College Football

By Ron Beasley

For the last seven years the University of Southern California has dominated the PAC10 college football league.

That domination came to an end in the extremly deep and competitive PAC10 this year.  In what has to be the thriller of the year Oregon Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli led the Oregon Ducks to a come from behind to overtime victory against Arizona.  Now Masoli is something else and is the player of the week.:

Masoli is the master of improvisation, time and again pulling plays out of thin air. Saturday night, he helped the Ducks make their greatest escape yet this season and kept them chugging toward a Rose Bowl showdown with Ohio State.

The Civil War game between Oregon and Oregon State is on December 3 and will be nationally televised for good reason.  While it's not the first time this game has determined who goes to the Rose Bowl it is the first time that the winner regardless of who wins goes to the Rose Bowl.

Sadly the high level of competitiveness in the Pac-10 will probably be overlooked by the national sports media. Perhaps another strong bowl season by the conference will help enhance its reputation.

Don't forget the Pacific Time Zone is so far away and who would really think those dirty hippies on the left coast could play football.
