USC Crying Again

I like thjat he sticks up for his players. he could be more manly about it

quote:

---

I am tired of USC saying they are getting cheated

---

i saw the pete's post game interview and he said nothing about getting "cheated". he just said that he can beat anyone in the country. you disagree with that?

quote:

---

but using blowouts against Big Ten schools

---

they have no control over this, man.

The BCS, fun as it is to put in your "resume" every year, is flawed.

While this is certainly true, USC and PC, just like UT, OU, UF and every other qualified Uni's AD/HC out there signs on to it annually.

Point being: if the ADs/college prez's don't like it, change it. Otherwise, live with it, just like an unfortunate and quite undefeated Auburn had to do in 04. The irony there, is that while USC may or not have still emerged victorious, it's a damn sure bet no SEC team is going to get itself azzwhacked in the first 8 minutes of a national championship game.

The BCS IS flawed, but if PC and USC don't like it, then don't agree to participate in it when the time comes to sign on to it. Or get USC's AD and Prez to start a move toward some kind of big boys playoff system.

Otherwise, do what everyone else does, live with it and quit yer bitchin'.

On a closing note, nice game against that other conference ... oh, and happy new year!

You are right, but they need to have a little perspective. Blowing out or beating a Big Ten school in the Rose Bowl over and over again is great and all, but it's not going to convince anyone that you are the best team in the country. Everyone pumped up the USC-OSU game this year, and OSU didn't belong on the same field. But guess what? OSU beat up on the rest of their schedule so they can go to a BCS game.

USC needs to schedule some games against top tier SEC teams and top-tier Big XII teams and win those games if they want the national respect they think they should get. But for now, losing to a big underdog once a year will drop them to a point where they can never recover as the teams with respect from the media jump over them.

So yes, they cannot control that they are playing Big Ten teams in the bowl games, but they can control their regular season, and they use ND and Big Ten teams to "prop up" their SOS. That's a shitty way to do it.

Pete might have a point. There's no proof that either Oklahoma or Florida is better than USC.

IT IS SIMPLE....
Tell the media darling to INSIST on a Conference PLAYOFF (Championship Game).

yes, I know the PAC 10 plays each other...guess what...in the SEC, sometimes the teams in the Championship Game have already played each other.

*They play in a traditionally weaker conf.
*They play no championship game, thus
"1 less chance" of losing--to what would be a in theory, "the second strongest team in the conf."

while all the other teams that play a championship game, have "sort off" played in an "equivalent" National Championship game befoire playing the actual NC Game.

So little crying bo Pete, man up...
step to the plate and demand a Conf, game.

There's no proof that either Oklahoma or Florida is better than USC.

There's also no proof that OU or Florida is better than Ball State...or Clemson...or Army. What kind of argument is that?

quote:

---

Mack Brown has a similar argument.

---

No he doesn't...unlike USC, he actually beat one of the teams playing for the title. He actually beat more than 1 real BCS team.

---

USC has beaten five bowl winners this season, and two BCS bowl participants. They belong in a discussion about the National Championship. Ball State, Clemson and Army do not.

Mack Brown has a similar argument. No he doesn't...unlike USC, he actually beat one of the teams playing for the title. He actually beat more than 1 real BCS team.

Again, USC has beaten not one, but TWO real BCS teams. And yes, Mack Brown's argument is the better one against Oklahoma, but my point stands. The system is flawed, and the BCS produces only "Mythical National Champions" because of it.

Cal over Miami happened.
