2012 USCe was a very good team, but let's get a reality check. 2012 A&M lost two very close games to LSU and Florida, two teams that in a normal year would be in BCS games. They beat Alabama IN Tuscaloosa and crushed a good Oklahoma team in the bowl game.

USCe did crush UGA, but they weren't that close in either of their losses and they squeaked out a win by the seat of their pants against Michigan in the bowl game. These two teams weren't the same.

And 2011 LSU dwarfs all. They had a better resume going into the BCS title game than most national champions in other years.

Alright, we've heard that South Carolina had the flu the week that they played Florida. Also, while Florida did blowout South Carolina, it's a stretch to say that South Carolina was dominated.

Now, I watch the big games when I can and do a lot of reading online to gain a perspective on things I may have missed or just didn't know. I want to know why no one has mentioned South Carolina's struggle versus Tennessee. I know Marcus Lattimore went down and that Clowney was playing off of one foot; however, Richardson held his own against Clowney until that one play that cost Tennessee the game. South Carolina couldn't hang with Bobby Petrino's passing attack and they struggled against Tennessee's. South Carolina still has the one WTF game each year and struggles against the run. I may be wrong, but they also seem to have a problem against team's with a good offensive line and passing attack.
South Carolina is not elite, and they aren't ready. While they could have held their own and beaten Notre Dame, that wouldn't have made them the best team in the country. Keep in mind that my post takes into account things that I've read and/or seen.
