I'll continue to fade the Pac-10 this year it has worked well for us with the exception of Boston College against USC. Yesterday I backed a Pac-10 team and we nearly got burned. It was a pick six that got us the cover and we are very fortunate for that as UCLA won 30-21 over Temple. Arizona is one of the top PAC-10 teams, but they are going to face arguably the best defense they have faced all year long. I just can not go against Nebraska and what I saw from them when they shut down a wild Texas offense.
The best player in the nation will be on the side of the Huskers in Ndamukong Suh. He is athletic and aggressive to get to the passer and drop even in coverage. He had one of the more dominating performances you will ever see in a title game. The only reason I do not have this as a POD is because of Nebraska coming off the Big 12 title game in a loss. Usually teams slip up in the bowl games, but I'd expect that much more from a team that wins because of their offense. This is a defensive team and a proud one at that and they will be ready. This will be by far the best defense Nick Foles and Arizona will face all year. The next closest was Iowa out of the Big Ten and they lost 17-27. Here against a top defense that has to play in conference that features top offensive clubs like Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Missouri and more. This team is tested and will be ready for Arizona's balanced offense.
All you need to know about the PAC-10 is that UCLA and USC are the only two to win their bowl games. UCLA got lucky and USC faced a Boston College team that has no offense. Arizona might be one of the more balanced and best offensive teams in the Pac-10 but you may not know it on Wednesday night. It should be an excellent game and give all more of an opportunity to see the nation's best player Suh.
