I will admit I got quite a bit pissed off while reading how arrogant the USC players are. Their quotes are out of line, but mirror their head coach to the tee. http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/6971738
They are just wishful thinking. Let them be, if they want to entertain the thought of what it would be like to play for the national championship, then let them have their fun.
They can have half the National Title as long as they don't try to say they are the undisputed National Champions. That's the part I have a problem with.

If they say it enough, they might start to believe it and ESPN might believe it as well, but no one else (with any sense) will believe it.
