The Season is Underway..

And the Pac-10 is 2-0 baby! Good start to OSU's season, as they clobbered Eastern Washington and ASU blew out Northern Arizona after getting on track in the fourth quarter. Shockingly, Mike and I both picked those games correctly. But, tomorrow is when the fun really starts, as we get to play three SEC teams while Stanford and Oregon kick off conference play.

Some other notes:

-Chris Fowler talks about the SEC vs Pac-10 games this weekend an how the Pac-10 was the only conference brave enough to use the 12th game to play good teams. He also said that the other conferences would find a 12th game against a D1 opponent to be "too tough." Couldn't have said it better myself.

-SI.com has their power rankings of the top 25 teams up. The Pac-10 got four teams in: USC at #4, Cal at #8, Oregon at #18 and ASU at #23. Still waiting for someone other than the lone AP voter who put Arizona at 25 on his ballot to put another Pac-10 team in the top 25.

-The Tucson Citizen picks USC to win the Pac-10.

-In Pac-10 related news, Brynn Cameron's baby daddy sprained his shoulder last night.

-In Saints camp, Reggie Bush is a lock to make the 53 man roster, but two other Pac-10 alums are fighting to be the team's fifth wide receiver.
