This USC team is outstanding, but why is everyone so sure that this is the nation’s second best team? Are they basing this on wins? The Auburn victory was great, but beating Arizona State, Notre Dame, Washington and Washington State really isn’t that big a deal. Is losing to Cal in overtime better than losing to Florida? Where’s the love for LSU as the nation’s second best team? The Tigers also have a dominant win over Auburn and the win over Georgia is better than anything the Trojans have done. LSU matches up well with USC with a defense that’s just as good, receivers that are just as explosive, a veteran quarterback who’s playing well, and an offensive line as good as any in the country. I’m not saying USC isn’t necessarily number two; I’m just saying it’s not a slam-dunk. Here's the link http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2003/Columnists/Fiu/COW/Cavalcade_of_Whimsy.htm
