Some Auburn player said before the game that they thought USC shouldn't be in the title game bacause they were an overrated Pac10 team. Some USC play responded "didn't we kick their @ss last year already"

If it was Auburn vs USC, I think the score would have been just about the same. Auburn has NO Offense.

Auburn played the number 2, 3, 4, and 12 D's in the nation and still averaged over 30 a game.

I'm glad USC pounded Oklahoma and silenced the critics doubting their worthiness. I guess winning 32/33 of your last games isn't good enough for some people. Auburn has a right to complain, but they shouldn't have the right to say USC didn't deserve to get to the title game. USC got screwed last year, so maybe Auburn should be mad at Oklahoma who always seems to get into the title game when they don't deserve to. And Utah had as much of a right as Auburn did to be in some sort of title game, so basically the problem won't be solved unless their is some sort of a playoff, plain and simple. Or everyone can go along each year and not have a true champion, which will probably happen as everyone suffers through the bcs and debates every year.

You were singing a different tune last year. The two teams have not met, so there is no way to say one is better than the other. Their one common opponent was VT, and USC's victory over them was pretty close as well, and they just happened to add some style points at the end.

USC deserves to be National Champion, but Auburn shouldn't just be left out. Congrats to the Trojans on an awesome game, and having one of the best teams in recent past. Again, congrats!

I really wouldve liked to see Auburn and USC play. Auburns experienced and excellent D wouldve fared much better than Oklahoma's did. That and Auburn's O probably wouldve done better also. However, I am still not convinced that Auburn deserves a part of the NC.

Utah didn't have as much of a right as Auburn did, to be in the title game. Yes, they played very well this season, but on the whole, Auburn played a tougher schedule.

I don't want to argue about who should have been there or the result. USC won the BCS Championship, and it is very unlikely that Auburn will be higher than number 2 in the AP. Congrats to USC, their fans, and the team, they deserve it. People can argue all day about Utah and Auburn, but in the end we can only sit back and watch. The system is not perfect or fair, but neither is life. Congrats to all the undefeated teams.

Hey now...the PAC-1.5 thing is my gimmick. :)

USC is a good team, Cal is average....the rest of that conference is just a bunch of also-rans who occasionally make a little noise then fall of the radar for another decade.

Any NFL team would be any NCAA team, period...end of that discussion.

Big 12 is just terrible. Texas has better talent than OU but they can't beat them for some reason...other than that, the conference stinks.....but then again, the PAC 10 stinks too.

White never was an NFL prospect - his body is a mess - he's had 2 knee reconstructions, and his arm strength is average at best...OU can't pass block against Baylor, not sure how anyone thought they would against USC.

Auburn does get screwed, they should get a crack at USC now - think how much money the NCAA could make by having one more game next week?!

USC put the pwn down. Hell, Mike Stoops (Head coach of Arizona - Bob's brother) did better against USC, at least we were still in the game at half time. USC eventually put the pwn down on us (AZ) too though :p - They are truly one of the best, they look like they could beat 70% of the NFL teams.

Let me put it this way: if you took the top draft choices at each position in the next two years, and magically put them all on the same team, any NFL team would stomp them with the exception of the 49ers, who would still win, but it'd be close ;) NFL teams have more experience, power, and speed than you will see any college team have. College teams occasionally manage to look like they are playing on the pro level, but the key word there is "look".
That is so true. I live in the Tampa Bay area and I remember years of the Yucks where people would call in on sports radio and suggest that the Hurricanes, Seminoles, or Gators could beat the Bucs. One time a host went down the list of college studs on the Bucs and compared them to what was on the college teams. It wasn't even close.

The weakest NFL team has *FAR* more size, speed, and overall talent than any college team and would stomp them into dust.

some player from Auburn said that USC did not belong in the game as they played in the pac 10, i think that player forgot the beating they got the last 2 times :D, no one from SC is scared to play them, the game is not going to happen that is all,

Because USC doesn't want it to. If they were really that "great" they be pushing to end any and all criticism and would schedule Auburn -- NCAA be damned!

watever makes you happy, arranging a game is not something the usc AD controls

face it., they have been 1 of the best (if not the best) team for 2 years running, you have been trying to find reasons to prove otherwise,

sorry for your team, to have go through the 'great' sec and not have a shot at the title game
