I know no one will remember all this brewha about who should be #2 a few years from now. But I'd be willing to bet that if Skip were to ask the USC AD about starting a series they wouldn't want any part of it.
I'm not so sure. After the Oregon/NEB thing a few years ago, the PAC 10 has been open to hard OOC games against strong teams. I'm not saying they would take the game, but I'm not sure they would dodge us either. I will say this, this whole SOS thing has gotten out of hand. The difference between SC and LSU's SOS is very small (almost impossible to say who's is harder). They played some tougher OOC games, and we played a tougher conference schedule. To me, it is a wash.
