If the Pac-10 and the other conferences that only have one champion had split their conference they would only have to play 4, or 5 important games(mandatory scheduling) then they could schedule another 3, or 4 patsies like the split conferences do and stay away from injury, and losses! Why did they agree to such a lopsided playing field?

5 Ways PACs Can Take Your Political Campaign to the Next Level
The Truth
If you’re even thinking about running for political office, you’ve probably already heard of political action committees (PACs). PACs are groups organized to support political candidates by making contributions to their campaigns. These PACs raise money from their membership for the specific purpose of getting people elected who agree with them on one or several specific issues. So, how do you get your share of the political money from PACs? Well, I’m going to give you five tips to ensure that you receive the maximum number of contributions from PACs in the shortest amount of time.
Complete every questionnaire. Once you announce your campaign, you will begin receiving questionnaires from PACs. Quickly identify PACs that are in line with your platform, complete their questionnaire, and mail it back. Time is of the essence because many PACs have deadlines for receipt of their questionnaire. Be sure to complete your own PAC research so as not to rely solely on receiving the surveys in the mail. You can find a complete list of PACs at my blog, http://www.spatterblog.com. If you discover a PAC that shares your platform but you have not received a survey from them, call and request the survey.
Don’t try to be everything to everybody. If you’re not pro-guns, don’t complete the questionnaire you receive from the National Rifle Association. You’re only wasting your time, or even worse, compromising your values. Don’t change who you are or what your campaign is about in order to get a fat check from a PAC. It will only hurt you later in your campaign when your opponent discovers you’ve flip-flopped on an important campaign issue.
Prepare for the interview. Most PACs will require an interview for campaigns where there is more than one candidate competing for the party nomination. Before the interview, you should be well versed on ALL policy positions of the PAC. You can usually find this information on the PAC website. The panel assembled by the PAC to interview you will usually ask you questions regarding recent and pending legislation, hot button issues, and your views on a variety of subjects. You’ll need to make certain that you are clear on position.
Publicize your endorsement. Once you receive your endorsement (and contribution) from a PAC, include the PAC logo on all your campaign material and add it to your website. It lets supporters of the PAC know that you have received the seal of approval.
Request the PAC send out a mailer on your behalf. Many PACs send out a periodic newsletter. If they include you as one of their endorsed candidates on their newsletter, it increases your profile. So ask the the PAC if they will include your candidate and contact information in their upcoming newsletter.

INCOMPETENT Pac-10 Officiating: UW @ OSU
The Truth
Just awful officiating throughout the entire game. This call defined the night however, as Bernard was OBVIOUSLY down by three things: 1a) Knee 1b) Thigh 1c) Hip 1d) Arm 1e) Entire right side of his body 2) The ball crossed the plane of the goal line. Once that happens the play IS DEAD! 3) The ground caused the fumble. The ground can’t cause a fumble. There is an official standing right there. What does he do? Just let the play go on. Swallowed his whistle on a blatant call. Huskies go the other way. Okay, so that’s why we have review right? It’s going to get overturned… I mean, how freaking obvious can a call get. The crowd is livid. Gotta review. Hmmm, all the players are lining up. Where is the review? They’re going to review it right? IS THE REVIEW GUY ASLEEP?!?!? Washington SNAPS it. There is now no review. Oregon State didn’t have any timeouts to instigate the review. WHERE IS THE REPLAY OFFICIAL!? Just an embarrassment for the Pac-10 in a long line of them. Almost cost the Beavers the game and a possible bowl berth. Ridiculous. Beaver D stopped the Huskies though. Ball don’t lie. Cheaters never prosper (unless its the whoregon/OU game). Real final score: Washington 23 Oregon State 36 -
