Yikes is right.  It's crazy to play U$€ & UCLA every year when also scheduling the like of Ohio State, Texas, Auburn OOC.  Oregon missed U$€ the last two years, which is a of exceedingly large proportions advantage for them over Low APR U and Stanford in terms of winning the North.

Well, two years ago, Oregon missed U-S-C and Stanford won the North. Last year, Stanford had four conference losses, including to Oregon, so even if Oregon played U-S-C and lost and Stanford didn't play U-S-C and beat, say, Colorado, Oregon still would have won the North.

To follow up on what terry wrote, Stanford has defeated UCLA seven straight seasons, and the games with U-S-C have highly competitive, albeit excruciating. I, for one, will not bow to any program in SoCal.
