The Trojans were probably the BEST team coming down the
stretch and with Carson Palmer at the helm, could have
easily been National Champs in a REAL playoff. Also,
glad to see Palmer get his due with the Heisman Trophy
in spite of the lack of exposure here in the east
before the nationally-televised USC-Notre Dame game
which helped his cause.

The ONE thing about this year's bowl games that is almost impossible to dispute is that the right guy won the Heisman.

I agree that USC was playing very good football at the end of the year. Who knows what would have happened in hypothetical playoffs, that is a very dangerous team.

However, I've heard too much about how USC WOULD DEFINETELY beat OSU though. OSU played a phenomenal season, had its ups and downs, but won every single game. College Football right now does not allow for streakiness. You have to play consistent enough football to win all of your games. OSU did what it had to do to give itself a shot, if USC would have done the same then maybe things would be different. Everybody thought that Miami was going to roll over OSU as well, didn't happen. I would love to see a game between USC and OSU though, it would be a great game.
