So when is USC going to play a quality opponent?

I for the life of me cannot understand how you can be the top team in the nation if you don't play any team of quality. This is the same thing that Miami did in the '90's that lead us to the BCS, which by the way USC and AP agreed with. Yet if USC goes undefeated becasue they don't play a quality team in a bowl game, AP will rank them #1.



Is this fair to the other teams that play quality teams and have 1 or even no losses?



I know I would be embarrassed to call my team the best if they were only best in the media and not on the field.So when is USC going to play a quality opponent?
I couldn't of said it any better myself....pre-season polls are junk and kill the game. LSU has to go through a BRUTAL SEC schedule to stay on top, along with alot of other schools, but USC plays no body worth while. The Pac-10 is a joke, the toughest team in Cal and they can't play defense. I just enjoy the games for what they are now. Ranking mean nothing.So when is USC going to play a quality opponent?
The polls are ridiculous. Shouldn't Florida be ranked #1?
They can't and wont change conferences, so that is beyond their control. In recent years they have scheduled Nebraska, Arkansas and Auburn out of confernce. All top teir programs. The games are scheduled 5-10 years in advance, so they have no control over how good the team will be the particular year they play them. They have Ohio State next year. I am not a USC fan, but they do try to have one of the tougher schedules. Also they play ND every year. Just because they have sucked as of late, it isn't USC's fault.So when is USC going to play a quality opponent?
To be fair their schedule is much tougher than Oklahoma and WVU's schedule.
I love the fact that everyone thinks that USC is not for real. This east-coast bias always makes me laugh because they hate the fact that a west coast team is the best team in the nation!!! LSU fan is mad because the wish they were USC.

Everyone last week was banking on the fact that Nebraska was going to upset USC and what happened, they punched in the face with just running the ball. Then they say that USC can pass. So Booty throws for 4 touchdowns. The scary thing about USC is that there not even in sync yet. They are about two games from being at there full potential and once they get there there will be no team in the Nation that will even come close to beating this team.



So all you east coast hacks, keep hating keep commenting that USC is not for real. Its only going to make your 2007 college football season very miserable!!!!!!So when is USC going to play a quality opponent?
The top 5 or so teams seem to never meet up except in the SEC and in bowl games. I think the hype of Nebraska being a major challenge for USC was ridiculous - why, because they split a championship like 15 years ago they're supposed to have a good chance to beat a current #1? I do think if you want your team to be considered top 5 you should at least be scheduling 1 ranked team for your non-conference play, which USC has been doing lately, so I think they're legit.



But schedule too many tough teams just to boost your image and you may end up humiliated like ND when you find out you can't actually beat them!
Be a little objective and you could see. First off USC can not predict the future when scheduling. How can they tell how good Nebraska or ND will be five or more years from now? On paper those schools are usually good.



Then you have Cal (beat Tenn) ranked #6, Oregon ranked #11, ASU #25 games coming up. I believe Nebraska is still ranked.



You should focus on Ohio State or Oklahoma who will have easier schedules then USC and maybe undefeated.
Good question man...i was wondering the same thing. I honestly think they wont play a quality opponent until the BCS title game. Unless their upset by then, and John David Booty is way overrated. There is no way that Notre Dame is a quality opponent haha!!
2 quality teams comming up in the next 3 weeks in oregon and cal. although one of them will have a loss they are both still capable of knocking off the trojans. i think that oregon will be the undefeated team and they pose real problems for usc with their quickness on offense and their secondary on defense. they are gonna be a real problem for usc.



QUACK DAMNIT!!!!!!
are you kidding?? FL has only played ONE top 25 team, TN #22 AT HOME...you call W KY and Troy a "quality opponent"???? how about BARELY beating unranked MISS whose only win was by 2 points over Memphis!!!! you call that a quality win???



youre an idiot!



way to make yourself look like just another uneducated, ignorant southern moron who only knows SEC football and doesnt have the mind to pull his head out of his @$$ b4 he opens his mouth.



CAL is ranked #6, OR is #10 and ASU is #23 (Harris Interactive poll, the only poll out that actually will effect the BCS rankings)...you still stand behind your ignorant comment??



how about destroying NE on THEIR FIELD!!!!

you think a home victory over a TN is bigger than a road victory over NE???



go back to your bait shop, pull your head out and the leave the football talk to those who know football.



good day.



***

if theres a media bias against the SEC, why does the SEC have more ranked teams than any other conf?? if there was such a bias, wouldnt the PAC-10, ACC or Big East be the most ranked conf??? and speaking of coasts, do you really not know where FL, SC, and GA are located??thanks for setting yourself up, again. trust me, you dont know 1/100000000 what i know about college football.
