not at all. i'm stating a fact. Bama had NO business being 12-0 this year, 8-4 tops. they beat clemson in atlanta, uga in athens, ut in knoxville and lsu in BR. they were 10 underdogs to fla and left the game slip away. they got some Good upper classmen leadership this year and pulled the team together. 9 senoirs but 3 are OL. the defense is mostly fresh. and sophs.
the 2 games they played without AS, they struggled. i'm hoping that, these guys came to far this season to allow it to end with a loss.

The 'national champion' can't be considered legit (again) this season without a victory against USC ... or victory in a playoff in which USC competed.



USC is simply WAY too good to ignore.





I feel bad for the UF (or OU) kids. They deserved better...

Sorry, SO....the rightful teams are in the title game. This is the system we have , and the Trojans shot themselves at Beavers Stadium. The Trojans are really playing well now..hopefully this will motivate them to NOT play down to the competition. But it would've been a great game either way.

lol yeah, i'm sure that oklahoma or florida will lose sleep over their tainted title. maybe one of these years, usc will live up to the hype and actually make it back to the title game. instead of losing once again to osu or stanford and costing us all the chance to see true greatness in action.
