General13,
Most teams lose at least one game a year. Concerning your example: Did you actually watch the USC vs. Stanford game? Or were you, like most of the cfb world, just happy to see them lose so that you could discount them as contenders? The media is actually biased against USC.
I agree about the Rose Bowl tie-in bullsquash. That is hardly USC's fault.
Tom288,
I am always curious to see what LSU and UF fans have to say about USC. Your argument makes sense on the outside. Cut it open to see the problems. What you are saying is that USC is better than LSU or Florida, but the SEC teams have more hardware. Well, USC would have more hardware if they would be given benefit of the doubt, as UF and LSU were. So a computer spit out a number for LSU/UF that was higher than USC? Who uses computers? If we know one team is better than the other, why are diddling around with a computer? Look at USC's bowl record (and scores). When was the last time they lost? Against a great UT team led by Vince Young in one of the "greatest cfb games of all time" by a slight margin? When was the last time UF lost? Against an okay Michigan squad by a serious margin.
UF needs to stop losing to mediocre Big10 teams...remember Iowa? That is, if you want to talk about your superiority to USC.
You are confusing success with greatness.

I have spent copious amounts of time on the West coast. I saw the game. USC played flat and sloppy all night. Just like every other team that is upset by an underdog.
I'm not saying USC is not a premier program. It is. I just wish we could have some type of playoff to prove-disprove theories on conferences.

We beat Iowa in our Bowl game, apparently you don't remember. I never once said USC was better than UF or LSU. My point was everyone can say they're this great team/dynasty and I'll keep our trophies. Also, you cannot say USC would have more hardware if they were in the title games. I have 2 issues with that:
1. Great teams make the game. And before you bring up UF losing a game, our strength of schedule is much higher than USC's. If they want to be able to slip up in a game then they need to play tougher teams, outside of the occasional OOC game.
2. Even if USC made the games, you don't know that they would have won. They were supposed to beat Texas, we saw how that worked out.
I think it's funny that you distinguish between greatness and success. You can't have greatness without success.
And we lost to Michigan by 6 points, you consider that a serious margin? Do you even check your facts before you post?
