You have seen two intersectional games, against Virginia and Ohio State. You're seeing this one solely because it's on Thursday night. After this, USC is going to disappear off the TV for most east coast viewers for awhile:

Oregon (8 pm ABC; regional coverage vs Ohio State/Wisconsin)
Arizona State (not gonna be on eastern TV)
Washington State (regional FSN)
Arizona (regional FSN)
Washington (not gonna be on eastern TV)
Cal (8 pm ABC; probably regional coverage)
Stanford (Versus)
Notre Dame (NBC)
UCLA (opposite the conference championship games)

It's cool if you don't agree, but I just think that whereas SEC teams get nationwide exposure (CBS, ESPN) for their conference games, USC has to lean mostly on its nonconference schedule to get national coverage. Most of the Pac 10 season takes place in a vacuum as far as the eastern media is concerned. A game like this offers more to USC than it would to a team like Auburn or LSU or UGA or UTK, who get to play conference games on CBS two or three times a year and then again on ESPN/ESPN2 two or three more times.

I get way more Pac 10 games than I get any other conference outside the SEC. I typically get either an ACC or Big Tenleven game early, followed by a PAC 10 game on ABC.

FSN and some other cable channels typically pick up 2-3 more Pac10 games a week. I guarantee I will see at least 6 regular season USC games again this year.

:question:

Well, I just think that USC should be treated the way Georgia was for thier lackluster performance in the first week.

That being said, it looks as if the best team in the country is either USC, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, or hell, even Missouri isn't doing too bad.

There was no way I could last this long at 15... Heck, I'm positive I couldn't last this long now.

Sorry BPV, but it appears emain struck out very early in this one.

Yeah, that's why I tend not to make predictions on Thursday night games.

FSN is like being on public access TV compared to ESPN.

Clearly all I am doing is advancing a theory; I have no idea whether it's correct or not. But if not that, then what? Clearly Pete Carroll agreed to this Thursday night road game. Why?

all good things have to end at some point.

Heck, even Phil will go away some day and we'll all just have to live with it.

Maybe I should be more clear. I get just as many USC games on ABC as I get UT games on CBS and ESPN combined. Florida might be the only team I see on national TV more than any other.
