this shows USC has really under-achieved for the insane amount of tallent they have.

Also with the exception of Georgia all of the top ten in recruiting have a national title (or 2 for LSU)in the past 10 years

1 USC NC 2004
2 Florida NC 2006
3 LSU NC 2003 & 2007 (soon to be 2008)
4 Oklahoma NC 2000
5 Texas NC 2005
6 Georgia NC Who knows
7 Ohio State NC 2002
8 Michigan NC 1998
9 Florida State NC 1999
10 Miami NC 2001

Very well said, and or the other possibility is that thier recruits are over rated due to more recruiting services have talent evaluators in CA than the SouthEast per capita and per talent.
Thus, recruiting agencies are more inclined to pump up local guys in Ca, than to get on a plane which cost money vs. drive to a local High School.

And, it very well may be combination of both.

Bottom-line, I agree...they continue to underachieve.

When you realize Rich Rodriguez is a Tulane reject, you can understand why Tulane is where they are.

I officially gave up on Tulane when they didn't give the job to Rodriguez. They didn't want to continue with the offense that produced their perfect season--amazing!

I find it funny USC has underachieved in your "opinions".

We have two national titles, three Heismans and six straight BCS bowls, in which we are 5-1. We also lost a national title to VY, and were two upset losses (ucla in '06 and Stanford in '07) from playing for the mnc again each year.

We also have had a multitude of AAs and a large number of 1st and 2nd round draft picks.

If underachieving is being the most dominant program in the decade, then everyone should strive to underachieve as well!

Let's see over this time frame we have the best record over any team in the nation playing the strongest schedule of any team on that list over the time fram listed (Sagarin), won an AP NC and a bcs NC, won the PAC-10 every season etc.

Also keep in mind that we did not lose a game by more than a TD at all during the past 6 years. I don't quite think that is underachieving.
