Why do you think this? Not saying you're wrong, I just don't see what you see.

I'm with you. Too many variables this early in the year for USC to start hoping/pulling for someone ahead of us to lose. The SEC isn't going to get two teams in the playoffs. You'll probably see the B12 Champ, the Pac12 Champ, ACC (if it's FSU), and the SEC Champ. The BIG16 is too weak this year, and Ohio State was its only hope, anyway.

So if USC wants to go, the only scenario is to win the conference. Which is still absolutely possible. Auburn looked very beatable last night, and we know that Ellis Johnson can't stop a competent passing attack.
