as a fellow trojan, i applaud the optimism.  however, i don't agree.\n\nfirst of all, michigan will tear up ohio state, so ohio is out.  and if usc wins-out, they will have to win-out HUGE against cal and notre dame.  they can certainly win those games, but i'm not sure if they're gonna blow them out.

for the BCS title, yes - with the exception of michigan i think florida is the only team that could give ohio state a good game\nfor the Rose Bowl, no - the michigan part i agree with, but USC just isnt playing well enough to win against top ranked teams, so id like to see texas or auburn make it\n\nand lets not forget about undefeated rutgers... :)

It's possible, but I don't think it's going to happen.  That being said, I think the USC vs. UCLA game could be a lot closer than people are expecting.  This game holds a lot of meaning for UCLA not just because it's a traditional rivalry but also because of the national championship game implications.  USC is getting much more comfortable with their 3-4 defense they introduced for the first time this year (as opposed to the 4-3 defense of years past) and their offense isn't doing too bad either.

I think there just pissed off because they had there chances to beat OSU and when USC leaped froogged over them, well that was the icing on the cake, lol. How about that personal foul on the OSU QB in the fourth quater when it was third and fifteen? OUCCCCCCCH.

It is looking more and more like Sanchez might be the qb out of spring.  Booty is hurt right now and Sanchez is getting all the reps as a Freshman (he redshirted and was the California Parade All American out of high school).  USC will start the season in the top 5 regardless of who they have lost.  The fact is they are USC and that name alone gets them the ranking.  I would say 1 or 2 losses tops because their schedule caters to them well, but overall i would not be surprised if Sanchez and company whoop up on everyone.  After all if they play MCCoy and Ausberry instead of redshirting them, well they are both 6'4 and one is a receiver, the other a TE.  USC will be on fire once again this season and i am a Fresno State fan admitting this.

Hate to be wishy washy, but it seems to me that they are on the bubble right now. Yes, they have some impressive wins lately. On the other hand, they have a chance to be eliminated early in the conference tournament, which would hurt them quite a bit. \n\nOverall, I think your Orangemen have a better chance than my Hoosiers! LOL

Yes, I hate to be cynical, but it's about the money.  Joe Pa spoke out strongly about this a few days ago.  We need to stop focusing on the money and the profits, and find a system that is fair.\n   It may not be possible to determine the "national champion" since the conferences vary so much---some are "semi-pro" and don't bother with the "scholar" in "scholar-athletes" as much as others do.\n   This year, the Big Ten, known for outstanding athletics AND academics, has the two best teams in the nation.

There is no reason USC is overrated, the last four years they have only lost like 43 games, Texas in the Rose Bowl, Oregon State by 2, and Cal in 2OT. The media doesn't like USC and they don't understand the strength of the Pac 10. Some people say their schedule is weak, but come on, Oregon, Cal, Notre Dame, UCLA, Arkansas, Nebraska. I think Ohio State is scared to play USC. I also think many people are east coast bias

He does have a case - they have the same record as USC and Michigan, plus play in a good conference.  Shouldn't they have the same chance as them to play for the title.  Just another reason the BCS sucks and they need to go to a playoff system.

Good u should be!...No just kidding I feel very bad for you but you can see the majority of USC's defeat on every sport show on TV, i.e.Sportscenter, and your local news should have a sports segment also. Or theres always ordering the game by tape or CD online, or Bearshare...

that's some pretty lame logic there.  earning a berth to play in the rose bowl is great, but why stop there?  just because they've locked that up, why would ANY team let up in their remaining schedule?\n\nsince arkansas is in the SEC championship game, do you want them to lose to LSU?\n\nsince florida is in the SEC championship game, do you want them to lose to florida state?\n\ni think the trojans have accomplished a lot during the last few years.  if they win-out, which they will certainly do, and play ohio state...GREAT!  but if ohio state beats USC, also great.  USC will continue to be a great program for years to come.\n\njust enjoy it like the rest of us...

Indeed they are, but they have a weak strength of schedule, the havent played enough good teams to get them the love. If they beat West Virginia they may get in.

I was there, on the field at the ROSE BOWL. And I was sick to my stomach.  I am a HUGE USC fan.  And I will tell you WHY Texas won that night. They wanted it much much more than USC did. Period.  They never gave up, they were down (12 points if my memory is correct) with about 5 min to go.  Not even the Texas FANS gave up! Why did Reggie pitch the ball? Why did Pete Carroll call that time out after the TD. Why?  I was sick to my stomach...history was in the making one moment then poof! It was gone.  And all the while the stupid (sorry Texans) Texas fight was playing over and over.  I was sick to my stomach!

If they beat UCLA to close out the season, they will be in the national title game I'm guessing. They play the game on the road, so it might not be an easy place to win, given the fact that it is hostile territory, and a rivalry game. USC has hope that Washington State beat them on their home turf, and USC is a much better team than the Cougars are this season. The person who below me who said it should have been Auburn should know Auburn has two losses. One was to an Arkansas team that got beat by USC handily, while the other loss was to Georgia, who lost to Vanderbilt and Kentucky during the regular season. That's\nall needs to be said about why Auburn doesn't deserve to go to\nthe national championship game, or any BCS game.
