That Win Over Ohio State Really Held Up

USC’s signature win just took a direct hit as Oregon blew out Ohio State today.

If USC beat Ohio State today after the Buckeyes lost to Oregon last week, would the fans have rushed the field?

Today also proved that playing with an inexperienced true freshman QB makes a difference.

    2. KAM: Riley Coyote’s “Signature Win” is no more.

      DON: He beat the worst Ohio State team since the disastrous Luke Fickell squad in 2011. And the USC fans ran onto the field for that? At least save that for beating a #1 ranked team.

  4. KAM: SC is not in the best position to make the Playoffs. Even wins over Indiana and ucla might not do it

    DON: There are a lot of bodies they have to crawl over to get into that Top-12 group

    1. Just as Cignetti made plain this week, it aint the bodies to be crawled over that’s the issue … it’s whose responsible for determining which body lies where and what value they are assigned … you can already hear the faint murmurs coming from backwards @$$ SEC trash about how they should get a 4 loss team in … and their ESPN (and CBS and everyone else in the legacy media as well) lapdog is saturation broadcasting that nonsense … the system remains broken and won’t be truly fixed until a complete geographic realignment is forced by the other parties when they get tired of having fewer seats at a table they thought was a common trough …

      1. KAM: You watched Ohio State get annihilated by crummy Oregon. These were the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the country in the preseason. Tlak about overrating the Big Ten!

        DON:What teams in the mediocre parity Big Ten deserve to be in the NC playoff? Right now ESPN is projecting only two, Indy and UCLA.

      2. But they are projecting 5-7 teams from the more crummy SEC … (but if you are an SEC/ESPN homer you immediately must bellow “but all the losses were to SEC teams, and the SEC is tough, so SEC teams should be in the playoff …”)

      5. KAM: Right now , the top SEC teams are Georgia and Alabama.

        DON: Do you think our current top Big Ten team UCLA could hang with them?

      8. Factual, but misleading … is UCLA really the top team? In the standings, yes … at the end of the season? Possibly, but unlikely … Indiana has 1 loss and is defending national champion (what, 23-1 in the last two seasons) … do you think Alabama (who has 2 losses but easily could have 4) is better than them? or Georgia (lost at home to Auburn)? Texas beat Ohio State by 1 at home after trailing the entire game. Nothing about the SEC (other than Saban) has ever had a scintilla of credibility when it comes to the “the SEC is so much better” argument. It’s all public manipulation for $ … hmm, the sounds vaguely familiar!

      10. Agreed on that formulation of your point … Indiana is not as good this year, and there is no great team in the Big 10 – but the point also remains that there is no great team in the country. Going to end up like 2007 or 1990 with a subpar “champion.”

      11. Agreed, James. The SEC has too many teams that are a shadow of their past selves and a relative joke this year as far as the natty goes. The SEC lackeys and pundits are doing their best to make an argument for a lackluster 2 or 3 loss SEC team to jump much more deserving teams for a playoff spot.

  5. Scott, you are right about the value or rather the lack of value because of the Oregon win over OSU. However, it wasn’t just OSU having an inexperienced QB, what about the terrible defense and lack of a running game. OSU was just an over rated team. Oregon is not a playoff team with its three losses, USC needs to win out to be in the playoffs. Can they do it, probably not, but it is a path. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

  6. While absolutely nothing went right this week to propel USC forward in the rankings, it really won’t matter as this team will lose to Indiana and UCLA.

      1. KAM: Why so glum, Cowardly Gabby?

        DON: Your Bruins are ranked #4 in the nation in the AP Poll this morning and yet here you are throwing a tantrum like a two year old on a USC blog. You should be celebrating.

      2. “Throwing a tantrum like a two year old on a USC blog.”

        Why would today be any different than any other day? She doesn’t process information (such as UCLA’s record) the way normal people do.

  9. Last year when McAfee ‘….alluded…’ about a female student’s involvement with a team’s player should have had that smart ass terminated immediately. Just a matter of time before he does something else but yeah OR St. @ Boise St. is where that clown belongs.

  10. The BIG 10 is getting dissed by voters on the CFP Rankings. Like always, they are sucking up to the SEC, and the CBS(EC) TV network pundits are trying hard to make their best arguments for crappy, 2nd rate SEC teams with losses.
