Under "Special Topics", click "PAC-10 adds Utah" and 4 questions will come up:



Which is stronger, PAC-12 or Big XII?

Which is better athletically, Utah or Boise State?

Does the new MWC deserve a BCS bid?

Which is better for the PAC-12, Colorado or Utah?

2 interesting things about these polls. First is the question about if any other schools will be switching or joining BCS conferences this summer. When you look at the map Utah answered NO but every single Big 12 state said YES.



The 2nd is on the question about who is the better athletic school Utah or Boise State. Every single PAC 10 state said Boise!! (With the exception of Oregon who is tied at 50/50) That sure brought a smile to my face!!

:evil: :evil: :lol: :lol:

i'd like to thank the majority of the 16 people from Alaska for voting for the MWC, and a majority of the 950 people internationally for voting for us.

Don't forget to go to More Polls and vote there too. BSU is a better team than Utah.

Just saw a rumor that the Big East is looking at Memphis and UCF to expand.

The poll is still there but we are now down 4 points. There is also a poll on the Big12 viability in 3 years. 71% think it won't be and there is over 116,000 votes and all 50 states agree.

Nope?: http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2010/06/17/big-east-dismisses-ucf-memphis-expansion-report/?ncid=txtlnkusspor00000002&xid=si_ncaaf


I thought this quote from the article was interesting: "Last week, CBSSports.com reported FedEx CEO Fred Smith had spoken to various conference officials and made it known that his Memphis-based company could provide up to $10 million annually if a BCS-affiliated league, such as the Big East, would invite Memphis."



I wonder what Fedex shareholders would think about 10 mill of the company's revenue being spent each year to support the BCS affiliation of the local college?

Interestingly, FedEx denied the report completely. Said they've made no such offer.
