stipulates that the agreement will begin in 2014, which in no way reflects on the SEC's dominance over the past decade, thereby destroying your flawed reasoning. The SEC is now in a position to make such agreements due to its enormous success (7 of the last 8 national championships and 8 of the last 10).
Face it, fan boy, the SEC brand -- built upon past successes -- is the most envied in all of college football. That brand gives the SEC the power and influence to enter into such lucrative agreements.
And since when does the Big 12, Big 10 and ACC constitute “easy” bowl games. The last time I checked the reigning national champion hailed from the ACC and is ideally situated (more than any other school) to reach the championship game again. Michigan State finished third in the nation last year after traveling across country to beat Stanford in the Rose Bowl. And of course Oklahoma finished the final season poll rated higher than any Pac-12 team. So as you can see, all three conferences that you disparage finished the 2013 season ranked ahead of any Pac-12 team. This suggests more flawed thinking on your part. It's time for the Pac-12 to put up or shut up. ~:)
Speaking of the Rose Bowl, no one ever mentions the fact that the Pac-12 enjoyed an enormous advantage over the years (think 1960s/70s/80s) having a bowl game, that often decided who would finish number one, played in its own backyard.
...cliches abound.

The SEC is the first conference to place 4 teams in the Top 5. That high pitched noise you hear is the whining of our Pac-12 fan boys: "Not fair! Not fair!" ~:)
to other conference teams.
If you're artificially highly rated, you want to play lower teams. If you're artificially lowly rated, you want a chance to show you deserve better. SEC picks. Do even you not see how that is rife with potential abuse?
SEC shouldn't control bowl selection anymore than PAC should.
"If you're artificially highly rated,"
Explain to me and the others how it is that the SEC is "artificially highly rated."
Who at the AP is complicit in this ratings "scam" you keep whining about? Do you have any hard evidence or is this merely a creation of your infantile imagination? ~:)
contract. Our conference's teams, or the PAC Tweeners for that matter, have no say so in who or where they play. This is so very basic.

top conferences. Why exclude all its teams? Why run from them when you're selecting o-of-c teams? I give LSU props for playing the Ducks, but the rest just plain run. Chip Kelly challenged all of 'em to a home-and-home but they refused.
I like seeing those match ups, they're fantastic. I don't care if the Ducks lose hard games like AU and LSU, I just like to see 'em compete against top teams.
Even you must want that for your Tigers and other conference teams?
Who's responsible, do you think, since the SEC is the big dawg?
of the, ahem, second best conference. That (2nd best conf) is a highly debatable claim considering the PAC have ZERO BCS championship games wins, say it with me, ZERO, while the Big 12 and ACC both have 2 each.
PAC 10(and )12, 4 wins, LSU, 22. Them numbers are pretty, pretty, telling.

Unfortunately, since then, we've been playing short handed, 30 men short this year due to those sanctions.

"Unfortunately, since then, we've been playing short handed,"
And rightly so.
Snippet: Southern California has been stripped of its 2004 football national title by the Bowl Championship Series, the latest consequences of N.C.A.A. violations that had already cost Reggie Bush his Heisman Trophy and kept the Trojans from being eligible for bowl games for the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
Here's the secret Tin, only play the Big 10 or ACC or a Big 12. I can't find any Bowl tie ins with the Pac 12.
In years where the Sugar Bowl and the Orange Bowl do not host College Football Playoff semifinals, the SEC's top non-playoff teams will go to those games. The SEC does share the Orange Bowl tie-in with the Big Ten and Notre Dame, so that may not happen every time.
After those games, their lineup is as follows, with a fluid order for the bottom six bowls from year to year:
1. Capital One Bowl (vs. Big Ten/ACC)
2. through 7. Outback Bowl (vs. Big Ten), Gator Bowl (vs. ACC/Big Ten), Music City Bowl (vs. ACC/Big Ten), Liberty Bowl (vs. Big 12), Belk Bowl (vs. ACC), Texas Bowl (vs. Big 12)
-Rod
other reason could it possibly be?
The bowl match ups last season truly were pathetic. Pathetic.
Stop whining fan boy. ~:)
but a PAC Whatever fan would have to be on crystal meth to think their next highest rated teams, the Arizonas, would have a snowball's chance in Hell against our Missipissipis or even Auburn or Georgia. I'd bet even money a much improved LSU team would handle their asses.
