At least until USC runs the table on the rest of their opponents.To live in Texas and be a USC fan is worse than being a BYU fan living in Watts.
Since the Trojans' loss, I've yet to answer my phone because I know it's just someone calling to talk trash.
But that's okay - these U.T. fans (and some alumni) can't even spell "U.T.".
And all hope is not lost.
In 2003 LSU started out at number 12 in the first BCS poll before winning the (disputed) BCS National Championship.
And last year USC went 10-0 after their loss to Oregon St.
So okay Max... this week is your week.
1 Florida - Yeah... they beat a less than stellar Tennessee team. But so did UCLA.
2 Texas - The Horns avenged their only loss from last season against an untested Texas Tech.
3 Alabama - North Texas? What are they...the 13th best team in the state of Texas.
4 Mississippi - SE Louisiana? Can SE Louisiana even beat Grambling?
5 Penn State - Temple? Temple. The Owls haven't been a contender since Cosby went there.
(10 USC - For now. But seeing as how the voters love to prop the Trojans up in their polls, look for the Men of Troy to move up in the rankings with each successive win.)
I swear when USC lose they damn near throw them out of the top 10.
ReplyDeleteWell USC can beat everyone except the last place team in the PAC 10! Damn!
USC just likes to add some drama to every season.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this year will end in a game at the Rose Bowl that's not on January 1st.
I got nothin' this weekend...
ReplyDelete[walks off, dragging feet with hanging head]
lol @ brohammas...
ReplyDeleteI have to say being a Los Angeles native I was very sad to see my hometown boys lose to Washington - WTF!!! Especially being down here in SEC country but I have faith in my boys. They gotta do better. For the Love of Pete!
@ brohammas - But at least BYU lost too.
ReplyDelete@ Freckles - I don't mind the SEC - at least they produce winners.
But I'm in the heart of second place Texas where they whine about Cali. like Jan whines about Marsha.
(Marsha..Marsha...Marsha.. = Cali...Cali...Cali...)
I like you ubj but here in the Southwest we feel the PAC 10 is a weak conference. USC does an excellent job with recruiting (6 running backs!!) but who do they really play? Cal is slightly dangerous / Oregon and Wash can get you on any given Sat but after that....
ReplyDeleteI come across this week conference shit often but really in comparison to who? I would personally consider the WAC or Sun Belt weak but not so much the PAC 10 but to each its own.
ReplyDelete@ Ojo - In last year's Bowl games the Pac 10 had the best record (even playing the "tougher" non-conference teams).
ReplyDeleteEven this year most teams that are supposed to win against non-conference teams win.
The USA Today rankings for best all-around sports programs has been dominated by Pac-10 teams for years.
California has Stanford, Cal, UCLA and USC and it's the private schools (USC and Stanford) which do the best.
Texas; UT, and every once in a while Tech or A&M sneak in.
Florida has Florida, Miami and Florida State.
Which other state even comes close to these three elites?
(Okay.. North Carolina - but only in basketball.)
@ Freckles - It's only sports - good for talking ish.
