USC hasn't seen a real offense ? No, not yet. In the Pac-10 ? Probably not. Does that take away from how good they are ??? HELL NO. They are serving up complete domination, not even breaking a sweat.
If we can find a team worthy enough of a few beads of sweat, so be it !

But how can you say your D is "dominating" if the offense that's playing against it is awful, or, at best, mediocre?
With that logic of the D being "completely dominate," we should just crown you National Champions now, no? Also, if that O was to play a more physical D, I suspect that it wouldn't be as successful. Sanchez a good QB? No way, José (pun intended)!

First of all, that was a highly touted, experienced defense we came up against, with highly honored, experienced linebackers. The knock on USC has been that they can't handle running QBs (por ejemplo Vince Young and Dennis Dixon) not that they can't handle a good rush and pass attack. OSU tried to exploit that weakness by sending in Pryor, but USC was ready. No one was calling OSU's offense weak after the first week, but when USC shuts them down, then they are weak. you are assuming what you are setting out to prove.
The great thing about the USC offense is that there are so many weapons, its hard for a Defensive Coordinator to pick a weakness. Shut down our finesse back (Gable and Mcknight) and we'll throw in our bruisers (Bradford and Johnson). Take your pick of wide receivers to shut down, and look what happens, we slip the ball into the endzone with a tight end or a streaking fullback that runs like a running back and catches like a receiver. you're right Jditta, I'd hope that USC lost early too so I wouldn't have to face 'em in a title game

They will lose to someone, I guarantee it. they are good but they aren't going undefeated(my sole opinion, I haven't seen their schedule)

there is a chance:

But I agree, going undefeated is damn hard. I can see it happening this year though.

Seriously, Jditta, ND over USC? From my experience with their fans, they are pompous and unknowledgeable about any football but Irish football. America's team my @$$
. I root for USC and any team playing fUCLA and ND

Sorry Jditta, ND aint gunna do it this year. I am with 2low on this one, most ND fans I meet, don't know jack about football, sometimes not even Irish ball.

Maybe washington will put on a game, I guess time will tell.

That doesn't sound too tough, LSU would be a good game, we'd destroy Georgia (look what they did against the gameco cks, snoozefest , Auburn=easy (they couldn't even score a touchdown) 'bama might be tough (can't tell yet, they haven't played a good team since Clemson), Florida would be a game, but Tennessee would be a cake walk (they lost to UCLA, c'mon). Looks doable
Guess like all we can do is take the best the SEC has to offer in the title game.

Im not saying USC would suck but I bet they wouldn't be NEAR as dominant 
You think Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia would be easy games, you must know something that no other sports player, coach, analyst, or fan knows or smoke some fine cheeba
You seem like a intelligent football fan so i'm assuming that was a mis type

Your forgetting the physical toll your team would take, plus away games are WAY harder in the SEC Im not saying USC would suck but I bet they wouldn't be NEAR as dominant

I think we would beat Auburn. not sure if it would be "easy" but more then do-able.
Georgia might be much more of a game, IMHO.
Florida and LSU would be damn fun games to watch against USC, but I do think USC would come out on top.
Finally, nothin wrong with fine cheeba
ok, im moving up to the "new" thread
