PAC12 on life-support already?

The News of the PAC12′s demise was GREATLY detailed, here:
Thanks for playing, Pac-12. We’ll see you next year.
The Pac-12’s signature team can not lose to the SEC on the biggest stage in the opening game of the year.
In 2011, with the SEC owning the world, Oregon’s performance and the loss to LSU signaled the end of the Pac-12 season when it comes to anything more than watching highlights of Andrew Luck. Oregon gave the fans of the other BCS leagues a reason to tune-out the Pac-12, and
they’ll be more than happy to do so.It’s not fair, and it’s not right, but if a league’s top team doesn’t win its big game against the SEC, the league simply doesn’t matter anymore on a national scale. Feel free to disagree, and
then be sure to take note of what percentage of time and energy is spent over the next three months discussing Boise State.Oh sure, Stanford will be strong behind The Architect, who might be the signature player of the 2011 season, but find anyone outside of Palo Alto who believes this is a team that
can run the table.Arizona State is loaded with veterans, Arizona played well in its opener, and California was terrific against Fresno State, but it doesn’t matter. Oregon lost to LSU, and that’s it.
Stanford or Oregon will most likely play in the Rose Bowl, and both teams are good enough to beat anyone the Big Ten flies in, but going to Pasadena isn’t the same as going to
New Orleans with everything on the line.The Ducks will be outstanding throughout the rest of the season, but with losses in the last four really, really big games – Boise State in the 2009 opener, the 2010 Rose Bowl against
Ohio State, the 2011 BCS Championship to Auburn, and the 2011 opener against LSU
– there’s little to no chance of selling the college football world on giving them a shot at the national title this year.With the loss on Saturday night, combined with UCLA’s toe-stubbing performance against Houston, USC’s struggle at home against Minnesota, Washington’s close call against Eastern Washington, Oregon State’s embarrassment against Sacramento State, and Colorado’s loss at Hawaii, the conference took a major PR hit that won’t turn around.
There’s no such thing as an East Coast bias; there’s just a regional ignorance.
That about sums it up!…Thanks CollegeFootballnews.com guys!…PAC12′ers will cry foul, or,..maybe just cry!?…but, they had a chance to prove themselves, just failed!….again!
