USC "playing the beat at the end of the year" bandwagon is definitely a case of rewriting history. No one was saying that before the Fiesta Bowl, they were too caught up in how the Miami juggernaut was unstoppable and would blow out the poor slow northern Buckeyes. The bottom line is that USC is the flavor of the moment. They are not playing for a "three peat", if they beat Texas then this will be (arguably) their second in a row. LSU was the BCS champ in 03-04, the AP poll no longer matters...as evidenced by the fact that the poll itself has removed itself from the equation. Not to mention that the fact that the Trojans dodged the best team in the country in 04-05...Auburn would have brought the immovable object (as would the Bucks in '02) that USC's unstoppable offense hasn't had to face (and as history has shown time and time again would not be able to overcome).USC's "greatest team of all time" label is little more than media hype...how soon we forget that just a few short years ago the media outlets were fawning all over the Canes in the exact same matter.USC is a damn good team...but their path to glory has been has been eased considerably by not having to face any actual obstacles.Now if you'd like to talk about rampant homerism, we can discuss whether South Florida would have been in contention for a conference championship in the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, ACC or PAC 10...Actually he's advocating that a TWO loss USC team should have played for the national title over two undefeated teams.</blockquote>
