"And USC played 1 ranked school (California who gave them a close game) that got crushed in their Bowl game by Texas Tech. Oklahoma was overrated, and Auburn got robed.'
And Texas crushed Tech.
Sprite's premise is incorrect. SC played four teams ranked in the top 20 - Oklahoma, Cal, Virgina Tech, and Arizona State. They also played two other teams that briefly appeared in the top-25 during the season (Notre Dame and Oregon). In all, SC had played seven "bowl teams" during their schedule this year.
