Well, Addicted To Quack never got back to us regarding the Roundtable. If you are out there, ATQ, we are here to help whenever with that noble process.
So, instead we have CougCenter (remember those amazing 7 days?) with the Pac10 Power Poll. Those crazzy hatters over at CougCenter polled us SBN Pac10 sites (with one notable exception) to see what our rankings were for the Pac10 teams. For many, it was difficult. The difficulty in ranking the Pac10 teams was best phrased by CBKWit's ballot:
1) USC
2) Nobody
3) Nobody
4) Nobody
5) Cal/Oregon
6) who (arizona)
7) the (ASU)
8) fuck (Furd/OSU)
9) cares (UW)
10) UCLA/WSU
Ultimately, after all the points were tallied and the judges were recused, the final poll emerged:
1. USC - 70
2. Cal - 62
3. Oregon - 57
4. ASU - 44
5(t) Arizona - 41
5(t) OSU - 41
7. Stanford - 27
8. UCLA - 19
9. Washington - 14
10. WSU - 11
We're Number Two! We're Number Two! Inside the jump, find each blog's individual ballots.

After looking at all the ballots, a few trends emerge. The top 4 were almost universally USC, Cal, Oregon, ASU, in that order. Only Building The Dam and Conquest Chronicles seemed to diverge from that.
And, the bottom 6 were almost universally crazzy. Most had WSU at 10, but otherwise it's all over the map. The perception right now is a clear #1 with USC, then Cal/Oregon/ASU at 2-3-4 in some order. Arizona and OSU knocking on the door to get up to that 2nd tier. And then all the rest of the teams should be relegated Premier League style to Division 1-AA.
Of course, in Week 4 of a long and brutal season, this means nothing. But what is there to love about college football if not long and brutal discussions of meaningless nothings?
What is your Pac10 ranking?
