But, they are certainly not the best team of all time, especially since most of the teams in college football are sort of down this year.

You do realise they are going for their third straight national title right?

it doesn't even matter anymore. if usc wins everyone will just think that is what was supposed to happen, no big deal. if texas wins it will be a shock but then they will keep talking about how amazing usc's streak was.

Could have fooled me hdeck, espn has done its fair share of hyping Texas and Young all season.

I agree.

My only thought is that USC has brought better ratings to College Football (not that they need it) and everyone is trying to capitalize on that. But there are a lot of experts and writers from ESPN picking Texas to win.

Thats because ESPN has been riding Vince Youngs jock all season.

Yeah and if it wasnt for the OU-Tech officating crew calling the UT vs A&M game UT might not even be in the title game. And no I dont go to A&M, but anyone that watched the game or the footage afterwards saw UT got away with murder while A&M was called time and time again on what should have been non calls.

Wasnt it you that discounted A&M giving Texas a run for their money? USC and Notre Dame are bigger rivals than Texas and A&M. As for Fresno State it was LA Tech not Tulsa, not that that makes any difference.

what's this, digitalism pulling sh/t out of his ass? this has never happened before! let's blame officiating for texas being in the title game when officials HANDED usc the win against notre dame. i can't believe you would even try to make that argument.

don't you even try to say espn has hyped texas half as much as usc. they've been given 11 days of comparing usc to the greatest teams ever. even the guys on espn admit it.

Uh? One team? Uh they struggled with more than one team. The final scores might not show that, but they struggled in three of their games.

And who the fvck have they played besides OSU and Tech? The big 12 is a joke this year, so you cant really say they had a tougher schedule.

Just to straighten it out, Fresno State lost to USC, then Nevada, then LA Tech, then to Tulsa in the Liberty bowl to end their season. :(

and just based on the fact that digitalism isn't even following the bowl games anything he says should be automatically be disgarded.

What University has the most national titles? What University is going for its third straight? Sure itsnt UT. ESPN rode Texas' jock all year, they did the same for SC as well. Of course they are going to hype up the best ever on the part of SC because they are going for their THIRD title in a ROW. USC is a dynasty, Texas is and will always be the underachiever.

Also USC has two of the greatest college players in the past decade or two, one who is being called a once in a generation player by NFL scouts. USC will have players going #1 and #2. Vince Young is staying at Texas because his prospects of going in the first half of the first round are slim to none.

lmao what dynasty?
they are riding on pure luck
throw them into games against the Big 10
big10 teams are always misrepresented because they all go at eachothers throats and play tough. but please, give me an example of how any other conference is better than the Big10. And while your at it, take a guess at how USC would do if they didn't play the teams they play, especially this year.

yeah let's talk about all those national titles they won 20+ years ago because those are all SO relevant for this game, right? espn didn't ride anything with texas all year. when va tech was still undefeated they said they would be in the title game over texas. even after that they said texas would slip up before bowl season. none of it has happened. all at the same time they pushed reggie bush as the greatest player of all time for havine ONE good game against a terrible fresno state team. if vince would have played 4 quarters in every single game he would have easily ran away with the reward but they don't need pad stats on our team (that and we've had the majority of our games won by the 3rd quarter unlike usc). how hard would it have been for espn to hype up usc AFTER the game? i mean if they are really that superior none of the footage would have been altered, and all of usc's players would have more stats to highlight. usc isn't a dynasty until they win the game, period. and once texas wins the game will you people finally shut up about being an underacheiver? what more do they have to do? every one said they would stumble at ohio state, then against oklahoma, then against texas tech, then against a&m. it didn't happen so get over it.

*edit* why don't you look at the draft board right now? he is listed as the 2nd best qb coming out TODAY. if texas wins he would be considered the best. even more than that, jay cutler is a MUCH better quarterback than matt leinart, but because he goes to vanderbilt he is getting 0 coverage. if cutler played for usc they would still be undefeated. if leinart played for vanderbilt they wouldn't have won 5 games.

Your going to eat crow about Young. My god you people at UT are delusional in thinking hes the greatest thing since sliced bread. He was shown up by a fvcking freshmen. Young had his fvcking shot at the hiesmen and he choked. 162 yrds passing 19 yrds rushing 1 TD and 1 INT vs the 107th defense. Young choked hard.

You need to lay off the crack pipe if you think Young is better than Lienart, and well put your self out of your deluded misery if you think Young is a better player/more talented than Bush.

it's funny how all you can say is that i am delusional. it must be because you know for a fact that his stats would be much better if he had stayed in the game for all 4 quaters. as i recall, young had 1 bad game this season (against a&m) whereas bush had 4 games of under 100 yards and 3 without a touchdown. CLEARLY young is a terrible player. all you have to do is look at michael vick. young's stats are all better than vick's and i'd say vick has done ok for himself since he went pro.

i'm not going to continue the conversation if all you are going to do is try to throw insults and baseless comments without actually saying anything meaningful.

Lets see, Bush #1, Lienart #2, Young isnt going Pro, why? Because hes not a top 16 prospect. That game vs A&M didnt just hurt his heismen hunt, but put a damper on his draft prospect. He needs another year and thats pretty much all I have to say.

Those 2 guys on Sportscenter comparing the Trojans to historical teams are definitely overrating them. I bet they would say they can compete with NFL teams :roll:

I think this whole thing is just stupid.

Let's wait and see how USC does against Texas. I will be rooting for USC as they are a Pac-10 team, but Texas is pretty good. Reggie Bush does do some amazing things at times, but you have to wonder if he is big enough and strong enough to be an everyday back in the NFL. All you have to do is look at Napolean Kauffman to see some similarities. But then Warrick Dunn has managed to last.

By the way, the '91 Wa. Huskies had an average score of 42-9 in their games that year, and that included playing the second and thrid stringers for entire halves of games. Steve Emtman used to eat the best O-lines for lunch. Too bad he never could stay healthy as a pro.

Emtman blew his knee out in preseason and that screwed his whole career, but you can't argue with a guy who took on three...yes THREE of Michigans offensive linemen in the Rose Bowl. Lincoln Kennedy, Ernie Conwell, Mark Bruner, Mark Brunell, Lawyer Milloy...just to name a few players from 91 Washington that went on to have NFL careers. Heard of any of them?

USC did NOT, again DID NOT win the BCS bowl game of that year, therefore, they didn't win in 2003.

I am not going to bash USC, sure, they are a good team no doubt but keep saying "we are going to win the 3rd title in a row* is a big joke. We can seat here and argue whether USC should be in that title game instead of OK <what about Auburn last year?> but the bottom line is BCS bowl = National Champs.

USC split the title with LSU in 2003 because they didnt play head to head. USC split the title with Auburn in 2004 because they didnt play head to head.

USC has every right to claim their titles. However, this is the first time in the past 3 years that the champion will be determined on the field, head to head. Its not USC's fault, blame the BCS. The point remains that their two straight titles were both split.

Finally, all the talk about the 34 game winning streak is kind of silly. It is indeed impressive, and says alot of good things about the coaching staff. However, the team that USC is fielding here in a couple days isnt the same team that won the first 22 games of this streak. Many of those players are long gone (to graduation and many to the NFL). The two teams that are playing are both on 12 game winning streaks.
