well to be fair, most pundits believed that OSU and ASU sucked at the start of the season. You have 3 tiers in the Pac10; UCLA, WSU, ORE - ARI, USC, STAN, UW, Cal - ASU, OSU. The top tier is 11-0, the second tier is 13-3, the bottom tier is 1-3. Granted, most of the games have been against weak competition, but you can't say that the Pac10 has been "exposed".

Agree with CSC here... I don't think you can draw conclusions at all from the first couple weeks of the season anyways. USC in particular is really young, and with these mid-majors you sometimes simply run into a team on a hot shooting night or whatever.

It's not as if the other conferences haven't had their share of upsets as well, namely Kentucky, Michigan St and NC State.

I'm not worried about the Pac-10... I think they'll live up to expectations...

ps... intrigued by the UCLA-MSU game about to start... haven't seen UCLA play yet.
