA, who turned 102 this weekend. She celebrated with an 11.8 yards per carry average against the Cougs.

Sparky is not impressed with Cal!

Yeah ...

I think the Sun Devils got a classic case of looking ahead in that game. I would not be surprised if they beat Georgia this weekend — Erickson teams have a knack for big games.

I hope to God ASU wins that game. Then either SEC nutjobs would have to admit that their teams don’t play well on the road (but whose do?) and aren’t TEH ROXORS or that “anything can happen” in college football. In which case Pac 10 nutjobs can then say “then last weekend was an aberration” by the same logic, and hopefully avoid being denounced by the media as a sucky conference.
