Call me when sc plays somebody!
40 point underdog Stanford 24
USC 23
Fight On Usc!!! Lmfao!!!
If LSU loses, this will hands-down be the most incredible back-to-back weekends in CF history.
Amen to that!
damn booty spread it around, 4 different cardinals with picks.
HA! So much for the over-hyped Trojans, JGW. At least some of the other "upsets" were against ranked teams - not a basement dweller in the PAC-10. LOL!
STANFORD!!??

well that was unfortunate. say what you will, but USC is not out of the le game race...if they run the table they will be just fine, its a long season. besides, after they lost to oregon state last year they were still in until the loss to uchla.
you guys, USC is running the table. and their strength of schedule is more than enough to get them back to at least the #2 spot. no need to panic...
Not if Oklahoma runs the table
If my Sooners run the table and USC does as well, we'll get screwed out of it by the pollsters boner for USC and the highly overrated PAC-10 (remember when UCLA was ranked #11... since then they've lost to Utah and NOTRE DAME for gods sake... but they are still sitting atop the PAC-10 by virtue of a 3-0 conference record). They lost to one of the worst teams in the country but only droped 5 spots in one poll, 8 spots in the other. Wisconsin, on the other hand, lost to a team now sitting at 5-1 and drops 10 spots in one poll, 14 in the other. Look at how far WVU dropped when the lost to South Florida.
Just to demonstrate the bull -ness of the polls... Stanford, yes 2-3 Stanford whose only other win was against San Jose State, received 4 points in the USA Today Coaches Poll... yes, some wahoo out there believes Stanford is a top 25 team.
I won't say that USC doesn't belong in the le hunt, but I don't see why they deserve such an easy climb back. Losing to a team like Stanford AT HOME should drop them in the teens, not leave them a top 25 team.
Dude, the Pac-10 is brutal. Stanford would probably win the conference le in the Big-12.
Most INTELLIGENT sports figures understand that this year's USC team is a lot more hype than substance. Barely beating a 2-3 Washington team and then getting upset by an UNRANKED and then 1-3 Standford squad AT HOME. Booty not living up to preseason expectations. Injuries are starting to plague them. Etc.
I somehow doubt USC will run the table, having to play Oergon and Cal, but if they do and another 1-loss team with a similar or harder schedule is ranked below them then you know for a fact there is bias.
I just can't wait to see how the computer polls rank them now and at the end of the year. I know they only make up 1/3 of the BCS rankings, but that one has gotta hurt.
