USC playing a Big Ten team is advantage enough.

Here is how they've done in their last 8 games against Big Ten teams. But don't forget -- the Big Ten plays "great defense".

USC has won eight straight games against the Big Ten -- all by double digits and by an average of 25 points. And these aren't cupcakes. The last five have all been in BCS games.

Yeah, and they beat Oklahoma 55-19 in the BCS Championship game. The Trojans would have blasted any team from any conference, it just happened that the big 10 gets the bowl affiliation in the Rose Bowl with them.

I'll bet a program with the history of USC has winning records against pretty much every conference. Did you know that Ohio St. is 24-4 against the Big 12?

Texas won in 2005.

So a horrible game erases an excellent season?

I guess Oklahoma the past few years has been mediocre, since this is exactly what happens to them every time they play in a BCS game.

Boise State much?

Who did PSU beat out of conf? I guess beating some Big 10 teams is neat. Otherwise cool season. Beat more crappy Big 10 teams and thats about it.

Oregon State.

Oregon State beat USC.

The Big 10 is a joke, it really is. Not just this year, but the last 10 years.

Good thing Iowa beat this pathetic bunch from Penn State and saved us the grief of watching another Poor Performance by a Big 10 Team in the National Title Game.

USC is ok. They barely beat Cal. The Big 10 argument has nothing to do with USC.

Penn St beat an 'average' OSU team at home. Plus beating on the big 10 teams, which have proven to be worthless (minus Iowa who PSU lost to)

Who did thay beat in-conference? Nobody. A team with no quality wins does not belong in a BCS bowl and they would not have gotten there if they had been in any conference other than the Big Ten.

And they just scored 3 whole points in their bowl game.

USC would disagree that Oregon State is a "nobody"

**Prone2Clone** · 01-01-2009, 06:07 PM

Too bad the other USC (South Carolina) was such a turd today. Every time I see the replay of that one pick their QB threw, I just can't stop laughing. He must have overshot his receiver by 10 yards or more. WTF?!?!?

I do agree with this. I'm glad Iowa spared us from seeing one of their conference-mates in the NC game this year.
