re: USC = overrated

the only reason they put sec teams in the top ten is because they ran out of other teams to put in

Yea because shitty conferences like the PAC-10 cant put more than 2 teams in the top 25, much less 4 in the top 10.

The thought that USC plays a tougher schedule than LSU is laughable. Any USC fan who claims there schedule this season is tougher than LSU's is completely delusional.

LSU plays 2, possibly 3 teams this season that are better than Ohio State.

Other than Ohio State and MAYBE Oregon, USC plays NO ONE.

Only if they are rated as the greatest team ever.

That's what you seem to hear everywhere.

Hypothetical this weekend:

Virginia loses to Duke, and Ohio State loses a close one to Troy (the only strech here)

UCS would have beaten beaten a 1-3 team (16-0 FCS Richmond), a 2-2 Ohio State with quality wins over Youngstown and the nail biter with Ohio, and 1-3 Beavers (thankful June Jones isn't in Hawaii).

Does that make them clearly and undisputedly the best team in the country?

My whole point in this thread is that USC has played a Virginia team that got pounded by Uconn and an vastly over-rated Ohio State. You can't argue Virginia as a quality opponent, and Ohio State doesn't look like a top 10 team.

Put USC #1 in the polls that don't matter this week, but just don't let anyone get away with the blanket statement that they'll beat any team in the country. Don't lock them into #1 for the year before they play their third game, or at least a proven opponent.

hah you think what you want i guess north texas was a great team to play lsu should just schedule its first four games against high school teams , and yeah you probaly would frick usc , since its loaded with men

naw

USC is just having a half of no focus. it happens to them every year against lesser teams

i don't think anybody who follows CFB thought they'd go through a season without these games

USC is overrated every year...that's just how it is. It doesn't mean they aren't the best team, but they are always rated higher without the need to prove themselves. Just have to live with it or stop the media from rating them.

USC could score 40 in this game, and they'd still be overrated. There's absolutely no excuses for this.

1. They KNOW that this is a let down game since it's been on ESPN all fricking week.

2. It's early in the season, thus there are no injuries to put some of the blame on (ala Arky last year for LSU).

3. USC has roughly 30 5* prospects, whereas OSU has none.

4. USC has 5-6 possible Pac-10 1st team defenders, OSU doesn't.

5. USC is #1, OSU has one win.



This is absolutely inexcusable. Petey needs to do something with his players' mentality.

ETA, losing Shareece for this game isn't that big of a deal considering it's OSU, and that most of their damage has come on the ground.

Absolutely correct. Not focusing sure the frick isn't one, either.
