The Pac 10 is a one team conference. Who is the second best team? Oregon State? They lost to Boise State badly? Cal? They were demolished at UT. Oregon? They didn't look to hot down the stretch.
The Pac10 is a one team pony.
Do I hear an echo? This is precisely what people were saying about the Big 12 last year, but they fared better than ANY other conference in the bowls. I can't believe you are bringing up shit like Oregon State-Boise State early in the year and expect people to accept that as a legitimate argument. You are the VERY same guy who was arguing how the USC-Arkansas game should be thrown out because it was early and would be vastly different if they played now (a sentiment which I somewhat agree with by the way).
So, by your logic, Oregon State beat Hawaii at Hawaii, who narrowly lost to Boise State at Boise. So Oregon State would likely beat undefeated and #8 Boise State at this point in the season if I follow your logic. I guess, as long as we are using your highly credible ranking system, we should take a look at Georgia's 14-13 victory at home over an absolutely awful Colorado team, a team that would have beaten Georgia on that day if their rookie coach hadn't panicked and had managed the clock a little better late in the game. Remember, Georgia was favored by FOUR touchdowns. Remember also that this is the very same Georgia team that put the wood to Auburn at Auburn. Sure didn't make the SEC look very powerful at all. I watched very closely, just like I watched all of Florida's games.
