I figured I might as well post this here as well.

It is an often and well-known fact that the Pac-10 has disappointing bowl affiliations.  Instead of wallowing in this fact, I tried to outsmart the people who organize college football for a living by conceiving a better idea over my lunch break.  Sparked by the recent talk of realigning the Pac-10 bowl affiliations, I tried to envision a new bowl game between the match-up I most want to see, the Pac-10 and the SEC.

The recent high-profile SEC – Pac-10 OOC matchups has planted the seeds for a nice rivalry, and I believe the college football world would enjoy pitting the Pac-10 against the SEC.  Being in Pac-10 country, I know we would welcome the challenge, and since I frequently wandering through the SEC’s chat rooms I am confident that the SEC would welcome this match-up as well (though I might be confusing the desire to play USC for the desire to play the Pac-10).

As my lunch break progressed I realized that there are many reasons a Pac-10 – SEC matchup does not exist.  I eventually concluded my hope is impractical, simply and utterly unfeasible.  I’ve stated the reasons at the bottom of this post.  Nonetheless, I will continue and state the main idea and reasons that a Pac-10 – SEC Bowl might have worked.
