USC Wuz Robbed!

The real national championship <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Let's just have it at MSG and we'll promote it as a David vs. Goliath match. We'll put Caroll in his corner and Stoops in mine. Wait!? What's Mack Brown and Vince Young doing coming to ringside? Who's side are they on? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just to humor this joke, if Young and Brown came out, it'd basically telegraph the result, with you supporting them and me bashing them...

Even if they do poorly, they'd be wise to stick to their guns and keep him away. This season seems to be a wash for Philly anyways. Just close up shop already.

Whoo! 7-2 baby!

Why in media reports do they always refer to WWE stuff as "WWE Smackdown!" instead of "WWE Raw!"?

Who could Miami trade for Rivers? At least with the Jets the Chargers has shown interest in John Abraham.

I think Rivers is going to New York Jets or Dallas.

I just checked, the depth chart has it Orton, Blake and then Kurt Kittner.

If Orton goes down, its Hutchinson. I don't even think Krenzel is still on the roster. Oh yeah Jeff Blake is there too.

He fights the good fight

It's sad that two years in a row, Dama vs Porter has happened. It's just odd that this time its with Dama's team's most hated rival.

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually now that I examined it, yeah Texas probably has a stronger schedule. If all three win out, then to be fair, the weakest schedule should lose out, which yeah would be USC.

NYJ scored to make it 14-7 trailing San Diego.

So the outcome decides which order they are in? FEEL THE EXCITEMENT!

Uhh no. Texas has a weaker schedule. As Dama would like to crow on, the only team of note they beat was Ohio State. Last time I checked, Notre Dame, USC's showcase opponent is ranked higher than Ohio State.

I'll go on the record to say that as long as there are two undefeated teams, Miami definitely shouldn't get the nod over them.

Yes it's a good idea to omit the undefeated defending champions with a stronger schedule than Texas's.

Fine with me. I'm not the one calling for Alabama's inclusion. In the other thread I said I'd like to see a SEC opponent in the Rose Bowl should USC make it. If Texas gets in, its fine with me.

Corso doesn't represent my opinion, sorry.

My boy? Assuming things now? Ok you lose. Now who's flamebaiting?

Drop the persecution complex. Mmmkay?

We have Orton at QB, not Krenzel.

Whether I like Texas or not, the fact remains: They are overrated. You crow on about how beating Ohio State legitimized Texas. No sorry, it didn't. They trailed OSU the entire game, only to come back in the closing minutes. Then they have a schedule where Fresno State probably would plow through as well. All the factors combined= overrated. I admit USC is a bit overrated as well, but not as overrated as Texas. Plain and simple. See, I can look at things a bit unbiased. You pick an underdog and defend them to the death, even when you are completely wrong.

Perhaps the best idea is not to do any polls til halfway through the season, so that things would seem more fair, as far as ranking teams.

Like I said, I'd prefer a Pac-10/SEC fight. It'd be interesting to see how USC fares against a team that would slow down the pace of the game considerably.
