I do agree Ohio St is a good team. I also believe that at the point in the year they played Ohio St didn't have it all together, I believe in a rematch Ohio St would win vs USC. I also believe Ohio St could take ok st and Tech. As I also believe that USC could take Tech or OK st. However, USC could not hang with Texas, OU, or Florida. USC just doesn't have it firing on offense this year, I do give them props on the defense.
Hyped means described in unrealistic terms that tend to overemphasize something really great. In USC's case, the media thinks so but that isn't what makes them great. USC is great because they have continued to be the dominating team no matter who or where they play them. That's on the record and that is not "hype."
Remember Auburn when they were good? USC beat them at home at @ Auburn both. They beat Notre Dame (when they were good) year after year. They beat VT (when they were good), BYU, Michigan (#4), Colorado (ranked), Nebraska twice, Iowa (#3), Oklahoma (killed them in the NC), Arkansas twice (2 embarassments) and Ohio St. (limited them to a FG), only (#1 ranked) Ohio St. and BYU in LA only, all the rest on a neutral field or on the road at their house (Ohio St. next year.)
Name ANY team that has EVER accomplished even just a winning record vs that many ranked teams on ANY field over the last 7 years. But USC didn't lose a single game to any of them.
Oh and by the way, the year they lost to Texas in the NC game, they played the entire year with 7 first string defensive starters hurt in fall camp and yet they got to the NC game anyway.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Can't you see from their riduculous abundance of wins vs ranked teams over recent years why they are so loved by the media? Damn, some of you redefine the word "stupid."

Take my word for it as a Sooners fan, I can't stand USC. But ya'll better hope we don't go to a playoff system anytme soon or this team is going to Crack some Nutts every year, and your going to get tired of seeing the #1 in front of their name when all is said and done. Face it, this team has more talent and depth to be able to go through an 8 or 12 team playoff like a knife through butter, than any team in the country. I don't think this string will last forever. But right now you don't want to fuck with this team in a playoff round robin.. As much as I hate the BCS, I would almost like to keep things the way they are now until USC comes back down to earth with their talent advantage. Just let them lose their token annual game in the Pac-1 every year, and keep them in the Rose Bowl away from the BCS title game, and I'll be a happy camper.
Like I said, they have the best team ON PAPER, but the game isn't played on paper. I'm saying they are the 7th best team THIS YEAR. I'm sure they had been the best team in the last 8 years or so, but not THIS YEAR.
Playing when it feels like is not an excuse for them losing. How can a team that doesn't feel like playing all their games be so good? Do they think just because they're USC, they should just show up and play in the NC game? They don't deserve to be number one or number six THIS YEAR.
I live in SoCal, all they talk about here is USC (with no pro team). I have no choice but to listen to USC stuff here.
Don't assume just because I don't post often here that I don't watch football or don't make money on football.
Absolutely spot on here. USC seems to get caught sleepwalking every now and then but when the spotlot is on them, forget about it. They would skullfuck UF, Texas, Ok or anyone else that you put in front of them. Pete Carroll is the best big game coach in college football. Their 3 deep is nothing but 5 star blue chip recruits and that defense is about a sick as any that I can remember. As far as questioning their schedule, that is a joke. How many teams do you think are calling USC asking for a home and home? Ohio St tried it and got sent packing in a 5 touchdown beatdown.
