Please, somebody elaborate on why these d-bags get the privellage of being #4 in the Mock BCS? Well I should re-state that considering it's not really that big of an honor to be ranked high in the BCS, but more so of a curse. Anyways, It's obvious that the BCS is a crock of shite, but somehow they are # 4 in both the coaches and computer poll. I'm not sitting here whinning like a little girl, but I want to seriously hear if anybody can come up with a GOOD explanation...

That's exactly what USC fans think, too.

Don't be surprised when the TD.com poll isn't much different.

I agree the bcs is a crock of shite. To attempt to be able to figure out who the two best and most deserving teams is impossible with everyone playing far different schedules.

The baest answer is 8 team playoff, 6 bcs champs, and the 2 highest rated champions of non bcs conferences, usually the WAC and MWC champ. IF you do not win your conference then Shut the frick up.

They beat OSU, which aside from Tex, Bama, and Florida is the most impressive win this season. They have 1 loss like almost everyone else. They beat everyone handily in the games they won and lost by not too much in the one they lost.

Teams that should be ahead of them? Texas, Bama, OU, Texas Tech, Penn state, Utah, BYU Mizzou, Ok State, Florida, UGA, (maybe us, but probably not)... They lost to freaking Oregon State, but they beat a horrible ASU team and all of a sudden jump up in the polls. Also, I can not see why USC hates the BCS, they get favored any time they have a chance...

Then the Pac 10 would need a conference championship game.

Before I scroll down. Here comes Ruffalo saying who deserves to be ahead of them. Mentioning the Vegas consultant poll.

I do agree with you MFRuffalo on the fact that's how the season should end up. Kinda gay though that the BCS extended their contract to what? Another 10 years like it is? It needs to change bad.

A conference championship game has nothing to do with a playoff system.

They lost to a 25 pt. dog. Which should immediatley put you behind other one loss teams that beat the teams they were supposed to (except LSU at the present time).

Rankings are worthless until November, anyway.

WTF?? Maybe LSU? Are you insane? The fact is that USC currently has the toughest SOS played out of any 1 loss (or undefeated team).

Don't get me wrong, I understand that rankings are absolutely pointless and worthless right now and I'm really not trying to complain just about anything. I just honestly want to know why every single ranking in the history of mankind sucks USC's dick so much?

BYU or Georgia


USC -

Best win - #12OSU (6-1) (Won by 32)
Quality Wins - Oregon (5-2), UVA (3-3), ASU (2-4)
Loss - OSU (3-3)

UGA -

Best Win - USC (5-2)
Quality Wins - ASU (2-4), UT (2-4)
Loss - #2 Bama (6-0) (Embarrassing)

BYU -

Not even worth doing, their best wins are over UCLA (2-4) and Washington (0-5)

We all just need to take a deep breath. USC's toughest part of their schedule was the 1st half, the rest of the way they play no one and the computers will inevitably catch up with them.
