They'd be mid-to-upper Pac-10.

But that means a Sun Bowl or Holiday Bowl appearance most years......and that's about where you should land at 9-3.

IMO they should be happy with a BCS appearance every few years as an at-large team. That's more than they'd get as the Pac-10 #3, and that's about where they'd be in the Pac-10.

BSU does a tremendous job in game prep and execution. Obviously.....they're 12-0 and that's a hell of an accomplishement in any conference. I'd love to see them in the new Pac-12.........but that f'n blue turf has got to go.
