What have they walked away with in that time frame that means anything?


They've been consistently ranked in the top 3 over that time span in just about every poll. What about SC?

Some Pac 12 championships?


Uhhh..yeah? How many SEC championships does SC have? How many east titles do they have in the time frame you referenced? Zero to both.

quote:

USCe could have walked away with a few Pac 12 championships in that time frame.


This is a ridiculously silly argument that isn't based in reality.

quote:

The past 4 years for USCe is 9-5, 11-2, 11-2 an 11-2. That is pretty fricking elite if you ask me


So the TCU, Boise, and Hawaiis of the past decade were elite too. Since according to you, ALL it takes is to win games. Titles and all other major accomplishments be damned!

Honestly I would say Mizzou is closer to an elite program then USC. In the last ten years we've been to three conference championship games, our problem right now is we are 0-3 in those games. If Mizzou was 2-1 instead of 0-3 in those games we would be talking about two National Title games. USC cant claim they've ever been within a count hair of a National Title Game.

I just want to reiterate that I dont think either team is elite, just that Mizzou is closer to achieving it.

2013 Pinkel 12-2 7-1 1st (East)W Cotton

If Mizzou can win an SEC Championship in the next five years while maintaining atleast 8 win season I think we would be close. A true elite team is always there, so it migt take two.
