I think most college football fans saw USC as the best team in the country through the first few weeks, so the statement you responded to was not inaccurate.
USC does this act almost every year....gets whacked by a second tier team. Frustrating for their fans.
Pssh. USC would lose 3 or 4 games per year in the SEC.
They’re just media darlings. But look forward to them debuting 2009 as the “concensus # 1” just the same. It all works out in the end.
I’ll bet USC doesn’t even drop out of the top 6 or 7, even after losing to an unranked team that got drilled by Arizona State by 50+.
Funny really.
Possibly a majority outside the SEC.
Then most college football fans are idiots. But that would explain why they’re college football fans. A vicious cycle, to be sure.
