Pac 10 is 13-8 ATS vs the SEC.
Pac 10 is 11-10 SU vs the SEC.
Those stats are both from the last ten years. Either bet type would have proved tremendously profitable for Pac 10 backers, as a few of the SU results were outright upsets. SEC was often a double digit favorite. A rather even distribution of quality throughout. SEC backers would have you believe that the Pac 10's wins were all USC beating Vanderbilt, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it was generally average or below Pac 10 sides who seemed to be taking on above average SEC squads which is supported by the size of the spreads, but that is splitting hairs, the number can stand on their own.
I don't think this supports the idea that the Pac 10 is a better conference (which I do not believe), but I think it supports (what I have long believed) which is that the Pac 10 is under-rated while the SEC is over-rated.
LSU is the one team who seems to play the Pac 10 with consistency, which makes their performances particularly noteworthy.
I am so ready for the season to get here!!!

37-14 is very misleading final.
this will be a tough game with lsu pulling away.
Oregon leading at the half 14-9. T.O.'s killing them in the second half.
Lsu taking over the 4th qtr.
