I said USC has a much better team than Oregon St.

My opinion is that USC could compete with any team in any conference. For the last 3 years they haven't just played in the Rose Bowl they have won it. Is that money as well?

 

Winning the Rose Bowl against 2nd rate Big-10 teams proves nothing.

USC is all hype. They are a decent team that plays in a crap conference. Overall their regular season opponents combine for a LOSING RECORD.

Their opponents combined for 68 wins and 76 losses. Tough schedule.

 

I like how they used the " The Pac-10 is 5-0 in the postseason" argument. How does that have any weight at all? Theres been quite a few blowouts and mismatched teams this year. Maybe if there was some common opponents to compare the Pac 10 to the rest of the conferences, but I'm not buying it. Pac 10 is still weak, Big 12 and SEC run the show. That's why THEY are being represented in the championship game. Even Texas deserved to go before USC did.

 

I'll second that. Pussburger is like a curse for any big 10 team. You can here paper rattle when he calls a game because he has to look for player names. Wish he would retire or go to basketball..anything.

Sick of pac 10 and SEC. Homefield advantage every year. Come to the cold and play!

 

The only way we would know truly how good USC is would be if they would schedule harder games. For their non conference games next year why not schedule Texas, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, or Oklahoma as a regular season game. When they run the table and go undefeated and beat someone for the Nat'l Champ Title then they will be the best team in the country. Until then it's all hype!

Do I think USC could beat Florida, Oklahoma, or Texas... NO.

 

We already know that USC can't beat Texas. They can't beat any team that has any substance to it.

 

So I found what Carroll said:

Except for Oregon State dumbass. 27-21.

And then there was USC running back C.J. Gable, taking it one step further.

These folks need to stay out the sun. Idiots.

 

I would like to see Pete Carroll make those same comments if there WAS a playoff system in place. Not to mention, let's see them win a bowl on a NEUTRAL field.

 

I was referring to the post game interview on the field where he said what I said above. I did not see the press conference. I stand corrected. That was a pretty dumb statement.

I think he got hit a little too hard.

 

boo freaking hooo, for all you SEC fans that don't know how to travel (ie Georgia), its not USC's fault they have a contract with the Rose bowl. PSU showed up with good numbers, but in the end, the better team won. anyone trying to use the fact that the Rosebowl is so close to explain a poor showing is being a... well, you know.

USC took themselves out of the title race, Pete and his players have acknowledged that. just another reason for a playoff, to see who is playing the best ball at the end of the season. because right now, USC is playing strong. I won't pretend to know what would happen if USC played Texas or Florida, we'll never know. But to say that USC would get stomped by any team just because the Pac is weak is just plain ignorant. Penn State was contending for a title, and look what we did to them. you never really know how a team is going to match up and perform until they play, otherwise what would be the point.

right on brother. not that it matters anymore, but the OC was spelled Sarkisian.

not to be arrogant, but its only natural for fans to hate teams that have been consistently great. its hard to deny that USC has had a lot of talent and success over that last few years. So man up, and give respect where respect is due.
