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. The spring tour of Oregon State opponents continues with Eastern Washington.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57085/lunch-links-a-peek-at-arizonas-new-digs Thu, 23 May 2013 14:30:23 EDT 57085 The beauty of the nine-game conference schedule -- at least from a fan’s perspective -- is that almost every week we’re going to see great football. But from a team perspective, that means every week is going to be a grind. And there are those multiple-game stretches that can be brutal. Teams that survive those stretches usually emerge atop the standings. Those who don’t are usually home in December doing some self-scouting. Here’s some of the brutal stretches for the Pac-12 North, which should stake its claim as one of the toughest divisions in all of college football in 2013.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57090/tough-stretches-pac-12-north Thu, 23 May 2013 13:00:05 EDT 57090 The beauty of the nine-game conference schedule -- at least from a fan's perspective -- is that almost every week we're going to see great football.

Teams that survive those stretches usually emerge atop the rankings. Those who don't are usually home in December doing some self-scouting. Here's some of the brutal stretches for the Pac-12 South -- which figures to be one of the craziest divisions in all of college football where a champ probably won't be decided until after Thanksgiving.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57068/tough-stretches-pac-12-south Thu, 23 May 2013 11:00:24 EDT 57068 The return of running back Tyler Gaffney provides a big boost to the Stanford backfield.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57052/video-one-good-thing-stanford Thu, 23 May 2013 09:00:33 EDT 57052 Oregon decided this week to release its formal notice of allegations from the NCAA concerning the Willie Lyles investigation, which it received Dec. 5. Yes, the school is notoriously tardy with releasing information to the media. The notice, released in response to public-records requests and first reported by The Register-Guard, follows reports that Oregon already met with the NCAA Committee on Infractions (COI) on April 20. Much of what is included mirrors what was in a summary disposition that Oregon submitted to the NCAA last October.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/57079/oregon-finally-releases-ncaa-notice Wed, 22 May 2013 20:37:08 EDT 57079
