But Pac-10....the 'bias' claim... Based on what?
Check some BCS history...USC being no.1 in both human polls but not making the championship game, giving LSU a cheap claim at the championship. Oregon being jobbed out of the championship game by Nebraska, who got pounded by Colorado in the Big 12 championship and then by Miami in the NC. Cal being bullshitted out of a Rose Bowl because Mack Brown's a lobbying piece of shit. UDub not getting a sniff of consideration for the National Championship over FSU and Miami when Miami was all pissed they didn't get it because they beat FSU. Who beat Miami that year? UDub. There also could've been some complaints about Oregon not getting a BCS berth in 2005 despite being 11-1. This stems from not getting a high ranking early in the season, which would've been maintained and likely would've gotten them a BCS berth instead of having a couple of other teams ahead of them that had 2 losses like OSU and ND.
Combine that with the general disregard by east coast fans (Big 10, SEC) that somehow the Pac-10 isn't up to snuff with their conferences and you have your bias...along with the general preseason top 25 garbage the Pac-10 usually deals with.
