Stanford 55 – UCS 21. Today might have been the most embarassing day for USC football players since they got their SAT scores.

Of course, many people know that Trojan defenses can be overrated. They’re called parents.
–
Not to say that this year’s season has been a tragedy for Trojan fans. But this year’s season video may be marketed as a sequel to the Iliad.

Apparently coach Pete Carroll and some Trojan fans weren’t too happy about Stanford’s decision to go for two leading 48-21, because they don’t believe in piling on. Right, I guess that means that 56-3 win over San Jose State opening week was the result of some players not getting the memo…

USC fans are taking the loss to Stanford particularly hard because down in Los Angeles they don’t have a professional football team to look forward to watching on Sunday. And Northern California fans are saying, “dudes, have you seen the 49ers lately?”

You heard it here first, what about USC-Notre Dame in the Emerald Bowl?

The BCS system supposedly was created to stop controversy about the National Championship. And what could happen this year? As many as FOUR undefeated Divison 1 teams. (Either Florida or Alabama, TCU, Boise State, Cincinnati.) Well, glad we got that settled.

One regular excuse used by the BCS to justify favoring SEC and Big 12 teams over other conferences is “strength of schedule.”
Yeah, well…may I present….
University of Louisiana-Monroe, University of Texas-El Paso
Charleston-Southern, Troy
Florida International, Chattanooga.
The above pairs of football “powerhouses” were scheduled as nonconference games by undefeated Texas, Florida and Alabama respectively. Guess the University of Phoenix was not available.
