but they somehow always manage to lose one game at the end of year to keep them out a championship game or winning it. UCLA? Standford? How did you guys lose UCLA? How can ANY team let one person tear them a new one in a national championship game? Now lets talk about present USC. How did you lose OSU? Oh that right you lost because you couldn't stop one person with you "awesome" defence. Then i wasn't impressed this weekend with the game. Basically USC shouldn't be anywhere near the top 5. You lose to an unranked OSU team that is bad and not mention you got pwned by them and still in the top 10? USC is way over rated. They will get owned by Penn St. at the rose bowl.

It's funny but since you've been posting, you keep on saying Penn St. will beat USC in the Rose Bowl but when is the last time you ever saw Penn St. in any significant bowl in the last 5 years? And before you answer, the Alamo Bowl isn't a significant national bowl game, more of a CIF quality game.
I admit it, USC's worst foe is themselves, it's been a bane of the Trojans for years. OSU didn't beat USC, USC beat themselves but the fact doesn't change, when USC comes out to play, they are undefeatable. Just ask Ohio St.
ack-ack
