This conference offers little drama every year. Each season, it's USC running over everybody and then a bunch of subpar teams battling it out for second place. Look at last year--ASU looked pretty good in the regular season, finishing in second place, but they showed their true colors by getting trounced by a mediocre Texas team in the Holiday Bowl. Happens every year (Oregon losing to OU in the Holiday Bowl a few years back also comes to mind).
