Pac-10 Changing Name to Pac-12

When the two new members join the Pac-10 in 2011, the conference will be officially renamed the Pac-12. Joining the current 10 team conference is the University of Colorado and the University of Utah. The name new will also come with a new logo, a sleek looking shield with mountains and waves surrounding the number 12. Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott announced the move earlier this week and hopes the new conference can get more national respect in college football with the additions.

Tennesse Titans Upset with USC coach Lane Kiffin

Lane Kiffin is in the spotlight again for his behavior. This comes after his demise with the Oakland Raiders, his early exit from the Tennessee Volunteers after one season, his secondary violations at Tennessee, and now a feud with the Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fischer. Apparently the Titans coach is upset that Lane Kiffin hired Kennedy Pola as his offensive coordinator after he was the Titans running backs coach and had not given Jeff Fischer the customary courtesy phone call. Fischer stated he was "disappointed" by Lane Kiffin's approach. I'd be willing to bet this isn't the last time Lane Kiffin makes news.

Pac-10 Predictions

Here are my predictions for the Pac-10 projected standings:

1. Oregon - Return the potent running game, even if they made a QB change
2. USC - Still have Matt Barkley and some top recruits...even with the sanctions
3. Oregon State - Jacquizz Rodgers will be up for the Heisman
4. Cal - Kind of a suprise pick, but I still think they will suprise some people
5. Washington - 2 words: Jake Locker
6. Stanford - 2 words: Andrew Luck
7. Arizona - Still have QB Nick Foles, beat USC last year, and almost earned a spot in the Rose Bowl
8. UCLA - Rick Neuheisel will be on the hot seat
9. ASU - Step back this season
10. Washington State - Another down year.

USC will return Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy

USC announced they will have a new athletic director to replace Mike Garrett. The new director is Pat Haden, who will take over on August 3rd. Pat Haden is a former USC quarterback and color analyst on NBC for Notre Dame football. Mike Garrett wasn't the only thing shown the exit from USC. Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy will be returned and all displays honoring him on campus will be taken down. Reggie Bush still has his own copy of the trophy, but USC will formally hand theirs to the Heisman Trust. The Heisman Trust is now considering the issues on Reggie Bush and if he should still be considered the recipient of the prestigious award.

Washington Pac 10 Teams; 2010 Pac 10 Washington Team Schedules

Ah, the great state of Washington. Home to the Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars, both beloved Pac 10 teams. The Washington vs Washington match-up this year will be on December 4th at Washington State. The weather can be a little unpredictable, but fans always pack the Pullman Stadium regardless. The intra-state match-ups are always my favorite and if I had to pick a single game to attend on either of the Washington's schedules, the December 4th game would be it!

Here are the schedule for the two Washington Pac 10 teams:

UCLA Bruins Football

Perhaps my second least paid attention to Pac 10 football team is the next team on my list of 2010 Pac 10 football team schedules....UCLA Bruins. The coolest thing about the Bruins is that they get to play all of their home games at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. Now that's a football field! With over 90,000 seats and top notch turf. I hope 2nd year head coach Rick Neuheisel appreciates what he has!
