Not necessarily VVV, if USC is impressive they should get a Co-Title with the Sugar winner, but if they barely win then they shouldn't as Michigan is stout and explosive yet their W-L column would still leave that win a far 2nd to either an OU with a 2-0 top ten record or an LSU with an 5-1 top 20 mark.
USC winning over Michigan would be their first versus a current top 20 team, and only their 2nd for the year(WSU was in top 20 of their loss to USC).
Michigan and Navarre can certainly do what OSU's 20 Int QB did Saturday(485 YP, including 3 bad calls that cost them another 85 yds).
But agree USC was hosed, and they are as good as anyone on most any Saturday, however USC's O and their D are quite polar opposites..they just haven't been challenged properly enough this fall for the Sugar call.
