re: USC jumps LSU in the AP poll

Nah, Tennessee losing big to USCe is killing LSU.

No that helps LSU, IF LSU happens to beat UGA and is 11-2 SEC Champs, there is no comparison against a 10-2 TENN team. The problem for LSU would have been if LSU beats UGA and is 11-2 SEC champs and TENN was sitting there at 11-1.

If LSU is, big if, SEC champs sitting at 11-2, then the comparisons are going to be against TCU, USC and yes Clemson. I think an 11-2 SEC champ LSU > Clemson at 12-1 ACC champ, if TCU is 13-0 BIG12, they are in, if USC is 12-1 PAC12 Champ, I think USC gets in over LSU.

I don't think most of the younger folks on this board realizes how big a brand USC is. They have been a brand since the 1920's.
