2 T h e C o n f e r e n c e o f C h a m p i o n s Entering the season, the Pacific-10 Conference continues to uphold its tradition as the Conference of Champions. Pac-10 members have claimed an incredible 138 NCAA team titles over the past 16 seasons, for an average of more than eight championships per academic year. Even more impressive is the breadth of the Pac- 10 s success, as those 138 team titles have come in 24 different men s and women s sports. The Pac-10 has led the nation in NCAA Championships 40 of the last 46 years and finished second five times. Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievement, the Pac-10 has captured 351 NCAA titles (251 men s, 100 women s), far outdistancing the runner-up Big Ten Conference s 205 titles. The Conference s reputation is further proven in the annual United States Sports Academy Directors Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. STANFORD continued its remarkable run in the season, winning its 12th consecutive Directors Cup. In the competition, seven of the Top-25 Division I programs were Pac-10 members: No. 1 STANFORD, No. 2 UCLA, No. 6 CALIFORNIA, No. 9 USC, No. 10 ARIZONA, No. 13 ARIZONA STATE and No. 17 WASHINGTON. The Pac-10 landed six programs in the Top-15, three more than the secondplace SEC (3). The Pac-10 captured nine NCAA titles in to lead the nation. It should be noted that the Pac-10 total does not include CALIFORNIA s national championship in rugby or men s crew, as they are not counted as NCAA titles. The Pac-10 led the nation with the most NCAA titles in women s sports with six. NCAA team champions from the Pac-10 in came from UCLA (men s volleyball and women s water polo), STANFORD (women s cross country and women s tennis), ARIZONA (softball), CALIFORNIA (women s rowing), USC (men s water polo), WASHINGTON (women s volleyball) and OREGON STATE (baseball). The Pac-10 also had runners-up in six NCAA Championship events: men s basketball (UCLA), women s soccer (UCLA), women s golf (USC), women s outdoor track and field (USC), men s swimming and diving (ARIZONA) and women s indoor track and field (STANFORD). The Trojans also competed in the BCS National Championship Game, but football is not recognized as an NCAA title. Overall, the Conference had 15 teams finish in the top three at NCAA Championship events. Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the Conference in Of the 22 sports sponsored by the Pac-10, 18 witnessed at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 56 of a possible 92 teams into the postseason (60.8 percent), while the women sent 61 of a possible 100 teams (61.0 percent). The Pac-10 experienced continued success in football as the league sent five teams to bowl games. USC claimed its fourth consecutive Pac-10 crown, capping its 12-1 season with a berth in the BCS National Championship game. Overall, the Pac-10 went 3-2 in postseason bowl games with ARIZONA STATE, CALIFORNIA, OREGON and UCLA also earning bowl appearances. USC tailback Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy, the third Trojan to win the award in four years. USC and OREGON found themselves ranked in the Top-15 in the nation at the conclusion of the season, finishing second and 12th, respectively (AP and USA Today). The Pac-10 also showed its worth on the basketball court, as it sent four teams into the NCAA Men s Basketball Championship. UCLA advanced to the national championship game, falling just short to Florida in the finals. The Bruins captured both the Pac-10 regular season championship and the Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament crown. On the women s side, six teams competed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Conference history. STANFORD reached the Elite Eight for the third straight year, while UCLA picked up its firstever State Farm Pac-10 Tournament Trophy. The Conference continued its dominance in softball as seven teams earned trips to NCAA regional play, the most out of any conference in the nation. ARIZONA claimed its seventh national title with a two-game sweep of Northwestern in the championship series. It marked the 18th national championship by a Pac-10 team since With a 15-5 Conference record, UCLA picked up the 2006 Pac-10 crown, while earning the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division I Softball Championship. OREGON STATE claimed the 2006 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, earning the school s first national title since a 1961 cross country championship. The Beavers became the first team in College World Series history to lose twice in Omaha and win the national title. In addition, OSU was the first truly Northern-based school to win the series since Ohio State in The Conference also swept NCAA volleyball and water polo honors. WASHINGTON captured the women s volleyball title, while UCLA garnered the men s volleyball hardware. Water polo might as well have been labeled Conference play as USC defeated STANFORD to claim the national title on the men s side and UCLA took care of USC to capture the women s championship. Rowing proved to be another showcase of Pac-10 talent, as CALIFOR- NIA claimed both the NCAA women s title and the men solidified their title dreams with an IRA championship. On the men s side, Pac-10 members have won 251 NCAA team championships, far ahead of the the 190 claimed by the runner-up Big Ten. Men s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac basketball titles by five schools (more than any other conference), 49 tennis titles, 45 outdoor track and field crowns, and 25 baseball titles. Pac-10 members have won 25 of the last 37 NCAA titles in volleyball, 32 of the last 47 in water polo, and 20 total swimming and diving national championships. Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA men s individual champions as well, claiming 1,127 NCAA individual crowns. On the women s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA began conducting women s championships 25 years ago, Pac-10 members have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 17 occasions. Overall, the Pac-10 has captured 100 NCAA women s crowns, easily outdistancing the Southeastern Conference, which is second with 66. Pac-10 members have dominated a number of sports, winning 18 softball titles, 17 tennis crowns, 11 of the last 16 volleyball titles, 11 of the last 17 trophies in golf and eight in swimming and diving. Pac-10 women athletes shine nationally on an individual basis as well, having captured an unmatched 464 NCAA individual titles, an average of more than 18 champions per season. The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference go back nearly 90 years to December 15, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at a meeting at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. Original membership consisted of four schools - the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State College (now Oregon State University). All still are charter members of the Conference. Pacific Coast Conference play began in One year later, Washington State College (now Washington State University), was accepted into the Conference, and Stanford University joined in In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the University of Southern California and the University of Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA. The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10-team league until 1950, with the exception of , when World War II curtailed intercollegiate athletic competition to a minimum. In 1950, Montana resigned from the Conference and joined the Mountain States Conference. The PCC continued as a nine-team Conference through In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and a new Conference was formed - the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Original AAWU membership consisted of California, Stanford, Southern California, UCLA, and Washington. Washington State became a member in 1962, while Oregon and Oregon State joined in In 1968, the name Pacific-8 Conference was adopted. Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University were admitted and the Pacific-10 Conference became a reality. In , the league took on a new look, expanding to include 10 women s sports. Currently, the Pac-10 sponsors 11 men s sports and 11 women s sports. Additionally, the Conference is a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men s sports and two other women s sports. Edwin N. Atherton was named the Conference s first Commissioner in He has been succeeded by Victor O. Schmidt (1944), Thomas J. Hamilton (1959), Wiles Hallock (1971), and current Commissioner Thomas C. Hansen in The Pacific-10 Conference offices are located 25 miles east of San Francisco in Walnut Creek, Calif. 2 PA C I F I C C O N F E R E N C E

3 P a c N o t e b o o k THE RETURNEES: The Pac-10 has a total of 148 starters returning (out of 240, including kickers), as better than 60% of last year s starters are back (61.7% to be exact). That is slightly above the average number of returnees over the last 10 years. Arizona has the most returning starters with 17, while USC has the fewest with 11, followed by UCLA with 13. The average Pac-10 team returns 15 starters--7 on offense, 6.5 on defense and 1.5 kickers. Here is a breakdown of who has what coming back: Returning Starters Off Def PK/P Total Arizona California Oregon State Stanford Oregon Washington Washington State Arizona State UCLA USC Average THE HEADLINERS: Despite seven non-seniors being drafted by the NFL, including five selected in the first two rounds, a number of players that received post-season honors in 2005 return. A total of eight players selected first-team All-Pac-10 by the league s coaches in 2005 return, along with 10 more who were named second-team, and 33 that earned honorable mention. Leading the way is USC SE Dwayne Jarrett, a unanimous first-team All-America selection last year and a Heisman candidate this season. Jarrett s teammates OT Sam Baker, C Ryan Kalil and DE Lawrence Jackson are all returning first-team All-Pac-10 picks, with Baker getting some All-America notice as well. Another first-team All-America pick returning is Oregon State PK Alexis Serna, winner of the Lou Groza Award as the nation s top place kicker last year. Other first-team All-Pac-10 selections returning include the California defensive duo of DT Brandon Mebane and CB Daymeion Hughes and kick returner Terry Richardson of Arizona State. As noted, an additional 10 second-team All-Conference selections also are back. Another player getting considerable attention on the Heisman and All-America Watch Lists is California TB Marshawn Lynch, who rushed for 1,246 yards in 10 games last season. BOWL PARTNERS: A little shuffling in the Pac-10 bowl picture this season. The champion is slated to go to the Rose Bowl, unless ranked one or two in the final BCS standings, in which case it would go to the BCS National Championship Game hosted by the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The rest of the Pac-10 bowl lineup features the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, Vitalis Sun Bowl, Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl, Emerald Bowl and Sheraton Hawai i Bowl. NO MORE MISSES: With the NCAA increasing the allowable number of regular season games to 12, the Pac-10 has adopted a full round-robin nine-game Conference schedule, meaning no more Conference misses to potentially influence the championship race. It marks the first time since Arizona and Arizona State entered the league in 1978 that the Pac-10 will have a full round-robin schedule in football. In addition, each school will play one home and one road game against a team from the other four geographical areas of the Conference, with the traditional rival games alternating each year to determine which teams play four and which teams play five Conference home games each year. NO NEW COACHES: For the first time since 2000, there will be no new head coaches in the Pac-10. TURNSTILES CLICKING: Pac-10 football has never been more popular as the Conference set records for both overall and average attendance in A total of 3,448,219 fans attended games at Pac-10 stadiums last year, an average of 57,470 per game. Both figures are new records for the Conference. Leading the way was USC, which became the first Pac-10 team to top more than 90,000 fans per game as an average of 90,812 jammed the L.A. Coliseum for Trojan games.
