"I'm eating my heart out that USC blew their shot...."
I feel the same way, but it's a battle to do this year in and year out, given the competition. Seems like there are a good 7-10 teams that each year, if things go their way, could be playing for a title. Pretty amazing we were in the mix three years in a row (and right there for the last five, really). And with who we have coming back next year, wow, we're right back in it again. Gonna be fun.
Congratulations to Florida for this year. They played a tough schedule and were battle-hardened and ready to win the championship. They deserved it.
"Pretty amazing we were in the mix three years in a row (and right there for the last five, really)." YUP! I don't think any team recently has been as consistently dominant as USC.
