ESPN is saying that USC is back. Where did they go? IMO, they've been the same overrated, mediocre, offensively small/fast, defensively weak team for a few years now. The AP's love affair with USC is nauseating. However, 5 of the top 10 teams are SEC!

Um, they were pretty damn loaded for the most part of the 2000s.

Not the case. They have size on offense.

If they were as good as ESPN claims they are, they wouldn't be losing games at home to 40-point underdogs starting third-string quarterbacks.

And UCLA. Ever.

The same one that went 10-2 last year & returns 15 starters from last year, including the 2013 #1 Draft Pick? Seems pretty "back" to me.

Wrong board. Shouldn't this be on the SEC rant with the other tard flames?

The talk will get ramped up in the weeks to come as USC shreds through the Pac 12 swiss cheese defenses like a hot knife through butter.

Overrated? Maybe...

Small on offense? Not so much

Weak Defense? Only against the SEC, but then they're still pretty decent.

What do you mean..."against the SEC?"

Vandy on down? Everybody?

Or do you mean LSU/Bama but like to say...SEC to sound like the whole conference has LSU/Bama defenses?

That's like saying the PAC 10 was undefeated against the SEC when only USC was undefeated against them.

I don't mean the conference as a whole. They'd be ranked probably 4/5 in the conference in defense. LSU/BAMA are 1/2 without a doubt. There is always a shocking team that has a damn good defense one year.

I don't think USC is bad at defense, and they could handle the SEC but they're "above average" in the SEC. Instead of "excellent" in the PAC/B1G/B12.
