Throw out USC and UCLA and Oregon's money. What Pac-10 team out there should be more competitive that isn't?

ESPN - Riley to start in Bears' season opener - College Football

A late surge in preseason practices earned California sophomore Kevin Riley the starting nod over senior Nate Longshore in the competition to be the Bears starting quarterback in the Aug. 30 season opener against Michigan State.
Cal coach Jeff Tedford made the announcement after Thursday's practice, and he added that Longshore would play against the Spartans.
Longshore missed most of spring practices, but his knowledge of the offense and consistency made him the early front-runner. Yet Riley caught fire of late, and his mobility in the pocket gives him a dimension that Longshore doesn't have.

ESPN - Washington State's Roof dismissed from team, being investigated - College Football

Washington State's Roof dismissed from team, being investigated
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Washington State defensive tackle Andy Roof was kicked out of school, four months after being arrested for allegedly head-butting a man at a party.
The Cougars also announced that senior offensive lineman Dan Rowlands has been forced to quit the team due to chronic shoulder pain.
Roof is being investigated for assault, stemming from a campus brawl, but has not been charged.

I was listening to the FAN on 1390 AM yesterday on the way home yesterday. The two commentators brought up an interesting point of view that I thought I would share. Now, I realize that this won't please my fellow Oregonian (OB), but here is what they shared.
From the last five years, Oregon and Oregon State have performed like this:
Oregon
Regular Season: 38-19
Bowl Games: 1-4
Overall Record: 39-23
Head-To-Head: 2-3
Oregon State
Regular Season: 37.21
Bowl Games: 4-1
Overall Season Record: 38-22
Head-To-Head: 3-2
The discussion arose, because of the full page add that Neuheisel put out in the newspaper in LA. The thought is that Oregon has a much better marketing/propaganda machine than Oregon State while the product is just about identical for the last five years. This went into further discussion, but I'll just leave this post with the basic premise. I thought it was rather interesting.

Come on, man. You know how long it takes for common sense to declare itself outside of Portland.
