The 'national champion' can't be considered legit (again) this season without a victory against USC ... or victory in a playoff in which USC competed.



USC is simply WAY too good to ignore.





I feel bad for the UF (or OU) kids. They deserved better...

I'm not arguing about Florida.

What I am saying is, if you lose a game, any game, against any opponent, you leave it up to the polls and computers. It is the current system that they are playing under.

Plain and simple. Win 'em all. It's not about OSU or UM.

In the last 3 years the big 10 champion has been pummeled equally by 2 sec schools and now USC

The rose bowl was over by halftime , just like the last 2 bcs games.

For anyone to think that USC is not in the same class as any of the top SEC schools or top big 12 schools they are just kidding themselves

They could beat any of the teams that are left playing including Florida and Oklahoma
You don't think that playing at home helped?

fair eneough , but don't forget a 2 loss team got to play a home game for the bcs title last year - and don't tell me about the ot stories that was a great sell by the tigers last year

there was a team from the big 12 that had only 1 loss and could have gone over LSU

Sorry, SO....the rightful teams are in the title game. This is the system we have , and the Trojans shot themselves at Beavers Stadium. The Trojans are really playing well now..hopefully this will motivate them to NOT play down to the competition. But it would've been a great game either way.

all OSU does every year is win bowl games
the bcs computers don't kick in for several weeks, and the rankings are based on the year; ole miss in total actually turned out to be a good team this year.
i hadn't been back here since before the ole miss/tt game, which only served to reinforce why fla got in.
i really expected texas tech to win...ooops.

But how can anyone say Ol Miss is better than Oregon State? Oregon State has already won its bowl game (granted maybe the most boring bowl game ever played) and OSU had a terrific season, just as good as Ol Miss.

I dont think anyone can say Ol' Miss is better than OSU.
i think after todays bowl, you can say ole miss is better than osu.

lol yeah, i'm sure that oklahoma or florida will lose sleep over their tainted title. maybe one of these years, usc will live up to the hype and actually make it back to the title game. instead of losing once again to osu or stanford and costing us all the chance to see true greatness in action.

alot of the Ole Miss points were due to turnovers. lots of short fields for Ole Miss. Rebel defense played good (figured out that single bump and run coverage and blitz the rest of the defense would throw off their timing routes.... great game scouting and coaching by Nutt).

This keeps up and you can sign me up for one of those Utah National Champions T-shirts. I'll even wear it to Gulfstream on Donn weekend.
