I agree and disagree with you on a few points and here we go.
1. Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing Florida play Ohio in the BCS championship, because I think they would have a better shot at it than USC...
2. Ohio State will kick USC's ass in the BCS championship.
Now... I disagree with you because..
1. The Trojans were in the right place at the right time to get to the #2 slot.
2. West Coast football gets NO respect from anyone on the east coast.
3. USC has the toughest football schedule than ANY.. and I repeat ANY university in the nation.
4. The BCS is not the only poll they are second in... ie.. AP and Coaches.
Yes, USC lost a game to Oregon.. oh well. It dropped them to where they were and then everyone else above them lost a game which put them back at 2nd.
happens and sometimes it's all about timing, timing, timing.. because if they remained undefeated and lost to ND, they wouldn't be #2 anymore, Michigan would be. But it just worked out that they lost a game earlier than the rest.
USC has an awesome program, whether you want to admit it or not. You have to give them props even though that they haven't looked as good as they have in the past 4 years, but they don't have anymore Carson Palmer's, Matt Leinart's, or Reggie Bush's. They do however have a "team" and that is more important than a bunch of superstar standouts.
SO.. should they be there... BCS, Coaches and AP says yes. Suck it up dude and drive on....
Plus we can still screw it up... we play UCLA this week.
Oh, and yes, I can be critical about my team and not feel bad about it. I am suprised they have only lost 1 game this year. Either way, OSU is in a league all it's own this year.
P.S. and about Texas..
happens... We blew it.. Oh well.
P.P.S. I worked at USC as a professor for 3 years. I love the school and the team
FIGHT ON!
