It's ending okay, although the jury won't be in until Wednesday night.
By any objective standard, the Big 12 North had an off year. Colorado backed into the title game and it showed. Nobody expects that division to remain down for long though, because the football programs are well-established and the money is there to rebuild.
I'm certainly not going to join the bandwagon saying the Big 12 is an inferior conference. Texas is the real deal, for sure, and I'm not expecting them to get humiliated at the Rose Bowl. They can win, although I'm not expecting it. USC has so many weapons.
They are both loaded with weapons and I guess that's what makes this game so interesting. I'm more excited about this game Nebraska winning the title with a blow out int he orange bowl when everybody was expecting the opposite. This could be wishful thinking but I am hoping for something similar. The press is behing SC and already coronating them and that alone is enough to piss me off. If the media is on one side I'm generally on the other regardless of the subject.
According to ESPN USC is the greatest team to ever walk this earth. They planted the flag at Iwo Jima, Bush went heads up against Jordan and trounced him and have secretely invented the cure for old age.
