They would have won if they were healthy.  Still, they are overrated.  The O-line was suppose to be great, but I don't think they could push a baby buggy across the street.  The new OC calls a poor game and some of the penalties are just dumb.  What they need is a 5 loss season to reduce the size of their heads.  Maybe next year they can get it together.  Much easier SOS too. 

If Pryor was anywhere near as polished as Locker then you could have started this thread after last weekend.

Are you kidding? They WAXED Oklahoma, and went to Auburn with one of Tubbervilles best teams and shut them out at their place. They also beat a very good Virginia Tech team in their house. USC at least schedules tough out of conference games unlike UF, UGA, or LSU.

Who does Florida play, Citadel?? Please you have a VERY weak argument. And dont forget when USC waxed Oklahoma they went wire to wire to win the national championship.  Oh yeh and they have three heisman winners in that time span as well.

Pete Carroll and Jeremy Bates need to take a long look in the mirror and point the fingers at themselves. Pete doesnt believe in adjustments anymore. I know someone who was with the team at the half, and they walked around with no worries in the world. Thats the problem with them program now. The expectations to win are so high, there's never a sense of urgency when things get tough. They deserved to lose this game. Its funny, with the exception of the Oregon State loss, they literally deserved to lose every game. And when I say deserve, I mean its their fault because they played like morons. Oregon State played their tails off and actually beat USC from the get go. USC beat themselves in the other games.

Its unacceptable. Pete's ways are biting them in the ass. I'm getting a little tired of the casual ways they approach each game. They all act like they've done something in their careers.

the pac-10 actually plays good teams moron. look at who all the "GREAT" sec teams are playing. so far florida has beaten charleston southern, troy, and should have lost to tennessee, who lets not forget pathetically lost to UCLA at home. georgia, who started the season at #12 or so, is struggling with every team they play. LSU will not be a contender anywhere because their qb can't throw a 7 yard pass down the field to save his life. ole miss has played next to nothing teams, and so far alabama is the only one with a decent win.

the pac-10 has played tough teams week in and week out. AND has a winning record against the sec, so stop looking at the rankings and actually start watching football

Is that how you cap games? Team A beats Team B, who beat Team C, therefore, Team A definitely beats Team C?

Exactly. Their past success did them in coming into this season. I expected nothing from them this season. A BCS game would have been gravy. Knowledgeable USC fans are looking to next year.

But I did want to see a victory against OSU and Cal. Thats all I really cared about coming into this season.

agree here. But this time, the dont recover and win out like they have in the past, unless the coaches decide to allow the players to play. I see at least one more loss this season.

are you really going to tell me a healthy USC team on a neutral field couldn't beat teams like Ole Miss or Boise St?  come on now

other than Florida for the last couple of season USC has been the best program over the last decade, they put half of their squad into the NFL bro, they hammer out of conference teams at their place, they beat Auburn by 23 and beat Arkansas by 33 at their own vaunted SEC venues, they are USC, not some overrated redneck program from the south

to say they would be .500 in the SEC is laughable, they would have won the conference about 6 of the last 8 years in a walk, some of you people are just unreal

to hate USC is your choice, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to say their program couldn't compete in the SEC is pure stupidity

sure they will lose a couple of games this season, find me another college team that puts half of their team in the NFL in one season and wouldn't lose a few games the next year?

despite losing to Washington, they will still make a BCS bowl game and throttle whoever they play in the big game, happens every year and it will happen again this year once their players have some experience

they aren't as good as Florida, Bama or Texas this year and probably not Cal at this point, but they would beat every other team and probably most of those I mentioned by season's end in a bowl game (not Florida of course), but they would have beat Florida last year, that defense would have owned Tebow's ass last season, no doubt in my mind

Well said!
