I actually agree with paper dragon here. It's great that they're probably the most talented team, but I don't think they play as a team all that well. I'd say USC maybe wins 4-5 against OK and Texas, and I think Florida and them would come pretty close to splitting every 10.

I think USC is slightly low. Maybe a spot or two.

Shows there's zero reward for avoiding the directional schools in the nonconference.

And as long as we're pissing that PSU beat OSU which beat USC so PSU is better!!!! Then can I whine that USC rolled Ohio State while Penn State barely beat them?

No?

Why not?

Because common opponents don't tell anything but the simplest part of the story. Where did they play? When did they play?

Ohio State has changed a lot since getting popped by USC. Oregon State is not the same team that lost big at Happy Valley.

Penn State won both. They've won all their games. There's no discussion until Penn State loses one.

If USC takes care of business against a far inferior Oregon State team, it wouldn't be a problem. Texas lost to a top 10 team on the last play of the game on the road. Oklahoma lost a close one against the nation's top team on a neutral field. Okie and Texas take care of business when playing inferior teams.

texas isn't top ranked any longer. doesn't make oklahoma's loss look all that great now.

Would you rather a team have a loss to a top five team or an unranked one on the resume?

Texas' loss came in the final second of an away game against a team that is now ranked No. 2. They were poised to win the game up until the last two or three plays. Can't say that about USC at Oregon State.

They weren't poised to win the game up until the last three plays... that's nonsense. They were behind the whole game until their last series. They never once led when Texas Tech finished a drive.

I may be confusing a game, but I've got in my mind what would have been a 40-plus yard field goal attempt with 8 seconds and the dropped interception before that. The first three quarters aside, they were leading up until the last second of the game. And if you want to count the first three quarters, you have to give them credit for coming back.

And truth be told, Texas dropped two interceptions on the final drive that would have sealed the win -- one the play before the touchdown.
