OU will NOT make the title game if OU, USC, and an SEC team all go undefeated!

[Conan]

IF (and that is a BIG IF) Georgia goes into LSU and beats them, beats Alabama, Auburn (at georgia) and goes into the cocktail party to beat Florida. USC won't have any first place votes left... no pollster in their right mind is going to put anyone but Georgia #1 if they run thru that schedule unscathed.

By the same theory if USC doesn't keep dominating everyone and has a few close games against a Stanford or a Cal, and Oklahoma keeps crushing people and trounces Mizzou and Texas... don't be surpised to see USC falling to #3 in the coaches and AP polls. It is NOT a stretch to see USC falling and UF/UGA and OU passing them. All it takes is a few non-impressive games vs impressive games (look at UGA vs SC and USC vs Ohio State for examples of that drop).

If Georgia can drop from 1 to 3 without losing a game, so can USC.

I doubt any of this is true.... USC ending up #3.

It's simply because of this....

Ted Miller: Here's why USC is hyped.
The Trojans have six running backs who will play in the NFL. Their QB, Mark Sanchez, could be a first-round draft pick. USC lists 10 WRs on its depth chart. I'd bet at least six get drafted. When Kristofer O'Dowd is a senior -- if he sticks around -- he might be the No. 1 center in the nation. I have a hard time believing at least two of the Trojans' other four offensive linemen won't stick on NFL teams.
ESPN.com's Mel Kiper ranks Fili Moala the No. 2 senior DT. He ranks Rey Maualuga the No. 1 ILB. He ranks Brian Cushing the No. 1 OLB. He ranks Taylor Mays the No. 1 junior safety.
And I'd bet you $1 that SS Kevin Ellison and CB Shareece Wright become first-day draft picks.
And sophomore end Everson Griffen and those three freshmen on the DL depth chart? Holy cow.
That's my guess why people are voting USC No. 1: They look at USC and they see the nation's best team, however the schedule ahead will play out.

OU hasn't played a team worth a shit.. and every week gets harder as im looking at there schedule. UT, A@M, Ok.St, K-State are all away games. UT will slide under the radar and beat OU in the upcoming RRR Game. They wont be sitting at number 2 past November.

Why is USC currently #1 anyways? For routing a pathetic Virginia team and an OSU team missing their best player?

Why is OU currently #2 anyways? For routing both a 1-AA team and then Cincinnati at home, and the 2nd worst "Pac-1" team on the road?

Why is UGA currently #3 anyways? For routing both a 1-AA team and then a MAC team at home, squeaking out a road game vs. a lousy conference team they should've lost to, and routing a mesely "Pac-1" team on the road?

Why is UF currently #4 anyways? For routing both a WAC team and then a basketball conference ACC team at home, and then a conference team on the road (who prior lost to a mesely "Pac-1" team themselves)?

etc.

Man I'm so glad to see this....they actually had some shit on sportscenter today..."What would the line be on USC vs the St. Louis Rams?" It's nice to finally see them being brought back to earth. I hope OU is watching so they realize there are no cake walks and you have to be ready every week!

Believe me, Stoops and OU knows what lays ahead for them. But i would still be very surprised if teams like Georgia, Florida, Penn St. and OU go undefeated. Their conferences are just too tough to run the table on the road.. I wouldn't write USC off...I've seen this same scenerio many times before in the PAC-10 where USC comes out a completetly different team.
