is exactly why a playoff is needed. The Trojans would beat LSU or Ohio State right now, but because of their two season losses when they had guys banged up, they were thrust out of national championship contention. USC is the best team in the nation right now and they'll be sitting at home watching LSU and Ohio State compete for the title. Money wins, players lose.
Slapping down an overrated Big 10 team means about as much to me as Georgia fans screaming they are the best team in the country because they spanked Hawaii. Both teams played match-ups vs teams that had no buisness playing in a BCS game period. Is USC a NC team? Maybe but they lost to Stanford for heaven sake and i know they had injuries but are you telling me USC's isn't deep enough to beat a team that is easily one of the worst BCS teams in the country as of late? Maybe they don't have the depth to beat a LSU or even a Georgia if that is the case.
Regardless a playoff system is needed period.
