Does anyone not think that USC couldn't roll thru any of these big 12 teams

Does anyone think John Parker Wilson could beat the USC defense ???

I ain't saying USC would beat Florida , but they s/b given the chance
I'm not saying they wouldn't beat Florida but they didn't earn a chance anymore than Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, or Alabama did. Alabama and Texas lost to the best teams of any of them. Florida and Oklahoma beat the best teams of any of them. USC lost to a worse team than any and didn't beat a better team than any.

The problem is the system is flawed and it is why the sport needs a playoff system so badly. I mean, what happens if Utah pulls off the unexpected tonight and beat the Tide? How would they not have the best argument to be national champions at that point? Yet the pollsters wouldn't even have the option to put them #1 if they wanted to.

how can you say that losing to an unranked team at home in the swamp when you have 100k plus cheering for you is a better loss than , losing on the road to a team that had basically the same record

explain to me how old miss is a better team the osu

what will you say if Utah playes 'bama down to the wire tonight???

After the USC game they lost at Utah and got beat by OU without their best player

Losing at home against Miss and losing at Oregon St are both bad losses, you really can't say one is better than the other. It isn't the quality of their loss that got Florida in, it is the quality of their best win. I don't think anyone can argue that beating Alabama on a neutral field isn't a superior win to beating Ohio St at home.

in CFB there is a huge differnce between losing at home vs on the road
is there not?

so what who did 'bama beat this year - the sec was down , they caught UGA in a letdown game coming back from the west coast and jumped on them in the 1st half and had to hold on for dear life in the 2nd half

let's see how utah does tonight - if they give 'bama all they can handle then your case gets a lot weaker
