But oh what a reputation it is....
Look everyone: people seem to be ready to bury the USC Dynasty after 1 blowout ON THE ROAD and 1 upset ON THE ROAD against a mediocre UW team when our starting QB was injured and did not play.
The Oregon loss was shocking and there are no excuses because even with the injured starters we've lost this season, we were completely outcoached in Autzen and that falls to PC.
The theme of this year's USC team is winning ON THE ROAD. No other team has played anywhere near the quality OR number of road games USC has this season.
This is the year to beat SC because what comes around, goes around. All of these difficult road games this season become home games next season:wave2: and I wouldn't want to play USC next season, assuming Barkley finishes out the season uninjured:wave2:

Just hand USC the NC next year, okay...:thefinger
We have no Linebackers this season after losing 4 to the NFL. The Recruiting Machine had a hickup this season. The replacement LBs are small, fast, but clueless. Even Maualuga and Cushing missed tackles too in their careers:dunno:
If we win out this season, as long as Boise and TCU are in the BCS, I have no problem with USC sneaking a BCS bid. I'm not sure I'll apologize for that bid either if Oregon continues to lose. :thefinger
Great point. That's a very easy schedule, with some of your biggest competition at home. I only see 2, maybe 3 ranked opponents. Plus, USC should be a hell of a lot better.
