Thoughts Toward A Better America
PAC 10
When Boise State defeated Oregon at the beginning of the sea son, many assumed they had played their hardest game and would have a good chance at staying undefeated. I’ve listened to several analysts state their belief that the broncos deserve a BCS spot and if they are one of two undeated teams, they should play in the championship game. Critics point to the harder schedules SEC and Big 12 teams have to play and use that to support their belief that Boise State should not be granted such an opportunity. Allow me to propose a way where Boise State could prove they do indeed belong in a BCS title game should they finish the year undefeated, and college football would be even more competitive.
Boise State needs to be in a more competitive football conference. Their current conference (WAC) is made up of teams that do not have a reputation of being football powerhouses. Boise State needs to realize that because of this, they will never be respected on a national level. If they joined the PAC 10, however, they would garnish that national respect because their competition would match their ability. In order to do this, there would have to be another team added in order to give the conference the 12 teams neccessary in order to break the conference into two 6-team divisions. BYU is a team currently in the Mountain West Conference that has other teams of its own ability, but could gain a great deal by joining this conference (it also makes geographical sense.)
The next question is: how would this proposal work? If I were the PAC 10 commissioner, I would have a north and a south division. In the north, I would have Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, California, and Boise State. In the south, I would have Stanford, UCLA, Arizona State, Arizona, USC, and BYU. Furthermore, rivalry games between north and south teams would easily be formed. The most interesting rivalry game would be USC/California but the teams are stated in order so they match up to their proposed rivals.
Is this a good idea for the PAC- 10? Um, let me think: well if they would be interested in making more money from television and increased national exposure it would. If the conference wants to step up and make such a move, its teams would enter themselves into national title contenders, because they would play a chamionship game much like the ACC, SEC, Big 12, and others. I know the Mountain West and WAC wouldn’t like it, but it would be something beneficial for college football.
I am a published author and motivational speaker living in Charleston, South Carolina. When I was in high school I was involved in a tragic accident in which I lost a dear friend and began my journey through a long and painful recovery. Today I mentor other people faced with similar circumstances and I help them see that not all is lost and that the beauty of the human spirit can carry the day. I am opening up new horizons in my professional career and I will be available soon for public speaking engagements to show people first hand that they do have the power to face what life has dealt them with pride and perseverance.
