None that were 11-0, none that had beaten people at the time. I only mention the other victories because you say florida has been a junk schedule. When compared to USC its alot harder.


I started to follow USC when Palmer got there and ever since him its been a high octane offense. USC is falling off hard this year with sanchez

This is gold.. if they had a good line like Oklahoma then they should be putting up 60 per game like oklahoma. Bradford has years to throw the ball and does. If USC's line is so good then how come none of their players stand out, or for that matter any of their total game stats ? and dont you DARE say the PAC 10 has good defense, may I remind you they are 1-15 OOC outside of USC.

Because they have three backs who've rushed for over 600 yards this year. They're extremely balanced offensively, they don't throw deep every other play like Oklahoma and they don't run up the score like said team. I"m not saying their as good an offensive team as the Sooners, but their line is just as good and their defense is on an entirely different level. It's ridiculous and illogical to assume that because they don't have gaudy offensive numbers their line isn't as good as the Sooners.

I never said they had a junk schedule. Florida has the better signature victory, but USC has a stronger schedule overall. I'd say it's even. Instead of bull****ting about how much stronger the SEC is, you know, just because, why don't you look at their actual SOS.

So? Your point? They haven't needed to score in bunches. Yet again with the double standards, what's different for Bama? Oh yeh, they're exempt because they play in the SEC. Never mind USC has a superior running and passing game.

Bradford and Harrell both throw on average 390+ yards per game. Not even taking into account their rushing yards or their team's rushing yards. So almost single handly Both those QBs throw for more yards then USC has TOTAL yards.

So? Didn't I already explain that? and What about the rest of my argument?

Another knock on USC that I just noticed. Most of their bowl wins have been on practically home field. The Rose Bowl is 11 miles from where their home field is.

Won 2003 Orange Bowl
Won 2004 Rose Bowl
Won 2005 Orange Bowl*
Lost 2006 Rose Bowl*
Won 2007 Rose Bowl
Won 2008 Rose Bowl
Won 2009 Rose Bowl

So really how good are they? They play in a weak conference and then get home field advantage to play their bowl game.

ProggyMan

Yeh, they beat Oklahoma 55-19 in Miami...The Rose Bowl splits the tickets with both athletic departments, if you'd watched the game you would have known that. I think they answered any concerns about offense in the Rose Bowl, they scored more in the 1st half than Penn State had given up in a game all year. But yeh, they suck, their weakass conference went 4-0 against ranked teams in the bowls...

Just give me a god damn playoff so I don't have to hear about how good USC is at the end of every year. If they're so good and Pete Carrol is such a great coach then don't lose to Oregon State, UCLA, and Stanford.

The biggest advantage to home field advantage is not having to travel, able to sleep in your bed etc. Sure the crowd cheering is nice but the big thing is able to do everything you've been doing without having to get travel lagged. If you played any sports for varsity you'd know this. For me personally I loved to play when the crowd hated my team.

So USC beat an overconfident Oklahoma team that could only run. If i am not mistaken almost every year USC loses one of those games, even worse to teams that are sub-par. And I still havent forgotten the USC vs ND game where they cheated to win.

ProggyMan

This is such stupid logic, FSU is the only school even close to being as consistently good as USC has been over a decade.

It's a bowl game, they arrive a month before...

Ignoring the cheap shot that's a good point...But it supports my argument.

55-19...They put up 55 points on one of the top defenses in the country...

Well, if you wanna talk about blown calls the Rose Bowl against Texas was much worse...

Oregon State isn't sub par, they beat a ranked team in their bowl game without their top two players. Besides, who cares if they get upset once a year, they've still won 11 games and 2 NCs in the past 6 seasons.

Edit: What doesn it take to shut you up? a 4-0 record against ranked teams in the bowl season?

thegoldlaw

This is EVEN WORSE.. spending a month away from your home, USC CAN travel to their home EVERY night. You just made my point!

Like I said an overconfident team that can only run. I acturally called the score on this game 49-14 and everyone said I was crazy. Oklahoma went into wayy to ****y, which USC does every year.. but to ALOT worse teams.. Stanford? are you serious?

Right minus the fact.. if the CORRECT call was made.. USC automatically LOSES.. there was no calls in the texas/usc game that automatically decided the outcome of the game. As I recall USC had the ball last and COULD NOT SCORE.

Completely ignoring all the other **** loses they had. Can you even name a year any other team from the PAC 10 won the NC. I can 1922!
