We see conspiracies everywhere. And there is a good reason for that. Folks are out to get you. Trust me on this.
When I agreed to be one of the 119 "players, coaches and media members" who voted on the Pac-12's All-Century Team, I knew I was joining a conspiracy to annoy. By accepting an impossible task -- how can we possibly compare players from different eras in the past century and ignore their post-college accomplishments? -- I knew exactly what would happen.
USC would happen.
And it did. Essentially half the All-Century Team -- 24 players -- were Trojans, as was the Coach of the Century, John McKay.
