Kevin Sumlin has been on the job the same amount of time as Graham and has a 28-11 record entering this season at TAMU vs Todd's 28-12 record and the PAC plays one more conference game than the SEC each season as we all know...
While ASU will be facing Wash in its 10th game of the season the Aggies will be hosting W Carolina and yet the SEC says they are better than any other conference...I say prove it by playing 9 conference opponents each season and skip the late season cupcakes...
Of course, the SEC West, where TAMU resides, averages almost 90K fans for each of its home games while the PAC only averages a little over 57K for their home games...the SEC West also sold out 37 of 41 home games last season while the PAC South sold out nine home games and six of those were at Utah...
I'll also be watching Graham vs other 4th year PAC guys like Jim Mora who is 29-11 at UCLA and Rich Rod who is 26-14 at AU and Mike Leach who is 12-25 at Wazzu...all three PAC South coaches have won a South title but none have yet won a PAC championship...I'm thinking Leach better pick things up soon or he may end up on the hot seat...
I'll also be watching the Harbaugh Effect at Michigan closely to see how he does there...so far, the guy is walking on water and the Wolverines open the season at Utah in a couple of days...
Here are some PAC storylines that I'll be following...
Can AU win as many toss up games as last year when they won 5 of 6 toss up games according to Rich Rod..??
How much the Buffs defense will improve under new D coordinator Jim Leavitt..??
How Josh Rosen will do at QB for the Bruins..??
Whether the Trojans will live up to their star billing..??
Whether great special teams and Devontae Booker can propel the Utes to a South championship..??
Whether Vernon Adams can keep the Ducks on top..??
Whether Cal can make a bowl game this season..??
How new Beavers coach Gary Andersen will do at Oregon St..??
How the Wash Huskies will do in Chris Petersen's second season..??
Whether Mike Leach can really turn the Wazzu program around..??
In any event, it's great that football season is here again...
Championships or Bust...Go Devils!!!
