Watch the 2003 Rose Bowl
USC/ Michigan
Michigan went into that game with a high powered offense and was completely embarrassed.
LSU benefited from the BCS. I think SC/LSU would have been a much better game.
Not saying LSU wouldn't have won but USC was clearly the best team after the bowls had finished.
Wrong.
1) LSU had the best coach in CFB history (Nick Saban). Time has more or less made that point apparent for us, although it is unfortunate he didn't stick around Baton Rouge.
2) LSU was BY FAR the most talented team in the country that year. USC's talent was very overrated, while LSU's talent was very underrated.
USC guys like Matt Leinart, Big Mike Williams, and Lendale White all had short-lived NFL careers because they were mediocre players.
Meanwhile, LSU guys like Michael Clayton, Devery Henderson, Andrew Whitworth, Rudy Niswanger, and Stephen Peterman went on to much longer and more successful careers. Hell we had guys like Dwayne Bowe and Joseph Addai ON THE BENCH.
And that's just offense ... the real difference in talent comes on the defense, where LSU had a significant talent advantage. Corey Webster, Laron Landry, Kyle Williams, Marquis Hill ... these guys were FAR SUPERIOR to USC's offensive players.

Pete Carroll for his short time in college football outperformed Nick Saban.
You may agree or disagree but saying that Saban at that time was better than Carroll would have been a stretch.
USC beat a better OU team the next year.
USC a year younger was still better than an OU team a year younger by 30+ points
