Can any of you help me with the polls? Why the hell is USC still number one when they have only played a number 14 team, played only three games and have allowed 55 points scored against them?
LSU has played a number 7 and number 12 team, played 4 games and have only allowed 23 points scored against them!
GEAUX TIGERS!

I am guessing you will find out in January.....:D Not a big SC fan but they are so fast and talented and seem to be able to turn it on when needed. I wouldn't bet against them...I'm afraid that linebacking group will do some damage to that 5'6" running back....:eek: :eek: :) and yes, they will catch him...

Maybe because the voters are thinking LSU's coach was wrong with his USC having an easier road comments earlier this summer...
Heading into this weekend the Pac10 has 4 undefeated teams and I think the voters, for at least this season, are giving the division the ranking they deserve...
In addition, those points against were mainly against 2nd and 3rd string teams after the game was decided.

Touger division? USC plays about 4 good teams a year........SEC can you say Florida? Tennessee? Alabama? Arkansas? Auburn? Georgia? Kentucky? There are 6 SEC teams in the top 25, what other conference has that many? Plus the play in the SEC championship, so what conference has the toughest schedule?

You sound like your living in the past....maybe go and check Tenn, Ark and Auburn's record....Tenn's has been walloped good.....and even Florida had a scare last week from a nobody 1-3...and that's why they got jumped in the standings.....One thing about either conference is once you are into the schedule its tough to make it out without 1 or 2 losses so hopefully the conference strength of either will help the rankings of those teams that win their conference. :)

There needs to be more pac10 vs SEC games each year for this discussion to really mean anything. I think the last 10 years the pac-10 is 8-7 against the SEC. There are up and down years for each conference. Its pretty much a toss-up....until more games are scheduled. If you like the SEC you'll be biased towards them..if you like the pac-10 the same. Im a pac-10 fan(UCLA fan)and I think this year is a strong year for the whole conference.

They only play 3 quarters for godsakes. The second string is in there when the teams score all of the points. LSU stays in the whole time and racks up points because they don't want Florida to overtake them. USC doesn't have to worry. Do you really think VT should be ranked btw? Not a chance, watch their games. They look horrible. Don't worry, i'm sure we will see who is better at the end of the season.

Thats one reason I can't get to into college football, it is an opinion system and there is bias by the people who vote. I still enjoy going to the games though as they are free and and so is the food and drinks.:D

The only reason LSU had a share of the title was because the coaches had to vote for them because of the BCS contract. That cannot happen again.

Yep,
you are right that they beat Auburn. But, the facts are the SEC is faster and stronger. Anyone who watches football can make that observation without much of dispute. You are one of the few that thinks, or wants to think otherwise. Plus, the share of the title doesnt mean a thing as the LSU tigers won the BCS title game. The facts are that USC won one title recently, not two. Where were you and the bandwagon in the 90's? I would assume you were either on the UCLA bandwagon or hiding under a rock with the other SC fans.

Finally, a man who knows wtf he's talking about. Pete Carroll has always had to much class to rub another teams nose into the ground. Not many SC fans like that, but he doesn't have to answer to us. As for the sharing BCS title comment, we won't be sharing it this year! GO TROJANS!

Funny you want to talk facts. USC 5 straight BCS bowls 4-1 record. USC 4 straight top 4 finishes. SC owns the SEC under Pete Caroll, 2-0 vs Auburn including 23-0 @ Auburn, 2-0 vs Arkansas hanging 70 and 50 on the hogs. Put away your Kool Aid and study the FACTS. Here's some interesting stuff I found on a college football site.
USC's record over the last five years is 59-6 including an out of conference (OOC) record against BCS teams of 16-2. LSU has gone 52-13 (7-3 OOC BCS), Auburn 50-14 (6-5 OOC BCS including two losses to USC) and Florida 45-18 (5-7 OOC BCS). How can we fairly compare the strength of a conference when they rarely play anyone from outside their conference affiliations and when they do, they post mediocre results at best. I guess I have been brainwashed to believe the SEC is a far superior conference and maybe from top-to-bottom it is, but how do we know for sure when it seems that all they are doing is padding their records with patsies OOC and playing competitive games in conference. Another interesting fact concerning USC and its scheduling: In the past five years, USC's winning percentage in conference is virtually the same as it is against OOC BCS teams (37-4 vs. 16-2). Would USC's record be as good if it was in the SEC, we can never know for sure, but my guess here is yes because it would be forced to dumb down their OOC schedules like the rest of the conference (no more home and homes with Nebraska, Ohio State and Notre Dame) and focus on the big conference games instead. Pete Carroll's record in big games at USC is pretty strong.

I've been an SC fan since Anthony Davis. You probably do not know who he his. Yes we had about 10 bad years but I was loyal.
We are sticking our chests out now. I hope LSU hangs because we will do to them what we did to Oklahoma a few years ago.

You will never know because you dont have Florida, LSU, Tenn, South Carolina, Auburn, Bama, Arkansas, Georgia in your conference. Funny how you dont think the SEC is the strongest yet most, if not all experts do. Maybe I read and listen to others that you have never heard of. I tend to agree with the experts though and think the SEC is the best and the PAC 10 is second.

The problem with the PAC 10 and USC's schedule they don't play big physical team's everyweek, that wears on teams and there are lot's of injuries. Most Pac 10 teams tend to be faster and smaller. Also, any team in the SEC has the potential to upset on any good day, look at Ole Miss last week they almost pulled the upset........There is a reason Florida State did not go to the SEC back in the hayday and went to the ACC.......Can you say Scared?:)

I am not saying that in the least here. But, associating yourselves with any team and calling it "my" team is completely random and makes little sense. Auburn a cellar dwellar? You wish. Auburn (and other teams) have been playing ball for more years than "your" school has been in existance. I only hope you could make it down to the south for a game or two to see what tradition and honor means. I cant explain it to you because you just dont have it here on the west coast. Trust me, I am a big west coast supporter, but you all are blinded by the shadow of the bandwagon. :D

Actually I do root for UCLA except when they play SC...and had to root for SC when they suxd for so many years.......I also like to see Fresno State do well.....I always like to root for the local talent.
More ironic as since we have been jabbing at each other for the last several years I try and root for Auburn when I get them see them play....got Direct Gameplan just so I could see more east coast games as I have not had the chance to see any in person......That whole Tenn vibe where you get to boat in and see the game and boat out just seems like something the folks on this forum would really be into.

Since moving to AZ I am starting to root for AZ teams....so call me a bandwagonner cause I try and support the local teams....I will continue to root for the teams I always have...SC, and the Lakers...(unless they don't get their $hit together then I am off that wagon)...but I have been trying on some cool SUNS hats lately! :)

Fairly accurate but not exactly correctly. Alabama Polytechnical Institute was first established to provide school to the families of the civil war soldiers back in the mid 1800's. Then the name was change to Auburn University. Thus, sports began then too for the school and its affiliates.

I agree. The bantering is awesome. SWBob and I go back and forth to no end. I love this crap with all of you except when some people (not you) get butt hurt and start calling the school 'my' school. The only real thing that gets me going is how some say "we" kicked the shit out of you. WTF? Who is we? I went to Auburn and still dont say we like I had anything to do with it.

I actually looked at the polls last week and saw USC was #1 so I decided that was my new team.:idea: I actually have been a fan for a long time. I just don't express it loudly anymore, everytime you say you are a USC fan someone like yourself who is a fan of another school, who can't get it together, seems to think USC fans are only bandwagon fans. USC couldn't possibly have some true fans:rolleyes:
Why are you always hung up on the S.E.C.? Is that what a fan does when they're team is average at best, they become a fan of the conference? It's sad when you have to justify why your team is so mediocre by telling everyone how good the conference is.

I tend to agree with the experts though and think the SEC is the best and the PAC 10 is second.
I also agree that the SEC is the top conf, however it's not as far ahead as you think. The bottom line that none of the SEC lovers can dispute is that USC has whooped SEC a$$ head to head. All you SEC guys say is we lost because we beat each other up during the season, but when SC hung a doughnut on AU it was the first game of the season. Every time the SEC had the chance to prove it against the Trojans they've been SPANKED! I bet if the SEC was 4-0 against SC we'd never hear the end of it.

Can any team from the SEC match these numbers? Maybe all of them combined? Your fans are the most devoted, I'll give you that. The SEC homers are so busy drinking their own Kool Aid they can't see anything objectively. These passionate arguments are why I love college football though!!!:)
BTW SEC homers, the state of CA has the most players in the NFL followed by FL and TX.:cool:

I agree that is a big part, but NY is also... I was just establishing the fact that for all of the perception that the PAC 10 and west coast football is soft many of the other conferences come out here and raid the talent pool. The number of guys on the NFL shows how much legit talent is on the west coast.

Pull up the NFL players by conference. I would interested to see where they stack up. I would think the Big 10, Big 12, SEC and Pac 10 are fairly tightly grouped.

Why are you always hung up on the S.E.C.? Is that what a fan does when they're team is average at best, they become a fan of the conference? It's sad when you have to justify why your team is so mediocre by telling everyone how good the conference is.
I am not justifying crap. AU is middle of the road this year. But, the SEC is still the toughest top to bottom according to the experts. I dont have to justify a thing. I went to both AU and UNLV. Trust me, I know what bad football is all about. ;) But, I have been to many USC games and the atmosphere is lacking in terms of tradition and heritage. Just my opinion. Nothing like a southern football game.

You rang? Sorry, been busy finishing up things here at work before my 10am flight to Seattle tomorrow. Yes, SC plays UW this weekend. How many away games are you going to make to Auburn this year? :D Has Auburn even played an away game this year? Damn! :confused:
I didn't get suckered into this thread because anybody who knows anything about SC football knows Pete doesn't go for the style points. Hell I don't even bet the spread because they seldom cover. Pete's philosophy of playing young guys helps nuture them in the future (it also gives up points in the 4th quarter). That's why you don't see a huge drop off in position from year to year. Like the cliche, SC doesn't re-build, they reload.

It's not that they lack tradition or heirtage. That, we have plenty of. What you do have are a bunch of old farts sitting in the donor section (goal line to goal line) who yell "down in front" or tell you to stop screaming on 3rd down when we are on defense. WTF! I wish these old farts would scream at the tops of their lungs like the rest of us (season ticket holders) in the end zones and student sections. I'm sure there are plenty of rabid fans between the goal lines but not nearly as many who sit on their hands and text on their Blackberries during the game.

What irkes me about USC fans(most of them) is that they pretend "their" team has always been at the top. I played for Oregon during the 90's. We were a very mediocre team back then but one thing I do remember was the totally empty, piece of crap, coliseum that we went to every other year or so. Back then the Huskies used to kick the crap out of USC( remember those days guys). In the late 90's and up to the Pete Carrol era Oregon used to have their way with them(how 'bout those days guys). It's laughable now that USC is back at the top and all of the hollywood idiots are on the sideline and the stadium's full:idea: Try playing a game down in the south and you'll find out what real college football fans are all about(ie. Auburn, Bama, etc.) Now that I have said my peace I think the PAC 10 is the toughest conference this year and hopefully my Ducks kick the $hit out of Cal this weekend.

What a dream. You can't run on USC and LSU cannot pass the ball well enough to win. You force teams with a very simple passing game into an offense they're not comfortable playing. The reason Pac-10 teams play USC tough is because they almost all run pro style offenses with QBs that will be playing on Sunday in a couple years. The only abhorration to this scenario was Texas, whose QB was the most athletic player on the field. You can't game plan for a Vince Young. Even so, they came within a few ticks of beating a player who played the game of his life and one of the best individual games I've ever seen.
In any case, I hope LSU and USC run the table, so they can settle it on the field, once and for all.
Your comment about PAC 10 offenses and quarterbacks is dead on....

Were you around during the Marshall Faulk years? I was. The house was rocking every home game. Maybe if SDSU put a decent product on the field, people would go. I took my kids to a game last year. I will not be back anytime soon because I felt the value was not there. And, I got the tickets for free.
No that was before my time (1999-2005), my dad took me & my brothers to a game in 1992/93, oddly enought they played USC, and it was pretty cool for what I remember.
They got rid of Tom Craft finally, and Im hoping Chuck Long turns the program around. They are 1-2 w/ 9 to go.
The Value definitely isn’t there, when I started student tickets were $5 and they couldn’t get student to attend games. A few years students got FREE tickets, and most students still didn’t go. They spent $30-sum million to build a Trolley station @ SDSU, which the 3rd stop (heading west) is, Qualcomm, and students still don’t go.
Being in a fraternity and liking to tail gate pre-game I got to know a lot of alumni, who’d tell stories about the old days of football in Aztec Bowl, where Cox Arena now stands. I went to a couple games a year, but the majority of the time I had slightly better things to-do. Those who went to the game wouldn’t want to do anything that night, not because they were drunk, but because they lost.
San Diego State is my Team, because that is where I went to school, but I will always be a loyal fan of The University of Southern California, Trojan Football.

The statement, as presented, was that there are more players from CA in the NFL than any other state. Your statement, while factual, has nothing to do with my post. Think of this way, if you were to pick 1500 tax returns, randomly, down at IRS headquarters, the majority would be from CA. That's just simple statistics. 1500 is about how many active NFL players there are at any one time. It's more than an adequate sample size to have a normal population distribution.

No, I mean 3.:rolleyes: It's not SC's fault they were #1 in both polls but did not play in the BCS title game because a glitch in the BCS system. The fact they modified the BCS to give more weight to the human polls to prevent it from happening again was an admission of guilt. The writers simply corrected the mistake by giving USC it's due (not to mention the AP told the BCS to stop using it's poll). Keep in mind USC was shut out of the game and OU got in even though they didn't even win the Big 12 that year. How the fock do you lose your conference and still play in a nat. title game? You should be mad at the BCS for preventing USC and LSU from meeting. Let's face it the BCS is a joke, but we are not close to getting a playoff. I think a +1 format would solve most of the problem. That would've let USC play LSU in 03-04, AU play USC in 04-05, and either Boise or LSU play Florida last year. Not perfect but at least it's a 4 team playoff.

That chart above is not by PAC-10 teams in the NFL, it's by PAC-10 and SEC STATES. So, if you lived in Florida, but went to Ohio State, it's an SEC state. If you lived in CA, but went to Arkansas, it's a PAC-10 state.
It's still pretty impressive, but not nearly as much as when I thought that the SEC states only had like 25 million people combined. Those nine SEC states (GA, MS, LA, FL, SC, TN, KY, AR, AL) have a combined population of ~62 million, per the 2006 Census, as opposed to the PAC-10 states (CA, AZ, WA, OR) with ~52 million.

I think because of how the upper deck at Husky Stadium is stacked directly above the lower level (on both sidelines), the sound is amplified even more. Might have to go to Oregon and/or CAL games. Problem is ex-SC baseball coach Rod Deadeux was my ticket hook-up before he passed away last year.
Oregon fans are pretty loud too. But what else is there to do in Eugene, Oregon on a Saturday afternoon in the fall?

True dat. They have been doing great things for years Dan, but you cant see through your maroon and gold glasses. ;) Under Tubby, they are 5-0 against top 5 teams. Yep, 5-0. Plus, they one of the best records in the past few seasons along with SC, LSU and Texas. Funny huh? That is tough to do in the SEC.
SC will win Dan, they usually do. That is what good teams do. They win when they have to no matter how good they play.
Too bad they are 0-1 as number one. Remember Matt Leinart's 1st game. 22 zip with USC on top. Go Tubby.

I too do not disagree with SC dropping to #2 after their performance or lack there of on Sat. If they even think about playing like that again at Cal or Autzen there will be two losses, hell if they play like that at ASU there could be three losses.

It will most definitely look better for you SC fans to beat on my Ducks if they are in the top 10. However, this Oregon team reminds me of the '01 team. SC better play better in Eugene than they did in Seattle or it's lights out. SC will whip Cal. Longshore is as about as mobile as Dan Marino(1995) and SC will put up a much better pass rush than my Ducks could. The SC/Oregon game will be much better in my opinion.

Cal is a good, good football team. They are very fast and they will give USC all they can handle. They will play USC tougher than LSU will/would.

THOR
10-02-2007, 09:28 AM
You can disagree all you want. They are as talented and faster than LSU. They are not as good defensively, but then again they didn't return their entire defense. It wouldn't matter, that offense would run wild, just like they did against Tenn. It looked like a track meet with only one team playing. They are the fastest team in college football.
A 1-1 record against a mediocre SEC team is great for a Pac 10 team. You should be happy as hell.
I will disagree all day with you. I have seen many PAC 10 and SEC games and the SEC is way faster. Those are the facts. Just what I have seen, but what do I know, I only saw them in person.

This is the same talk I heard when all the SC hopefuls were saying how bad the Big12 and Texas were. Remember? Texas just isnt as fast as SC. How did that turn out for you?

Do you forget about Sam Baker and Sedric Ellis who Kirk Herbstriet said was Dorsey's equal on all levels but faster. They were two 1st rounders that returned for their sr season. Not to mention all 3 Linebackers that...acording to many sports analists say could be all americans. in addition to two bluechippers at safety.

The SEC won't schedule anyone. They make run for Tulane, but all they want from the Pac-10 is Oregon State or ASU. I still remember a couple years ago either Oregon or Oregon State missing three extra points to lose by a point and maybe the next year ASU getting two kicks blocked in the last five minutes to lose again. And those Pac-10 teams were nobodies. C'mon, I know you remember what I'm talking about.

What do you think about the the Florida and LSU matchup?....1st for LSU with a #1 ranking since 59...they lost last time too...My guess is Auburn played Florida pretty tough last week and it was still close.....but I am thinking LSU is playing at the level of their opponent these days and ripe for getting upset....
This is a good weekend for football for the SEC...:)

Trust me, Florida is fierce after being beaten, which is not often, but if you look at LSU's last game it was clear they were looking to this week in the first half until they pulled their head out.........#1 defense against Florida who is all Tebow with his run threat......I see a lot of problems for the GATORS!:idea: But I bet this game will be watched by more people than the USC game or any other PAC 10 this weekend......

I would agree with that...as there are no real big Pac 10 games and we are talking about two top 10's....I am thinking Tebo's gonna get beat up trying to run...but if LSU comes like last weekend...might be an upset in the making.

Tebow will get pounded, but Meyer knows that. Watch for them to spread out the offense to neutralize Dorsey and the other horses they have.
Kentucky vs. SC will be awesome on Friday night.

Auburn when the went undefeated were better. Florida was better last year.
Get off Carrols jock as you would put it and grow a set. Quit saying if, if, if. The SEC is the strongest and deepest, period. Enough said. You won one in row. That is a fact.
you cant say others are shitty when you had an outright pathetic decade in the 90's and pretend it didnt happen. So, if you want to be a frontrunner you need to be able to take a little from guys like me regarding your pathetic ass team in the 90's.
SC was beyond pathetic in the 90's but we aren't in the 90's now are we...don't live in the past wishing and hoping for the SEC to dominate again, it simply isn't going to happen. The Pac 10 is just going to get stronger when the Pac 10 has coaches like Carroll, Bellotti, Erickson and Tedford. These guys are building powerhouse programs.

Hey Donzi,
Who gave LSU that #1 ranking? Oh yeah, I forgot, the AP poll. Aren't you contradicting yourself if you don't believe in SC's 2004 AP National Championship yet you come on here and say LSU is currently ranked number #1 by the same poll? I'm just trying to follow your logic. :confused:

donzi5150
10-03-2007, 03:47 PM
Another first for LSU according to ESPN: You guys just let me know when you can make it to Baton rouge and I will hook yall up........PS 4 SEC teams in the top 10!:)
10. Auburn
How crazy does it get here? A friend recently covered a game on Labor Day weekend. Kickoff was 6:30 and he pulled off the highway from Atlanta at 3:30. He saw the roadside crowded with people tailgating and figured he must be near the stadium. He finally arrived at Jordan-Hare … nine miles later. When he asked the parking attendant at the media lot what time the fans started showing up, the man replied, "Seven in the morning … Thursday morning. And they aren't leaving after the game, either.''
9. Colorado
Trying to decide between Ohio State and Colorado, Road Warrior consulted a friend who attended both. He gives Colorado the nod because of the mountain setting, the better weather and the … ummm, overall "Colorado'' experience. For instance, he swears the PA announcer once made this announcement during a game: "A reminder: It ish unlawful to ( hiccup) conshume aloca … er, acolho … umm, alcoholic beverages (hiccup) at Folshom Field."
8. Army
The setting on the Hudson is superb and the atmosphere is special. "They understand it's a game,'' Cahn says of fans at the service academies. "The people realize the young men on the field will fight bigger battles.'' Besides, if you want to tell soldiers with rifles that they don't belong in the top 10, go right ahead.
7. Wisconsin
An exception to the weather rule is Wisconsin, where the fans don't notice the cold because their cheese wedges restrict the flow of oxygen to the brain and, of course, all that beer. If you're going to tailgate, better to pick Wisconsin, a state famous for beer, brats and cheese, than say, South Dakota, a state famous for … well, not being North Dakota. Just be sure to leave enough room for the legendary Fifth Quarter.
6. UCLA
What could be better than tailgating outside the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1? Tailgating there every home game. (By the way, based on the overall UCLA experience – beautiful students, sun, L.A., beautiful students, athletic legacy, oh, and did RW mention beautiful students? – is there any reason why the Bruins do not get every single recruit they want?)
5. Penn State
It's not enough that State College turns into Pennsylvania's third-largest city on game day (and, remember, we're talking a state large enough to have 22 electoral votes). This 100,000-plus JoePa-Looza is so spirited that the school recently had to ban the drinking of alcohol outside the stadium DURING the game. That's right. So many fans come just for the tailgate that officials had to enact a law to deal with them. They don't call it Happy Valley for nothing.
4. Washington
The main tailgate venues are nothing special, but stern-gating is awesome. Sailing up to Husky Stadium while nibbling Dungeness crab or wild salmon and sipping a bottle of Red Hook or a glass of Chateau St. Michelle is college football's finest experience that doesn't include the USC song girls.
3. Tennessee
With boats able to tie up on the nearby Tennessee River, this offers the Washington nautical experience mixed with SEC passion. Plus, there's better barbecue.
2. Ole Miss
What RW loves best about the Mississippi campus is that the speed limit is 18, in recognition of the jersey number worn by Archie Manning. Tailgating in The Grove is an experience so sublime even native son William Faulkner would be at a loss to describe it. Hell, The Grove is so wonderful, Commissioner of Tailgating Cahn even plans to honeymoon there (seriously).
1. LSU
Nobody cooks like the Cajuns. Walking among the tailgaters here is like strolling through one of Emeril Lagasse's restaurants. RW once joined a group serving jambalaya, duck and oyster gumbo, stuffed quail, deer sauce picante, wild duck, cochon deli, Cajun sausage, crawfish etouffee, rabbit, alligator stew and marinated pork tenderloin. And that was for a non-conference game. More important, LSU plays most games at night, which means you have an entire day to soak it in. The only downside is you may not be able to get yourself into the stadium by the time kickoff rolls around.
So there you have it, a fair, balanced and completely impartial list of the best tailgating campuses in America. By the way, Ohio State fans have no doubt noticed their school did not make the list, despite the 100,000-plus passionate faithful surrounding the Horseshoe each game in one of college football's best and most spirited gatherings. That's because Road Warrior's alma mater recently lost to the Buckeyes and hasn't gotten over it, yet.

So many fans come just for the tailgate that officials had to enact a law to deal with them. They don't call it Happy Valley for nothing.
4. Washington
The main tailgate venues are nothing special, but stern-gating is awesome. Sailing up to Husky Stadium while nibbling Dungeness crab or wild salmon and sipping a bottle of Red Hook or a glass of Chateau St. Michelle is college football's finest experience that doesn't include the USC song girls.
3. Tennessee
With boats able to tie up on the nearby Tennessee River, this offers the Washington nautical experience mixed with SEC passion. Plus, there's better barbecue.
2. Ole Miss
What RW loves best about the Mississippi campus is that the speed limit is 18, in recognition of the jersey number worn by Archie Manning. Tailgating in The Grove is an experience so sublime even native son William Faulkner would be at a loss to describe it. Hell, The Grove is so wonderful, Commissioner of Tailgating Cahn even plans to honeymoon there (seriously).
1. LSU
Nobody cooks like the Cajuns. Walking among the tailgaters here is like strolling through one of Emeril Lagasse's restaurants. RW once joined a group serving jambalaya, duck and oyster gumbo, stuffed quail, deer sauce picante, wild duck, cochon deli, Cajun sausage, crawfish etouffee, rabbit, alligator stew and marinated pork tenderloin. And that was for a non-conference game. More important, LSU plays most games at night, which means you have an entire day to soak it in. The only downside is you may not be able to get yourself into the stadium by the time kickoff rolls around.
So there you have it, a fair, balanced and completely impartial list of the best tailgating campuses in America. By the way, Ohio State fans have no doubt noticed their school did not make the list, despite the 100,000-plus passionate faithful surrounding the Horseshoe each game in one of college football's best and most spirited gatherings. That's because Road Warrior's alma mater recently lost to the Buckeyes and hasn't gotten over it, yet.

Another SEC Team??????? What Team in the most recent years has been over hyped? Can everyone agree on USC?;)
Dude are you serious?:rolleyes: In "most recent years" USC has made 5 straight BCS bowls with a 4-1 record and 5 consecutive top 4 or better finishes, an Orange Bowl victory, an AP Nat Champ, a BCS Champ, BCS runner-up, and a Rose Bowl victory. 3 HT winners, undefeated against the SEC, thumped Nebraska twice, pounded Arkansas twice (hung 70 on them), slapped a double nickel on the Sooners, skunked AU, and handled VT. In the 5 "most recent years" SC is 59-6, 10-1 against top 10 teams, and has 5 consecutive 10+ win seasons.
As for the tradition you haters say SC doesn't have: 11 National titles, 7 HT winners, the most NFL draft picks of any school, 45 bowl games-4th all time, 29 bowl wins-2nd all time, 162 NFL Pro Bowl picks, and a Trojan has played in all but 2 Super Bowls.
Only a homer could look at the above facts and deny USC is a modern College Football dynasty. Take nothing away from LSU, AU, and the SEC, but we are witnessing one of the greatest runs in history. Pete Carroll is a recruiting machine, as long as he stays SC will be at or near the top of the heap. USC is "hyped" because unbiased objective analysts can see the facts. Get over it SEC lovers!:jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:

Lets just stick with recent history say 2003 and forward......LSU won the national champiohship, 2004 USC, 2005 Texas, and 2006 Florida.......two SEC teams......and at the end of all four years LSU ended up at the end of the year as 2 or 3.........and now they are #1 so the proof is in what?
Dude see above facts in previous post about recent history. BTW, the average finish for USC in the final AP poll since 2003 was 2, and for LSU it is 5.5. I gave both teams a 1st finish in 03-04 with the split. If you go back to 2002 SC averages 2.4 and since LSU was unranked in 2002 but if you gave them 26th they woould average at 9.6. Before you go off on the what about the BCS final poll rant, the split year 03-04 was the only year I could find that was off from the AP with regard to SC and LSU final rankings. No doubt LSU is a stout program, but SC fans didn't start a thread saying they were overrated.

I did not start the thread saying they were over hyped......I posed a question about what was actual in the rankings as of the last poll.........Later on I made the over hyped statement based on this thread becouse the USC fans defended ther school proudly but refused to acknowledge the strength of the SEC. I on the other hand acknowledged the strength of USC but posed other thoughts, ideas and questions as a friendly jesture back to the USC fans as a single SEC supporter stuck in the middle of California.
But the simple fact remains that we are number one right now and after we shut down Tebow and the Gators we will still be number one and I will still give you SC fans a hard time but if we lose and drop in the poles I am man enough to stick it out and fight with all the SC fans in the college spirit. And when the two teams meet in the Rose Bowl in the next BCS game, God willing, we can all share a beer and tailgate and have a damn good time!:D

I think it's great that college fans are so passoniate about their teams, that's why I like college football more than the NFL. You can make the argument, and I would agree that historically the SEC has been the premier conf. I would also agree that the SEC has the best tradition/passion of any conference as a whole. However, at the present time the PAC 10 is on an even field with the SEC and the SEC fans do not want to admit it. It should've always been the case since we have the atheletes on the west coast to compete with anyone. As for tradition, USC is the one PAC 10 school that can measure up to ANY school. The fact is USC has been the most Dominant program since 2002, the numbers don't lie. LSU, OU, and OSU, have been dominant since 02 as well. With a little luck it can be settled on the field this year. This has been my favorite thread on HB in long time.:)

First of all, I love college football, but the one problem it does have, is not everyone plays head to head, so basically in my opinion you never know who is number 1. To say one conference is better than the other, when they don't play the same teams. I really can't say one is better then the other. On USC being number one at the beginning of the year is just a poll. As you can see they are number two now. In my opinion, I don't think USC will win the national championship again, I said this two years ago when Booty took over. He just doesn't look like a championship quarterback, example, when they were playing Washington last week the team was playing poorly, and Booty was the one who should have stepped up, and he didn't do that. He looks like an all-star one half, and looks terrible the next. He's inconsistant. I know I kinda got off subject, but just my two cents. Again, I'm a big USC fan, but I'm just calling it like I see it.

Absolutely it matters when you play the cream puffs. Since there is no college preason, the beginning of the season is where the majority of the college teams schedule their OOC games. It seems like the SEC prefers to schedule them (cream puffs) towards the end of the season so there is less chance to be upset and ruin their rankings. :boxingguy

I wish Bush could still put up those kind of numbers in the NFL. I guess we will find out this weekend since he's now the featured back for the Saints. Seems like there is some talk out there in the national media stating that he is overhyped. I guess its time to prove them wrong, or right? I know that our offensive line wont help his cause much.

I know, I am still hoping he can put up some good numbers. He needs to improve between the tackles and stop juking so much. I think he can carry more of a load than people think, although he shared time @ SC with LW. The O-line determines the majority of a backs success or failure, unless of course your Barry Sanders.

"Alright Now" (written and recorded) by the English rock band Free in 1968, is the de facto fight song of Stanford. The Official fight song of Stanford is "Come Join The Band."
Come join the band
And give a cheer for Stanford red
Throughout the land
Our banner waving overhead
Stanford for you
Each loyal comrade brave and true
With might and main sings this refrain
"Forever and forever Stanford red."
After the game
When Stanford red has won the day
Praising her name
Down to the field we'll force our way
And on the green
Each man who joins the serpentine
With might and main sings this refrain
"Forever and forever Stanford red."

Maybe if we combine Cal's offense with SC's defense, we can make up a fantasy team and compete with LSU. :D.

(and come on, it's only Stanford :mad:. No problem, game will be over by the first quarter. Right? :mad:).:
Funny. I told my wife that I had to see the start of the game, but that it would probably be over within 15 minute or so. Then, I would go to her firend's birthday. Glad I stuck around for the whole thing.

Yep rough game tonite.
USC self inflicted the loss, Stanford played like shiat until they smelled victory.
The halftime was LOL...it was the best part of the game.
