Washington Huskies Shock Nebraska Cornhuskers

The Washington Huskies defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 19-7 in the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl Thursday night. It was the Washington Huskies first Bowl victory since 2002. It was a great victory for the program and allowed quarterback Jake Locker to leave on a high note. The Washington Huskies finish the season 7-6, and it was just in 2008 that they finished 0-12. Congratulations to the Washington Huskies!

LaMichael James Will Return For Junior Season

Heisman Trophy finalist LaMichael James is coming back to the Oregon Ducks next season. James, a sophomore running back, was the nation's leading rusher this season for the undefeated Oregon Ducks. He has run for 1,682 yards this season, averaging 153 a game. His 22 touchdowns (21 on the ground plus one touchdown reception) are a school record. Welcome back LaMichael James!!

Oregon's Chip Kelly Wins Coach of the Year

Oregon's Chip Kelly has been announced the AP Coach of the Year. In just his second season leading Oregon, Kelly is taking the second-ranked Ducks to the Jan. 10 national championship game against No. 1 Auburn. As short as 3 years ago, he was coaching at New Hampshire. Now he finds himself 1 win away from a National Title. Congratulations Chip Kelly!

Andrew Luck Finishes 2nd, LaMichael James Finishes 3rd in Heisman Trophy Voting

Andrew Luck of Stanford and LaMichael James of Oregon finished 2nd and 3rd in the Heisman Trophy balloting. It was expected Cam Newton of Auburn would runaway with the award. He did just that, but it was cool to see two Pac-10 players finish 2nd and 3rd. Both players had tremendous seasons and are headed to BCS games. Both should have NFL potential and have the talent to make an impact for a team. Congrats to both players and good luck in your BCS games!

The Oregon Ducks Are Headed to the BCS National Championship

The Oregon Ducks are headed to the BCS National Championship against the Auburn Tigers in Glendale, Arizona on January 10, 2011. Both teams come in undefeated and are newcomers to the National Title Game. Auburn has 1 National Championship while Oregon is looking for it's first one. Both teams have high octane offenses that average over 40 points per game. They have played the best football this season and both equally deserve to be in the title game.
The matchup features two of the nation's best players in Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and Oregon running back LaMichael James. Gonna be a great game. Get your Oregon Ducks BCS National Game tickets with Ticket King!

#1 Oregon Ducks Make Point Against the Arizona Wildcats

The #1 Oregon Ducks took down a talented #24 Arizona Wildcats team. Arizona had a 19-14 lead going into half. However, a 20-3 third quarter broke open the game and Oregon cruised to a 48-29 victory. Oregon is now 11-0 and only have to defeat Oregon State next Saturday to get to the BCS National Championship. The Oregon Ducks made a statement against a quality team and are still in control of their destiny. They would likely face the Auburn Tigers in the BCS National Championship Game.

The Stanford Cardinal Rolls Along, Andrew Luck Continues to Shine

If not for a bad second half against the Oregon Ducks, the Stanford Cardinal may have been in discussion for the BCS National Championship. In fact, I bet they would be the 1st or 2nd ranked team in the country right up there with the Auburn Tigers. They are now 10-1 on the season and 7-1 in the Pac-10 after beating the Cal Golden Bears 48 to 14 on Saturday. Andrew Luck threw for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also ran 3 times for 72 yards. If not for Cam Newtown, Andrew Luck would be the front runner for the Heisman Trophy possibly. He still should be attending the ceremony. If Oregon falters against Arizona or Oregon State, then Stanford could be sneaking in as Pac-10 Champs.

Week 12 Scores from the Pac-10

Here are the Week 12 scores from the Pac-10. Oregon State trouncing USC was a surprise to me. Stanford continues to dominate.

Washington Huskies 24, UCLA Bruins 7

#6 Stanford Cardinal 48, Cal Golden Bears 14

Oregon State Beavers 36, USC Trojans 7

Pac-10 Player of the Week

Nick Foles, Arizona Quarterback

Although the Arizona Wildcats were defeated by the USC Trojans on Saturday, you could hardly blame it on quarterback Nick Foles. Nick Foles was 32 of 48 for 353 yards and 3 touchdowns. He nearly overcame a 21-7 deficit to the USC Trojans but came up 3 points short. Nick Foles played a great game and should be proud of his efforts.

Pac-10 Player of the Week

Andrew Luck, quarterback Stanford

23/32 for 293 yards and 2 touchdowns. Efficient and effective quarterback dismantled #15 Arizona. Stanford continues to impress, and if it wasn't for a bad half against Oregon, they would be in discussion for the BCS National Championship. Andrew Luck continues to roll.

Pac-10 Heisman Trophy Watch

The Pac-10 has a number of talented players. As of right now, the Pac-10 has 2 players within striking distance of the Heisman Trophy. As always, the player must be on a contending team or at least a team that has been in the mix for a BCS game. Currently, LaMichael James from Oregon and Andrew Luck are 3rd and 4th in the ESPN Heisman Trophy watch. They trail Cameron Newton of Auburn and Kellen Moore of Boise State. The rankings change on a week to week basis but if Oregon and Stanford can stay in the BCS mix and keep delivering, both will have a chance at the end of the season.

There's a First: Oregon Ducks #1 in AP Poll

For the first time in school history, Oregon is #1 in the country for college football. The Oregon Ducks are sitting at 6-0 and were voted just ahead of Boise State in the AP Poll. In the BCS, the computers currently have Oklahoma #1 and Oregon #2. I don't think a lot of people expected the Oregon Ducks to be #1 after quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was dismissed from the team in the offseason. Oregon's remaining games include UCLA, USC, Washington, Cal, Arizona, and Oregon State. Not an easy schedule.

Pac-10 Offensive Leaders

The Pac-10 has been full of some big plays by some talented players this season. Here are the Pac-10 offensive leaders:

Quarterback Rating: Andrew Luck, Stanford - 166.9

Rushing Yards: LaMichael James, Oregon - 848

Receiving Yards: Juron Criner, Arizona - 531

Passing Yards: Steven Threet, Arizona State - 1719

Touchdowns: Shane Vereen, Cal and LaMichael James, Oregon - 10

Pac-10 Game of the Week

California @ USC

Pac-10 Meetings Take Place

The Pac-10 atheltic directors held meetings the last two days in San Francisco, California. The AD's have the complex task of creating plans for revenue sharing, figuring out divisional alignment and a championship game. According to ESPN, "The football championship game appears to be a done deal, but the conference still needs to decide whether to use an NFL-based model where the higher-ranked team plays at home or to hold it at a neutral site like San Diego or Las Vegas."

Week Five Game of the Week

Here's my Week Five Game of the Week:

USC at #16 Stanford - Here's my reasoning:

A few years ago, Stanford upset the mighty USC at their own house on a last second touchdown. Stanford went into a frenzy. Don't think any of the USC faithful have forgot about that night. Stanford was something like a 40 point underdog. Now, this time, USC is the underdog.

Reggie Bush Gives Back Heisman Trophy

Former USC star running back Reggie Bush became the first player ever to return the Heisman Trophy this week. By forfeiting the trophy, Bush officially now has lost the coveted trophy and severely tarnished his reputation. He claimed he "wasn't admitting any wrongdoing" by returning the trophy. Apparently by returning the trophy doesn't imply he did something illegal. The Heisman Trust has already said that they will keep the 2005 trophy vacated and not give it to somebody else (Vince Young).

Will USC Stay At the Top?

Going into this year marks the first time other than USC that a team is favored to win the Pac-10 (Oregon). USC was placed on probation and scholarships were taken away. The program will not allowed to play in a bowl game for 2 seasons. It's a wide open conference this year that 5-6 teams could potentially win. After USC finishes it's probation, will they go back to their elite status as a program? Will USC suffer any long term consequences of their action? Pete Carroll built the program to new heights and left abruptly for the NFL (ironically...). Now it's up to Lane Kiffin to keep USC stable.

Jake Locker and Andrew Luck Heisman Hopefuls

Washington Huskies quarterback Jake Locker likely would have been a Top 10 NFL pick had he opted to go pro this year. However, he returned for his senior season and has his sights set on the Heisman Trophy. Fellow Pac-10 quarterback Andrew Luck of Stanford has been rising up on the NFL draft boards for next season and has those same goals for a Heisman Trophy. If either player were to win the coveted Heisman, there respected teams would have to be in contention for the BCS National Championship or at least a BSC Bowl bid. It will be interesting to see if either quarterback can capture the Heisman Trophy.

USC Players Scuffle

To say USC has had a rough offseason may not do it justice. To add to the sanctions earlier this year, it was reported two USC players had engaged in a fight that required sugery for one of the players. Fullback Stanley Havili and teammate T.J. Bryant reportedly got in a fight last week during the final players-only conditioning practices. After a shoving match, Stanley Havili struck T.J. Bryant in the face which required surgery to fix his broken left cheekbone. After a quick ban, both players are allowed back at practices. Lane Kiffin will have his work cut out for him to turn the program back to elite status.

Pac-10 Preseason Media Poll

Last week, the Pac-10 Preseason Media Poll was released. The poll was the projected Pac-10 standings in 2010. The number in the parentheses is the first place votes. Here were the results:

1) Oregon (15)

2) USC (12)

3) Oregon State (3)

4) Stanford (1)

5) Arizona (2)

6) Washington (1)

7) Cal

8) UCLA (1)

9) Arizona State

10) Washington State

For the first time since probably 2003, USC is not the clear cut preseason favorite to win the Pac-10. Oregon won the conference last season and there are 5-6 teams that have a legitimate shot to win it this year. Even ASU could sneak in and suprise some people. By the way, to get some good ASU college football tickets, check out the Arizona State Sundevils page. Should be a great season!

Pac-10 Coaches Meet in New York City

Last week, the Pac-10 Coaches and Commissioner Larry Scott met in New York City to promote the conference and try to raise the awareness of the conference. Located on the West Coast, the Pac-10 realizes it is easier to go under the radar since the TV markets feed off of the east coast and central time zones. Conferences like the Big 10, Big 12, SEC, and ACC tend to get a lot of the TV and media time. The Commissioner Larry Scott hopes for increased exposure to the conference and for more games on the TV schedule. The Pac-10 hopes the BCS will view the conference as competitive as the other major conferences in the nation.

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.

Oregon vs Oregon State

Since this blog is about home much I love the Pac 10 conference in general, (plus all teams in it) I feel guilty picking sides or favorite teams. I even feel guilty picking favorite team rivalries, but I must confess I LOVE the Oregon Ducks vs Oregon State Beavers rivalry.

Pac 10 Teams will be Changing

There has been so much news about the Pac 10 conference growing into a Pac 14 conference that I just had to write a quick blurb about it today.

It seems that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will be moving to the Pac 10 from the Big 12 Conference.

One source said Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe's last-minute plan to save the Big 12 conference has "zero" chance to succeed even though he is offering up a lucrative TV deal to the teams if they stay.

For the sake of my next blog project (listing the 2010 Pac 10 Football Schedules and key games), I will move forward with the conference in tact as is, but I will also keep you updated to any official conference changes.

Perhaps I should invest in a new domain name….Pac 14 Football Schedules, Pac 16 Football Schedules – oh dear.

Pac 10 Football Blog is Famous

I especially like the description they assigned to my Pac-10 blog: “A stripped-down blog with news, commentary, and links to other notable sources.”

Yep, that about sums it up….Originally, I wanted to make this blog all about the Pac 10 football schedules and key inter-conference match-ups and schedule difficulty etc. I sort of veered away from that, but I am going to try and re-steer my ship in that direction.

I will post the 2010 schedules of all the Pac 10 teams in the next few weeks and then talk about individual games that you shouldn’t miss and what games will make the biggest impact on the Pac 10 standings this year.

Keep checking back, this Pac 10 blog is starting to get good!

Jarvis Jones to Transfer

The USC Trojans have granted outside lineback Jarvis Jones the ability to transfer before the upcoming season. Jones had a spectacular freshmen year but was forced to miss five games because of a neck injury. He was a high school All American and is from Colombus, Georgia. Jones was not able to practice this spring because of the neck injury and the reasons for him wanting to transfer are undisclosed.

USC to Hear NCAA Committees Ruling on Them

On Friday, the NCAA committee will release its findings on the potential violations of the football and basketball programs at the University of Southern California. The NCAA committee is reviewing incidents about O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush. O.J. Mayo was allegedly given 1,000 dollars from former Head Coach Tim Floyd. Floyd resigned and the Trojans already self sanctioned by banning themselves from this years post season and negating the wins from the 2007-2008 season. The case of Reggie Bush is based around the idea that a sports marketing company allegedly bought the Bush family a home while Bush was playing at USC. If found guilty, Bush may lose his Heisman Trophy.

Milton Knox to Transfer

UCLA's back up running back has decided that he will not be attending UCLA next year and will be transfer elsewhere. The decision was hard for Knox, considering two of his family members suffer from diabetes and they both live in the Los Angeles area, but Knox is in a search for playing time and he isn't likely to find it at UCLA. Knox was unable to get consistent playing time as a freshmen behind John Franklin and Derrick Coleman.. With Gatorade player of the year Malcolm Jones joining the Bruins as a running back, there is really no room for Knox to get any playing time on this team, leading him to decide to transfer.
