re: 2004 USC vs 2012 Bama

They almost lost but they didnt, that was a 11-2 rose bowl champ Stanford team. But they shouldn't have been played so close by a 6-7 Pitt team. And actually, more often than not, the smarter team wins. Having talent helps, but there have been plenty of situations over the years where the more talented team gets out coached and outplayed. Great example-New England patriots. So saying 01 Miami is the greatest ever (because of their level of talent) is lame
