Up with USC, down with BCS

Here, here, finally some wisdom from the Chronicle (for likely the last time this year)!

Go USC, death to the BCS. Unfortunately a good Michigan team may just throw a monkey wrench into all this.

Methinks these folk should wait for USC to actually win the Rose Bowl before they posture in such a manner. The BSC is littered with the carcasses of teams who thought they should be playing for the championship but failed to win the game they were actually playing in.

[Drango]

Go Trojans Rubbers, beat Michigan.

[cars for sale]

try this for size.......The Arizona Wildcats won the big enchelada beating the three biggest b ball powerhouses
in America and yet , the least written stories of any champion nationally. Add the D Baocks beat those "damn Yankees" and the eastern sports writers were angry
because we fly over fools did not take into consideration
the pain of N Yawkers in 2001...
same batch controls the "puter"

wanna bet they control the "puter" in the 04 elections too ?

Who cares what The Man thinks, anyway? This is the best team in the country playing for the ring.

Although the author obviously refers to USC in the above, the best team in either the Rose or Sugar Bowls could very well be Michigan, IMHO. (I am no Wolverine fan, BTW...) We shall see...

[Dog Gone]

Yeah, it all goes to heck if USC loses.

LSU will handle OU handily and then all questions will be put to rest. And no, I'm not an LSU fan. LOL

USC has played no one this year and lost to an unranked Cal team. They're good, but not nearly that good. They'll be introduced to defense in this game. Similar for OU. OU played Texas who appears to have been overrated in a weaker-than-thought conference now.

LSU lost to a respectable Florida team in their own conference and all of their wins were pretty much blowouts otherwise with decent wins over 11th ranked Georgia twice.

LSU 41, OU 23 to make LSU the champs. Michigan will be #2 after a decisive win over USC one of the most overrated teams in the top 10.

[SVTCobra03]

Must be nice to live in a dream world. Sooners will dominate.

[Dog Gone]

Wow, you're obviously much smarter than all the AP sportswriters and college coaches, not to mention the Las Vegas oddsmakers.

[cajungirl]

Well, we will have you over for gumbo since you are a friendly sort who knows who the nat champs will be. USC is gonna either squeak by Michigan or get whupped. We will whup Ok {even tho I love JC Watts and the musical} and LSU will be Nat Champs.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

What's a USC??????

[montomike]

Hopefully the University of Spoiled Children with a senior graduation rate of about 2% will get their butts kicked up and down the field by Michigan with a senior graduation rate in the upper 25th percentile*.

*USC grads can email me and I will explain the concept of percentile!

[Dog Gone]

It's the United States Code, the registry of federal laws.

[Osage Orange]

You are obviously "winging it".....(vbg)

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

oh!

[lainde]

Goooo USC!!!!!

[auboy]

Go Trojans! Go Bengal Tigers!

Go To Hell BCS!

[AmishDude]

Ahem. We already have a national champion. No matter what happens, the Delaware Blue Hens are the only true champions of college football.
