USC to win third straight title

In all fairness you should add the 94/95 Penn State team to the list of Big 10 national champions. They went undefeated with a much harder schedule than Nebraska but some how got shut out.

Seriously, you anti-West Coast nutcases really need to pull your head out of the snow long enough to take a real look at the teams you're criticizing.

The 1st thing they need out there besides the Koran and the Threefold Lotus Sutra, is running water, toilets, electricity, and a sewage system. Must be tough living out there in the wilderness fetching from the stream, burying your own waste, reading by candlelight, cooking with firewood ;-)

Check the recnet bowl game results, the other conferences suddenly have no defense either when they plasy the pac-10.

And to the bama guy keep dreaming, i acutally saw Auburn play Ole Miss last saturday and if you only beat that team 13-10 on a FG in the final seconds you're screwed. That Ole Miss team was terrible. Between that agme and beating an apparently crappy Tennessee team 6-3, there's obviously no way you're gonna go undefeated. If i were you i'd keep the trash talking to a minimum.

Appalachian State plays LSU this weekend. AppState will pull an UPSET!!

The national championship is extremely subjective. I just was looking at the teams that won the major titles(AP, USA Today/ESPN). You could make the claim for 2 or 3 teams almost every year. I think many would claim that nebraska would have demolished michigan the year that they shared it. Anyway, there's an interesting link with all the different national champs in NCAA history. It's confusing because many of them used to vote before bowl games.

Bama beat Tennessee who beat LSU, and we throttled Florida who almost beat LSU and who beat UGA... there are always many ways to spin the facts. Even if Bama loses it doesn't mean you were right because other facts show that bama will "obviously" kill LSU and Auburn. Stats and scores mean s***, it's what happens on the field.

Horns without Young??

Whaddya think USC would do without Leinart??

Shut your pie-hole.

Bye Bye VT. Talk about overrated! Their offense totally sucked ass.

Oh, and their fans are pathetic - booing their own team. That's class.

I agree...vt sucked tonight... but booing our own team we dont do... you probably were thinking we were doing that when we cheered for cedric humes... when everyone goes HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMES....which sounds like booing... whatever... not a big deal... VT had no gameb tonight and miami really played well

This Year College Football is boring as hell. I'll tune in for the Rose Bowl and that's all. With computers the college game has become like baseball and the NFL, all stats and probabilities. Game planning, recruiting, scouting used to be a personal skill. The computer programs the coaching staff uses now run the whole show. USC with their talent pool in Los Angeles and the southwest has the obvious advantage over any other area of the country. Who'd want to play in any other part of the U.S. L.A. is where everyone in the world would like to be. College football is no longer a game, it's a factory.

Well, hate to say I called it in the VT versus Miami game, but I did. Just my opinion, but I think the brothers Vick might be the two most overrated Quarterbacks in football. Notice, I didn't say players, because they are scary as overall athletes, but not as quarterbacks.

Boy was I wrong about VT. Miami's defense is awesome, but it was just multiplied by Vick's mistakes (like dropping the ball everytime someone got close to him). I'd love to see USC's offense against Miami's defense, now that would be fun to watch. For the national championship game they should combine Texas' offense with Miami's defense versus USC's offense and Alabama's defense. Not only do those 2 defenses stop you, but they score on you too.

Okay, I'll join the chorus: I was wrong about VT's defense. (Or, at least, was wrong in assuming they'd show up for every game.) Guess I was just giving too much credit to those "East Coast" teams! ;-)

Even the much maligned north isn't that bad. Probably the worst team in the north Iowa State kicked the crap out of Iowa who is one of the strongest teams in the big 10.

Wow you're stupid. Iowa State is second in the Big XII North, far from the "worst team", and Iowa is seventh in the Big Ten, far from "one of the strongest teams". And it was a rivalry game so anything can happen. Iowa always manages to lose an early game against an opponent they should have easily beaten. It has been this way since 1996 (Tulsa).

The Big Ten is very strong this year, and it will be proven come bowl season. Michigan State beat Notre Dame and now they are 2-4 against Big Ten opponents. The conference doesn't have the contenders up front like some other conferences, but no one can line up with the middle of the Big Ten.

I have to give major props to the person who picked Miami over VPI. I honestly thought that the Hokies looked near-invincible this year. Poor Alabama though. They are the real deal, but won't get a chance to prove it. I think they would give USC a better game than anyone else.

Yes, this argument about the SEC featuring tough games week in and week out is absurd., There are good teams in that conference, bnut more dogs than you'll find in the Pac10. Bama's first 9 games include only 2 teams with winning records, and many plain awful teams. Next up 1-6 Miss St? Please. There's a reason that at 8-0 they are not in the top 10 in power rankings.

Georgia scores even worse. They might be a better team than Bama, but what winning teams have they beaten? S. Carolina and Boise St.? Get real, top to bottom the SEC is not a tough gauntlet to run.

I will admit the SEC is down this year. However, to say the PAC-10 is tougher is a joke. You guys out west ever heard of something called defense?!

And this year, it appears the SEC has not heard of "offense".

SoCalPete,

I guess many could say the same about UCLA, I guess everyone was giving too much credit to those "West Coast teams". ;-)

Personally I think a lot of people(including myself) didn't give Miami the respect they deserved. The year would look very different if they would have won that 1st game against Fl. St.

youre joking right? so we can assume you wont be tuning in to 'bama - lsu on saturday for some smashnouth sec football?

texas will demolish usc in the rose bowl. believe it.

The state Texas has a terrible history with choking under fire and dodging conflict. Lyndon Johnson, George W. Bush, A legacy of cowardice and deception. That whole region is a disgrace to America and Jesus. I can't think of a sadder part of America to be from. I feel sorry for the kids though.
