I dropped by the 9 am USC-ASU game last Saturday. One of the commentators suggested that it would be good for the Pac-12 to get more appreciation in the rest of the country, by being on TV when most of the country is watching. In context, re was referring to rankings, playoffs, and Voldemort (oops ... that flashy trophy awarded to the best player at the end of the regular season).
Full disclosure: I root for Stanford, Oregon, and Notre Dame. I have degrees from all three. When they play each other I root for 1.) whichever has a chance for playoffs; or 2.) whichever is losing
