Seems pretty close in quality of opponents...

Even closer when you break down the games. The game against UGA, has to be looked at properly. USCe had a 21 point lead in the first. 7 from a long drive, solid points. THe next 7 come from a tipped pass at the line for an INT, not a pick 6 but short field off a turnover. The next score came from a kick return. I don't have the play to know if it was blown coverage or a good return.

I know these things are part of football, and I'm not saying discount the win at all, but UGA is not built to shoot it out like a WVU or TTU. ANd I'm not saying USCe wouldn't have still put up 35, but UGA had to throw from the get go to get back in the game. If the big plays are eliminated, it's a completely different ball game to start. We would maybe be playing a 5-1 USCe team, or they may still be indeafeted but have won 21-14 or 17. That's the beauty of college football, and for people thinking we can't/won't win, Death Valley is worth an X-factor.
