My two cents:

The Pac Ten has clearly shown that they are better than they are given credit for being. I think the Big 12 has done nothing so far but prove Morty right. They play no defense.

I dont buy that USC can't win on the road. I think one would have a difficult time backing up that statement. They have lost 16 games in the Pete Carroll era. 16 games and they only lost by double figures 1 time. They beat hammered a good arkansas team a few years back at Arkansas if I remember. They consistently dominate their own conference and half their games are on the road. I just dont see it.

USC can play with any team in the country. Period. If USC were to play either one of those teams in the National championship, what do you think the spread would be?

Having said all that, Florida and Oklahoma are in fair and square by the rules that are in place. Are the rules without flaw? No, this system is messed up. But it is what it is and based on that the two correct teams are there.

they showed it in vegas

USC would be favored over any team in the country
including Florida and OU (not that it matters)

I belive that the kickoff game of next seasons is labor day weekend
( USC) Trojans vs. (Detroit) Loins.. Its being played in Rome.

Bama does not have the depth (right now) of usc, fla and texas. sure Bama can lose tonight. IF Bama plays the the way they played clemson, uga, auburn, it shouldn't be close.... if they play like they did against ole miss. it will be close.

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.
