CFB preseason rankings are so silly. We have seen nothing of these teams, yet pollsters know enough to sort them in some kind of order. The worst part is that these preseason polls can have an effect on final rankings.

Make no mistake, no team has earned a ranking spot. Not LSU, not Bama, and certainly not USC.

My comment was about preseason polls. For an example of their validity look at 2004 & 2011 Auburn. Preseason perception screwed Auburn in 2004.

There are about 9 other USC fans on this board. Any one of them could have posted this same exact thread and gotten a better response.

The OP is a jackass troll.

I think it's more that the op treats the MSB like his own personal USCw board when no one else cares. He posts a USCw thread every day

Incorrect. There are far more threads about USC that are started by LSU fans than me or USC fans here.

Sitting in a folding chair at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux this summer, USC quarterback Matt Barkley wasn’t thinking about how different his life might have been. By that point, he would have been a millionaire, and by now, he could be battling for a starting job in the NFL. Such were the options after a brilliant 2011 campaign. Barkley completed nearly 70 percent of his passes for 3,528 yards and a Pac-12 Conference-record 39 touchdowns to go with a stingy seven interceptions.


Is that "pumping up" or just factual information?

USC threads are Among the most popular on TD.com. I do not think there has ever been one that has not been multiple pages long

I'm sure they voted before we found out USC lost its third defensive starter for the season.

I just went over to the USC board. Two huge threads on the first page on SEC/LSU....interesting. Glad to see the obsession is still going on over there in Cali.

Pales in comparison. You do not really want
me to count the number of USC threads started by LSU fans here do you?

That was on their USC page, not their off-topic page. I dont see any USC threads on the rant right now. Also, the number of users/posts on Tiger Droppings blows that website out of the water. Lastly, in terms of irony, isn't it ironic you live on an LSU site? Who is obsessed with who?

WHich USC site are you talking about?

I live in BRLA. Post here, USC and Saints sites. And yes, this site does blow most out of the water which I why I visit. Historically, the Rant was filled with USC posts. It was not until the admins started cracking down that they were posted here.

Please, I don't flame you on FightOn247, so don't do it here. I know it says MSB, but you know what you're doing.

Posting a link to an article about my favorite team on the MSB, and without any comentary, is not flaming. You know that. Any other comments by me in this thread are merely in-kind responses to others. You know that too.
