This season, there won't be a Pac 10, there's now a Pac 12.
Perhaps this does not matter; there was a Pac 8; one day there will be a Pac 16.
But in my college football life, there's only been 10; the first college football season of my memory was '78, the first year of the Pac 10 - and to me, the Pac 8 was black and white.
So, from '78-2010; here are the Top 10 Teams in the history of the Pac 10 as ranked by pythagorean record and strength of schedule.
