We'll see. I'm not denying that it's a long shot for Arizona to come out on top of the Pac-10 with Oregon, Stanford, USC, etc... but it sure feels good to have a signature win against an out of conference opponent (plenty of upset wins the past 5 years in conference). Last year's loss to Iowa and the absolute shellacking we took against Nebraska to end the year makes this win that much sweeter.

The Big 10 gets so much hype and every year they just aren't as good as the hype. Beyond OSU a very average batch of teams...though they tend to play very entertaining games even against supposedly weaker teams.
Amen. The most overrated and outdated conference around. They play power football to compete inner-conference and then once they play in bowl games (namely against Big 12 or SEC teams) the power football gets absolutely schooled by superior defenses.
