Troutfisher Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 What happened to the Trojans? Stanford beat them? At home? USC predicted to win by 38? Let the smack talking begin! 8-) Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 7, 2007 Super User Posted October 7, 2007 I'm glad....they needed to be brought back down to earth. Quote
Big T Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Let me say that as a Trojan fan I honestly think they deserved to loose. They played soppy at Washington and it carried over this week. However they are still a powerhouse and can beat half the top teams out there, including some so called SEC powers. I not saying that they are a National Championship team, because they lost their top receivers from last. But they are still better than alot of the pretenders. Big T Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 7, 2007 Super User Posted October 7, 2007 USC has no defense period & Stanford proved it So Big T, I guess the LSU Tiger are pretenders even after getting all 65 AP votes ;D Quote
Big T Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 It is all irrellevant because the powers that control football are too stupid to set up playoff system to settle it on the field. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted October 7, 2007 Super User Posted October 7, 2007 Man, it really is an exciting year of football. I don't have any dogs in the fight but I really love when nothing is certain and anything can happen, it's sooo much more exciting. Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 7, 2007 Super User Posted October 7, 2007 USC doesn't want a playoff system because they would be left out again; this is the start of week 7 and the SEC still has 6 teams in the top 25. The Trojans gave up 24 points, 235 total yards, & 4 interceptions to an unranked 1-3 team; face the facts USC is overrated and has been for years. Yes they have a very talented offense that can put up outstanding numbers but they have no defense. Quote
Troutfisher Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 USC has been overhyped, and yes, there should be a playoff system. If only our opinions mattered ;D Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 7, 2007 Super User Posted October 7, 2007 I'm shocked, yet VERY Happy! Speaking of a playoff system... I don't think playoffs have any relevence in a situation like this. If a team can't beat Standford, why should they even be given a shot at a team like LSU? I think that the regular season, in a way, is a kind of playoff system. Quote
Big T Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I am going to end this from my point because I can see that there is alot of jealous USC haters here but when some of these other teams win the games and Natioanal Championships that USC has over the years then they will be on the same level. Oh yea Catt the last BCS championship that LSU won in 2003 I beliive it was,that year the AP gave its National Championship to the evil empire USC and they were not even in the top two the previous week. Therefore it seems to me that they were a better team then and now, and as far as losing to Stanford goes it is smae the deal as when these lower teams play the greatest basketball team out there the mighty UNC Tarheels ,everyone steps it up a noch because they are playing against the mystique and tradition that Carolina's basketball team or USC's football team brings to the table. Peace Out Big T Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 In 1998 The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a selection system designed to pair the top two teams in college football against each other in the BCS National Championship Game, with the winner crowned the BCS national champion. Every school participating in the BCS signed agreements that the BCS would be the only recognized National Champion eliminating any split championship. On the list of schools participating is the University of Southern California and the signature of their athletic director. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 Is USC one of the best college football universities? -- Yes. Are they OVERRATED this year?---Yes. Therefore it seems to me that they were a better team then and now Note: this is coming from a BIG XII fan. The SEC is a bloodbath. It is by far the best CF conference. Teams like LSU have no "gimme" games once their conference schedule starts. Right now, I don't see USC being better than LSU, Florida,or South Carolina. Quote
