#1 Southern Cal 21, Oregon St. 27 (Final)

here is my prediction for what will happen

USC loses another game and finished 10-2 in regular season

other teams will either be undefeated or have no losses

and the media will come with their usual "usc is the best team even though they have 2 losses they should be playing for the title over teams with one or no losses, bla bla bla, they tripped up this year but out for them next year!, bla bla bla"

Can I anticipate that the Media will now start to question Carrol's abilities since it's thrice in as many years that his club has been beat by a bottom feeder?

Yeah.... didn't think so....
FIFY.

The funny part is that they "proven" their elite status by pounding second rate b10 teams, after which most declare they weren't worthy competition. If Illinois was unworthy (strong case to be made), then why is that victory worthwhile?

I still think Petey's a great coach, I'm just speaking to the knee-jerk analysis crowd, which encapsulates 99% of the media.

A fan-until-one-loss base of retarded, spoiled, whiny, moronic bandwagon jumpers who think football started in 1983 (Cryami)?
:bow: Game over. All fanbases have their problems, but Miami has most of their stadium leaving early in the game if things don't go well... or not even coming :lol:

Seriously, here is the exact problem with any pablum-puking fuckwad who insults OSU fans for being pissed at the media all the time, and why it isn't just empty whining. I love Pete as a coach, awesome program and all, but he's lost to 2 teams that might not finish above .500, one each for 2 years in a row, and he's still a dynasty in the making. We lose 2 NATIONAL FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP games in a row and all of a sudden we belong playing in the WAC. It's utterly fucking ridiculous.

Exactly.

I will credit that PC has his guys ready to go on the big stage, they rarely lay an egg when the contest is a premier match. But, damn.. losing to bad teams is as problematic as dropping the big one all the time.... and maybe worse.

Assuming your prediction to be true, what does that say about our team? We were absolutely pounded and I don't think Beanie makes a difference. At least the loss to the Beavers looks like a fluke. Ours did not.

Here's my problem with this line of thinking... if USC gets a pass for losing to a bad Oregon State team why does Ohio State get buried under a pile of insults for losing to "TEH BEST CFB TEAM EVAR!!!1!1!!"? I understand part of it is because the offense didn't show up but Oregon State had no business being in that game if USC plays with the same intensity as they did against Ohio State.

And I also don't buy into the "Beanie wouldn't make a difference" line of thinking either. Would Ohio State have won with him... maybe not but it would have been a better offensive game for Ohio State.

Thank you all, and BKB deserves some cred for his post above bringing it up too.

Of course what we both forgot to mention is that in the eyes of the all-wise and knowing Oz-like ESPN-driven media, we've been thrashed by superior SEC speed...USC has just beaten themselves the last 2 years.

It's not so much the question of whether or not Beanie would have made the difference, but why the staff so criminally misused the other backs. Why the hell did we start Boom when we have a "big, strong, north-south runner" like Maurice Wells, who barely even played?

I don't know if you're being sarcastic there (I heard that quote about Mo Wells last night while watching the game or maybe after it ended), but I think Boom is a far superior back to Mo Wells. Year in and year out, all I've seen Mo Wells accomplish is not fumbling the ball and running it up the center for 1-2 yards per play.
