Yep. The conventional wisdom is whomever won the Rose Bowl would be ranked #1 next year. Not sure I'm comfortable with that, but it worked out well for Ohio State! My only concern is USC has to play at ND --- you think the grass will be about 2 feet this time around?
The grass may well be 2 feet tall when the Trojans visit Southbend but Brady Quinn will be playing on Sundays by then...
