Do you guys ever get tired of all the pro-SEC bias in the polls? Over a third of your conference was overrated in the preaseason poll and now South Carolina who has beaten nobody is ranked. Makes no sense at all.

Why are you always complaining about the SEC? I mean, seriously. This inferiority complex stuff is getting old.
Sorry, USC's SOS is bad. That's just that way it goes.

Dude, you are always touting USC on a pedestal when their SOS is horrible as well.

Do you get tired of the constant love-affair w/ your trojans?
Do you get tired of the annual "USC is the bestest team ever" jibber-jabber from the sports press?
Do you get tired of your trojans being in such a pathetic conference that strength-of-schedule inadequacies take a one-loss USC team out of contention for the title game?

Hey why don't you go put on a trojan and go frick YOURSELF. If the polls are that bias why in the frick are you on a sec teams board spouting your dumb fricking shite.

Not really. The real experts in Vegas have USC as the best team in the country, but the media has us outside the top-5.

Based on what? What would make you put USC over Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Florida, or Alabama?

Where are USC's quality wins against multiple top 20 teams? The one win is against OSU who has beaten no one all year?

That is expert opinion from Vegas oddsmakers. You know the guys wo have to back their opinions with millions of dollars. Not some AP hack who doesn't know shite about the game, or some coach that does not even watch any other games.

I can only assume you agree with this, so I ask the same question: what makes you think you're better than Texas, Tech, Alabama, Oklahoma, or Florida?

The BCS poll should not be and is not a power ranking. I do agree that professional handicappers are the correct people to assess who the "best" team is.

You have no concrete evidence that USC is better than any of the top 5 teams in the nation, also i would put money that USC would lose to LSU, Bama, UF and UGA, as well as 3-4 Big 12 teams, and Penn St.

You would lose a lot of money in that case, seriously you are an idiot, so I doubt you would have much money to lose in the first place.

First off lets throw Alabama out, they would not stand a chance.
Texas Tech, OU, Texas. None of those teams has a defense to slow USC down. Certainly they have potent passing offenses, but USC has the #1 overall pass defense, total defense, scoring defense, and pass efficiency defense. They would be lucky to score more than 21 vs USC and I do not think they could hold USC under that.
Florida. Florida has a more balanced offense with the option game, and a better defense than the above 3. I think USC would win because we are more physical than Florida. It would be a tough game, but the Florida playmakers would get beat on like they never had. We would be able to pressure Tebow which is key to stopping Florida.

A defense to slow USC down? USC's offense isn't that great. They are alright, but not great. They have really amassed great stats over some horrible teams and its inflating the USC offensive stats.
