ESPN.com presents Pac-12 Ted Miller http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10 60 en-us Fri, 24 May 2013 20:38:45 webmaster@espn.go.com http://assets.espn.go.com/i/espn/teamlogos/lrg/trans/espn_dotcom_black.gif 110 110 Welcome to the mailbag. Can we get you something to drink? Follow the Pac-12 blog on Twitter. To the notes! John from Portland writes: Ted, you said in an article you recently wrote that Oregon's athletic department is "notoriously tardy with releasing information to the media." Are you an expert on legal proceedings? Are you qualified to comment on a school being "tardy" when it comes to releasing information to the media? Is Oregon obligated to release information on an NCAA-sanctioned investigation to the media within a certain time frame before the supposed delay can be dubbed "notorious?]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57129/opening-the-mailbag-notorious-oregon Fri, 24 May 2013 17:30:55 EDT 57129 On Wednesday, we provided you with our worst five Pac-12 BCS moments. Here's what we wrote (our polls can only included five choices, so if you think Oregon losing the Rose Bowl to Ohio State after the 2009 season, go with "other"). 1. Just one BCS national title, lots of frustration: No conference has more legitimate gripes with the BCS system than the Pac-12. Multiple seasons saw the conference have teams skipped over, most notably Oregon in 2001 and USC in 2003 and 2008.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57059/poll-pac-12s-worst-bcs-moment Fri, 24 May 2013 16:00:51 EDT 57059 Happy Friday. An ex-Arizona star is in a bit of trouble. Arizona State coach Todd Graham feels prepared for the Sun Devils' tough schedule. A California recruiting update. Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre's son is a top recruit who may end up a Buff. Oregon announces some future games with FCS schools. Yay. A post-spring Q&A on Oregon State. Andrew Luck is comfortable. UCLA OLB Anthony Barr leads a strong crew of Pac-12 linebackers.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57120/pac-12-lunch-links-macintyre-to-coach-son Fri, 24 May 2013 14:30:26 EDT 57120 All schedules are not created equal. Sometimes it's the luck of the draw and sometimes it's soft -- or hard -- nonconference scheduling. And sometimes there are less tangible factors, such as bye weeks and fan expectations. So who's got the toughest go this fall? Here are two takes. Kevin Gemmell: If you want to go by just the raw data, then California and Colorado share the "toughest" schedule based on the combined records of last year's opponents.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57111/take-2-toughest-2013-schedule Fri, 24 May 2013 13:00:50 EDT 57111 Erik McKinney and Phil Murphy recap Keller Chryst's performance at the San Francisco Elite 11 and break down the impact of Adoree' Jackson's track career on his football decision. And how would Cal recruiting success affect the Pac-12?]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57117/video-pac-12-official-visit-4 Fri, 24 May 2013 11:00:20 EDT 57117 The cornerback competition between Sean Martin and Steven Nelson adds depth to an experienced secondary.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57115/video-one-good-thing-oregon-state Fri, 24 May 2013 09:00:44 EDT 57115 On Wednesday, we provided you with our top five Pac-12 BCS moments. Here's what we wrote (our polls can only included five choices, so if you think Oregon and Stanford both winning BCS bowl games this past year qualifies, go with other): 1. USC drubs Oklahoma for the 2004 national title: The 55-19 victory over unbeaten Oklahoma was the most dominant display of the BCS era. It was also the pinnacle of the Trojans' dynasty under Pete Carroll. It's worth noting that future Pac-12 member Utah also whipped Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl to finish unbeaten that same year.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57029/poll-pac-12s-best-bcs-moment Thu, 23 May 2013 19:00:56 EDT 57029 Jesse Scroggins is a guy who should be able to provide some insight into USC's high-profile quarterback competition. After all, he practiced with Cody Kessler and Max Wittek for a year. He's witnessed their strengths and weaknesses and their makeup and leadership skills. So, what's his take? Does he like the scrappy Kessler or the big-armed Wittek? "I don't know and I don't care," Scroggins said. "I'll know when I see them on the field. I got NAU first.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57091/scroggins-gets-second-chance-with-arizona Thu, 23 May 2013 17:30:40 EDT 57091 Cary Chow and the college football bloggers look ahead and ask the question of what would happen if the season started tomorrow.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57099/video-college-football-conference-call-6 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:00:32 EDT 57099 I am never known to quail at the fury of a gale. And I'm never, never sick at sea. A video tour of Arizona's new facilities, which should be ready for move-in by July. Todd Graham is, not once, but twice as prepared to handle the schedule in 2013. The Bears picked up a running back commit. Rimington candidate Gus Handler is deserving, but still has work to do. How Oregon's running game sets up the pass.
