Last week the Pac-12 had a chance to improve its non-conference record with a pair of its teams taking on foes from opposing conferences.

BCS National Championship, a set on Flickr. On January 10th, 2011 the Oregon Ducks traveled to Glendale, Arizona to take on the Auburn Tigers for the Tostitos National Championship.
