I'd suggest USC concentrate on beating Michigan. If I was Michigan I know I'd be getting tired of all this we're the real NC's talk from USC. BTW, I believe USC has a split NC...'78 I believe

Yep, in '78 Alabama won the AP and USC the UPI (which was the coaches' poll in those days).

I'm sure they are, but I don't strap on the pads on Saturdays! Yes, they were split champs in 1978 (another screw job), and 1974. There have been many split champs over the years. I thought the BCS was created to eliminate split championships?

This Wolverine isn't getting tired of the talk. On the contrary I'm loving it! Let the whole country keep right on yammering away about LSU, USC, and "the three top teams." Lloyd Carr and our team are getting down to business in Ann Arbor. It's all going to be decided on the field. Sure, if Michigan wins most people will say the Sugar Bowl winner is the "National Champion." So what? USC is (legitimately) ranked #1 in both polls. They are playing essentially at home in a classic Big 10 vs. Pac 10 New Year's Day matchup. If Michigan beats them convincingly, then to me we're as entitled as anyone to say we're the champs.
