Leinart, Bush and White takes a backseat to no backfield I have ever seen in college football. They also had Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith at WR, who were infinitely better than any WR Auburn had. They had big game experience, a wonderful defensive mind as a HC, and when fully motivated, those USC teams were damn near unbeatable. The 2004 USC team was significantly better than the 2003 USC team that put a monster arse beating on Auburn to open the season in Jordan-Hare.
Wrong again. Creations of the media hype. They couldn't hang talent wise at the highest level. The Auburn WR did.
Keep accepting the perception and ignoring facts.
The 2003 team isn't a reasonable variable because Auburn ran a completely different offense in 2004. Almost 40 spots different than 2003 and Auburn also had a better defense.

So only auburn improved from that 23-0 beat down at home to usc? You mean usc didn't improve at all from the first game of 03, in which leinart made his first college start and bush/white didn't play, to the bcs title game of 04 when they were all seasoned veterans?

Or, you know, it might be entirely possible that I watched both teams and formed my own opinion.
My opinion is that while USC was inconsistent and did play down to inferior teams sometimes, their A game was better than anyone else's that year, and no one did big games better than Pete Carroll's USC teams (except for Vince Young). Also it's easy to forget that the SEC in 2004 was pretty good, but nowhere near what it has been over the last 7-8 years. The Pac 10 had two deserving BCS teams (USC, Cal) while the SEC had only one (Auburn).
