USC hates UCLA, but, they hate ND even more.
When USC plays at ND it is always in OCT, and when they play it at home it is always in late NOV , the week before the UCLA game. UCLA usually has a bye and a week off to get ready for USC.
USC will have trouble giving a max effort 2 weeks in a row. UCLA will be in an all out max effort. Remember - they could have very easily won at ND, except for the meltdown in the last 2 minutes
I expect UCLA to be at 100% for this game and USC only at about 75%. Thus , the game will be a lot closer than people think. Also last year the Bruin defense put on a horrible show in the Coliseum. The coaches and players have not forgotten how Carroll didn't take the pedal off the medal with Bush and Leinhart. They will be ready to go this year, the defense is much improved and they are going against Booty rather than Leinhart.
Watch out a Bruin victory will throw the BCS in shambles - what if later in the evening Florida loses? Then we get our re-match of Mich and OSU - it is possible - USC is not a lock this week -- BIG LETDOWN in the rose bowl

Blah, I hope USC wins. Let em play OSU and get humiliated on national tv.
This isn't right, not at all. If a one loss team has to go to the championship, the logical criteria is supposed to be who had the strongest one loss season.
Florida lost to Auburn in Auburn. Michigan lost to OSU by a field goal in OSU. USC loses to Oregon St. and they get the nod? How the hell does that make any sense?
The media has fallen in love with USC, and they are getting the nod because of it. Its supposed to be the best two teams. Back when Florida St beat Florida in the regular season, and had a rematch with them in the big game, Florida absolutely killed them. No doubt Florida was the best team in the land that year. Imagine if they had been denied that because noone wanted a "rematch" between the best two teams? I'm neither a Mich fan nor a Florida fan, but whats right is right. We should be arguing over which one of those teams should be going. Let USC win and get blown out, maybe it will help next year if the same situation arises.
