Boy did Oklahoma look like crap!
There are always a few nutballs and people with axes to grind (and checks to cash). Even Babe Ruth and Ted Williams weren't unanimous selections to the Hall of Fame.
I saw them a few times this year and never understood how they were ranked so high.
Where did Texas finish? And do the AP rankings really mean anything?
If Auburn had bothered to play anyone noteworty on its non-conference schedule then they could have made a better beef.
The scary thing is that USC has 16/22 starters coming back next year as well as Reggie Bush. This is a team that should repeat next year and possibly 2006.
They remind me of the lat 80's early 90's Miami teams without the ghetto gansta' behavior.
uhhh.....aren't you the guy who said OU would "slaughter" USC last night?
heh.
Auburn is better than Utah or OU.
Given their pathetic performance I would question ranking Oklahoma ahead of Utah or Texas.
ROFL
Ummmm, Auburn actually played the toughest schedule of any of the undefeateds. Their strength of schedule was number 9 in the country. As a Tennesseee fan I can tell you they whipped us twice. They were more deserving to go to the National Championship than Oklahoma, but the sportswriters were not going to let that happen again. LSU was in by a fluke last year, this year we're giving it to USC. All the while, no one considered giving OU the boot either year. OU is pathetic. The people that voted for Auburn aren't nutballs. The people who voted OU second are the ones whose bones you should be picking.
"There are always a few nutballs and people with axes to grind... "
Yeah, like me. I'd vote USC #1, but I was pulling against USC when I heard OJ would be at the game!!!
Actually, I predicted USC 28, OU 20 a few hours before the game. Want me to dig up the post for you?
The Auburn game was so boring. It and Virginia Tech did not look impressive. But Auburn is still whining. Utah looked far better than either of those two.
I question ranking OU in the top 10 of anything! Boise State is a better team! Cal is better!
OU, OSU, Nebraska and NotreDame are the most overrated program in the Nation, year after year, no matter what their records are.

I think you can add florida state to that mix
I was referring to USC's slaughter of OU, not the other way around. At that point in the game the Trojans were up 35 to 10, so why on earth would I think that OU would do the slaughtering. Think, man.
If Leinart and Bush return, SC will return every single offensive starter except for John Drake...plus they will have Winston Justice back on the offensive line. They would be unbeatable next year...another wire-to-wire performance.
USC looked like they could take on a pro team last night. Hats off to em.
