East Coast Bias

Today ESPN.com posted an article about the Big 12 not having a conference championship game anymore... and also losing two teams. This should hurt the Big 12 tremendously, but with all the east coast bias in college football, those teams probably will be able to get by without any harm. I have heard talks about the Pac 12 championship game and the talks have sounded like people don't respect the west coast still. People have said that Oregon has to run the table to go the national title again. I disagree. I believe that if the Ducks lose to LSU early in the season it is alright. All that matters is to win the conference title game and have one loss or less. That's the whole purpose of the conference title game; to give the strength to a teams schedule. The Pac 10 round robin play, where everybody plays everybody, was a perfect conference set up. The Pac 10 though has to "modify" in order to have a chance at contending for a national title every year; thanks east coast bias. So what do they do? Well add two more teams and have a conference title game. What does the east coast think of that? The east coast still won't give credit to the west. I'm tired of all this bullcrap. No matter what the Pac 12 does, it will never be good enough. Let's just face it. If the Ducks would've won the title last year, SEC would have made some god dang excuse. I hope the top teams in the Pac 12 play the SEC top teams one year just to show that "hey we can play some football out here too." I think teams like Stanford, USC, and Oregon have shown that they can compete with any team on any day. Remember that undersized Oregon team that had the courage to play the big boy Auburn team? Yeah, Auburn was bigger, but if I remember correctly that was one hell of a game. So it just goes to prove that out here on the west...we can play too.
