So how did they "stock up" on recruits? Last I checked, every university was limited in the number of recruits they could sign each year.

Good question. I remember reading some pieces, maybe by Ted Miller of ESPN who covers the PAC-12, about how they stalked up. I cant remember exactly how they did it, but I think they grey shirted lots of guys, or brought on many walk-ons, or some other funky thing to prepare for the 10 player hits they will be getting, starting in this new recruiting class. I just cannot remember exactly what they did that was special, but there was something. It seems USC did a really good job of hedging against the reductions some how. Can't remember exactly though...

I do remember though reading how USC's depth was really thin and they could of easily used much help from last year's freshman class with many players but they chose to not play any to keep their redshirts as a buffer for the years coming down the pike.

That makes sense in terms of having bodies but there is no way their talent level won't take a hit with reduced scholarships to hand out.

I really don't see anyone outside the SEC winning the BCSNC for the foreseeable future. If the BCS is truly about pairing the "best" two teams, an SEC team should be in it every year. These discussions IMo are merely about who will lose to the SEC in the championship game.
