Has USCe ever finished a season ranked higher than preseason rankings? Honest question because they always seem to be ranked high but never much talk come BCS time.

Try the past 2 seasons. Finished top 10 both times. Never get in the BCS because of the depth of the SEC.

Now I know. Can't blame it on depth though. It's the SEC East.

Some people think Les Miles is on par with Saban too and some people still believe in Santa Claus, but that don't make it so...

So? The BCS doesn't select based on divisions, it picks on conference. So yes, when the BCS chooses 'Bama and LSU and Auburn and Arkansas in seasons in which SC won the East and won 11 games depth matters.

Then don't beat Bama and get demolished by Arkansas. That was an easy call that season.

You're still missing the part about depth of the SEC. For example we beat the hell out of Clemson when they went to the Orange Bowl. I think its not a reach to say that we've had some teams that could've reached the BCS easily if in the ACC or another conference.

We've actually beaten a BCS bowl team at least once, each of the past three or four seasons, have we not?

Not counting on it, but think it's possible.
One of these days we are going to put it together.

Our best players (except Swanson) are youngsters, looking forward to seeing them the next couple of years.
