USC should be automatically penalized.

They lost to Stanford, who in turn lost to Notre Dame.

Notre Dame's 2 wins came off Pac-10 teams (Stanford, UCLA).
In my distorted mind, that eliminates any Pac-10
team from a National Title game.

In hindsight now, it looks like Mizz. and Georgia both
got slighted with horrible opponents. I am also starting to
wonder about Mr. Stoops and his bowl game preps.

Sooner fans are getting heavy doses of depression
in January. This makes 3 very humbling (nah make that humiliating)
loses when favored.
USC, Boise, now W.Va.
