I'm not even that sure that USC will win... The highly touted Big XII has come out flat in the bowl games, while, I think, the competent teams in the Pac10 have been underestimated. I think that Oregon State should have been ranked sometime this season in lieu of the Big XII teams, Arizona State did well even without their stud qb... What Cal did is inexcusable, but I think they did not lose on basis of talent. They looked like the Vols did the last two bowl games. Crappy bowl game with not a lot to play for. And how UCLA got a bowl game is beyond me. They were hot and cold all season.
