I think USC would lose to both LSU and OU. Here's why: Both LSU and OU's defense is unlike anything USC has faced including Michigan. LSU and OU have the #1 and #2 defense. After that, there is a big dropoff in talent and SPEED. USC would not score much on these defenses if at all. LSU matched up well with OU. USC would not match up well with either LSU or OU. Both LSU and OU defenses are STRONG againest the run which makes the other team one dimensional. They have to beat you with the pass. Both LSU and OU have an excellent backfield particularly in pass defense effiency. I think againest USC, both LSU and OU would score their points. When you break it down, the two best teams DID meet in the NATIONAL TITLE GAME. :geaux:
