Well badandy, I have to say that it's only the fans of USC that I've seen lauding their team.
Everyone else seems to think they're very much overrated.
Or it's the NFL scouts who consistently pick Trojan players high in the draft every year. Or it's the teams we crush in BCS bowls. Just because we are the media darling does NOT mean we're overrated. That's been said for the past six years. And guess what's happened? A 5-1 BCS bowl game record.
You know, there's a reason LSU, despite all their big SEC talk and Pac 10 bashing, refused to play us.
Out here the talk of the town is how crappy the Pac 10 is, the Mountain West (a supposedly inferior conference) went 6 and 1 against the Pac 10 this year.
You think I give a rat's bum about how good or bad you think the Pac 10 is? People recognize talent when they see it.
There were rumblings about Utah seceding from the MWC and joining up with the Pac, but nobody even wants to consider that option anymore, the Pac just wouldn't show our relative strength like the MWC does lately. We've got 3 top 25 BCS teams, how many does the Pac 10 have?
Oh give me a break. We have one bad year and everyone jumps on the Pac 10. Last I remember, Oregon would have made (and probably won) the BCS championship game last year had Dennis Dixon (a legitimate Heisman contender) not injured his knee.
And let me tell you, the USC rating is crap and even you know it. Look what happened to BYU, they lose to a team that is ranked in the top 15 in the BCS polls and who would rock any team in the Pac (yes even USC) and they go from #9 to #21.
Laughable.
I hate USC and yes I do think that right now the Utes would hand them their hats on the field.
Keep the hate coming, but people in your own conference know what's best for them.
Perhaps we'll get a match up in the BCS this year.
Perhaps, and if you do really well and continue to do really well by getting BCS games for six years and performing outstandingly in all of them, you'll get the benefit of the doubt in the future when flukes happen or when you're being compared against other teams with similar numbers of losses.
That's the only game the media could even consider a test as the rest of your schedule is full of cupcakes.
Does that make us any worse? Again, Kobe Bryant playing high schoolers doesn't make him any less "Kobe".
Especially since everyone knows that as soon as USC has a down year, they'll all completely disappear.
Look at the once proud franchises like the Celtics and Lakers. Until both of them started doing well in the last year or two, their attendances were down. Boston Celtics fans are some of the most bandwagon fans I've ever seen. Unlike you, however, I will mention that the bandwagoning applies to some of the fans, not all. It's the same at USC.
Man I hate USC and the superiority complex of their fans.
It's not a complex if you really are superior.
I try not to blame them too much - I'd probably be the same way if mommy and daddy bought my degree and sent me off in a BMW too.
I think you're a little ticked off that USC is more academically prestigious than Texas. It's alright, we all can't get into USC.
I think there are two reasons USC is so highly ranked. I believe the first reason is USC's consistency of having successful seasons
Bingo.
Hey, I'm a Utah fan behind Boise State, but I think that statement is laughable. Heh heh. Whether you hate USC or not there is no denying that they have a LOT of talent on their football team.
It is laughable. And I like both Utah and Boise State.
To say Utah would beat USC simply because Utah beat Oregon State at home is ridiculous.
It's not only ridiculous, it's indicative of someone who doesn't really know sports. Hey, the Atlanta Hawks beat the Spurs last year in the NBA. Since the Toronto Raptors beat the Hawks, I bet they're better than the Spurs!!!111one
