Here's the question of the year!
It's hard to say. Both conferences are good. You have to admit that.
It would be great if teams like Stanford would play Vandy or Washington St would play Ole Miss. The so called "bottom feeders" of both conferences would play. Then we could kinda compare the two conferences. But until then we can only speculate and continue to talk smack!
Isn't College Football great!!

Why is it the SEC fans get offended when compared to the PAC-10???? Why cant people just admit that a once weak conference is actually one of the best ones this year. Half of the PAC-10 conference is ranked in the top 25 (UCLA #25 in the USA today). Why do SEC fans thinks that a PAC-10 team would not survive in the SEC? How would you know? What are you psychic or something? People just assume by stats...LSU beat a weak team by 50 so it officially make them the best. As you can see USC killed their their opponents in their non-conference games, but against the PAC-10, they had a hard time, the reason to this is because the PAC-10 is tuff!!!

The Pac 10! The SEC is sooo overrated. You hear week after week how great the SEC is, how they're the only conference in the nation with any kind of speed, how hard it is to go through a season without a loss..... Whaaaah! I can see Urban Myer crying his way into the NC game once again. The truth is Cal crushed Tennessee, Auburn lost to South Florida, Florida State beats Alabama, and Vandy, Mississippi State, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas are mediocre teams. USC would dominate the entire SEC including LSU. Oregon, Cal, Arizona State, and even UCLA would be at the top of their divisions in the SEC.

SEC, I wonder how the Pac10 teams would do week in and week out in an SEC schedule? It's brutal. Any given week nearly every team has a shot.
I think the PAC10 has some great teams, but from top to bottom, it is not better than the SEC.

The SEC has at least 5 elite programs and the Pac 10 has one. I will tell you why the pac 10 just not that good. Every year we hear how much the Pac-10 is getting better and how they are better than "x" conference, but when it is all said and done the only elite team they have is USC. I will not try to argue that USC is not a great team year in and year out. But you can not measure the greatness of a conference by the ability of one team. The last time another pac-10 team had a significant championship contending year was when Oregon should have played Miami in 2001.
You can't even bring up the conferences record in bowl games to support the pac-10 argument. Every year they only get one team to the BCS when the there are usually 2 teams from the SEC and big 10 in the BCS. The second best team in the pac 10 gets to go to the holiday bowl and play the big 12's 4th best team (and still gets their *** handed to them) or there 3rd best team getting to play the big 12 5th ranked team in the sun bowl. and beating a Lloyd Carr "in big game" coached team in the rose bowl is not that very impressive. Cal is considered a great team this year because they have run up the score against teams that dont play defense, I dont think so. Their most impressive win was in a close win "at home" against the 7th or 8th best team in the SEC. UCLA's 11 returning starters on defense that shut down USC last year giving up 44 points to 0-2 Utah who scored a combined 19 points against Airforce and Oregon state. And they are supposed to be great. And didn't Oregon have big win last year against Oklahoma at home last year, go 7-2 in the pac 10 only to get killed in the las vegas bowl by BYU 38-8. It seems like a trend with them.
Until another team or 2 in the pac-10 steps up their program and competes with USC on a yearly basis, it will forever be a soft and overrated conference. It is USC and everybody else.

um i think it will be SEC indefinitely. funny how 9 out of 12 SEC teams were ranked at one point in time this year. the only reason why not so much is cuz we all have to play each other so someone has got to lose and go down in the rankings. no question SEC wins

Historically yes the SEC has been superior. The Pac-10 has had many good teams outside of USC. I know Washignton and UCLA have won at least one championship each.
This season it maybe the Pac-10 but it is still to early to tell.

SEC hands-down. They will sure have at least 4 ranked teams at the end of the season.
Pac-10: only will have USC and Cal at the end of the season. Oregon will drop out of it in a week or two.
