The Pac 10 is MUCH weaker then usual this year...
ASU - Suspect offensive line, Terrain gone, Carpenter in big games?
Oregon - Costa out, Dixon and Stewart gone...
UCLA - Tons of question marks...
Everyone else (including Cal), bleh.
With USC's defense and running game (McKnight and Johnson), and an easier-then-usual in-division schedule, there's really no reason this shouldn't be a one or zero loss team. Ohio State is the only obstacle, but that is @ USC, and we've seen what happens to OSU against bigtime opponents (see Gators, LSU)...
I'm thinking of making a big wager on this. If they beat OSU, you will never see a line anywhere close to +400 again.
