"hype machine?!"
You want hype? Check this out:
"Forget about the Dolphins and Colts. If Indy beats the Jaguars, Chargers and Seahawks, then we'll talk. Until then, we ought to be naming babies, buildings and freeways after the greatest dynasty this side of Ming.
The USC Trojans.
The Colts are 12-0, and we're treating them like they've been canonized by Paul Tagliabue. I love the way the Colts play (I'd pay money just to watch Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison in pregame warm-ups), but the Colts haven't even clinched the AFC South yet. Meanwhile, Pete Carroll's USC program has won its last 34 games and is going for an unprecedented third consecutive national championship.
The Trojans haven't lost a game since Sept. 27, 2003, and it took three overtime periods at Cal to do it. Since Oct. 6, 2002, USC is 45-1. Freaks.
In those 45 victories, only five were decided by less than a touchdown.
Thirty-three of those wins were decided by 20 points or more. Colts, who? .... The Trojans are on such a championship roll, they have their own parking space at the White House Rose Garden. The only downside to this remarkable run is having to hear the Trojan Marching Band play "Conquest" 11,000 times per game."

Genes a 'tard if he doesnt think that an undefeated regular season in the pros isnt something to hoot about. And he should wait for this season to end before deciding if this Trojan team is the greatest dynasty in college footbal of all time. They win they will be, if not they have to wait until next year to be amongst the chosen.
It is also true.
