I expect USC will never be seriously challenged this year. They should be far and away the best team (apologies to LSU).

On paper, USC should run the table. Realistically, these are kids in college. The football is pointy and bounces funny when it hits the ground.

USC should make the season somewhat boring in terms of who is #1, but it rarely works out that way when the season actually starts.

I’m still sticking to my 143-0 score at South Bend, though.

I wish you guys were right -- I don't like the #1 preseason pick. It is like a curse. And USC always manages to be challenged in what were supposed to be easy games.
