I will never get the love fest for USC. They are the same team we were within a score of, without our starting QB, on the road. "...could beat just about anybody.." is an extreme stretch.

But USC found their QB ... who played against us but wasn't that only his first or second start? They're definitely a much better team than they were early in the season. I dislike the condoms intensely ... but I have no problem with where they're ranked.

I agree. They're a good team, among a bunch of good teams, not head and shoulders above them.

Right. So how good can USC really be?

This all started because some asked how USC could be ranked over WSU. My response ended with question marks, implying I was merely guessing as to why the committee did that. But to answer your question - USC has effectively beat the #12 team in the country. WSU has not. Nor has CU.

Yep. and I pointed out how I don't buy your claim USC can beat anyone in the country, because they barely beat us at their house without our starting QB. Congrats, full circle.

One thing that bugs me: how is USC ranked higher than WSU? WSU was ranked last week and USC was not.

Both won last week. USC's opponent (Oregon) was probably marginally stronger than WSU's (Arizona), but USC was at home and WSU was on the road. Moreover, even though they both won by more than 3 scores, WSU won by 62 points and USC won by "only" 25. Even though neither was an impressive opponent to beat, WSU's win was definitely more impressive.

Additionally, the only other thing that would have changed since last week was how "good" wins look and how "bad" losses look based upon how those opponents did last weekend. The only teams that won last week that either USC or WSU beat previously were:
  • Colorado (so USC's victory over us looks "better" than it did last week)
  • Stanford (so WSU's victory over them looks "better" than last week)
  • Idaho (so WSU's victory over them looks "better" than last week)
All other wins by either team look "just as good" or worse than last week. USC also lost to a team that lost last week- Utah- while all of the teams WSU lost to (BSU and EWU) both won.

Am I missing something?

That loss to Eastern Wash kills Wazzu

Wash - 13
USC - 26
On the road.
I would qualify that as "could beat just about anybody.."

Unless CU can also beat anyone in the country. Chew on that one.

Why do you concern yourself with things you have absurdly no control over?
 
If Wazzu wanted to be ranked higher, they shouldn't have lost to Eastern freaking Washington.
 
Interesting nugget from HCMM's press conference last night. Hadn't heard scores, and wasn't surprised at all when told USC got Washington. Then he went on to say this "USC is really good. Best team we've played this year."

Wow. I think I agree with him. Obviously their D isn't as good as Michigan's, but Darnold really is amazing.

Just sucks we are going to have to deal with him for another year or two. Luckily the next time will be in Folsom.
 
When USC brings their game, they can play with about anybody. I echo the #10 ranking. If we played even decent last night, we win by God knows how many.
