USC 23 Cal 17
Turned away Cal after 1st and goal in the final 2 minutes. Sorry, Aaron Rodgers, 23 straight completions didn't mean squat when that final throw hit nothing but turf.

That's 14 in a row for my top ranked alma mater, which survived without me. A sudden bout with agonizing sciatica kept me from traveling to the game as planned.

1. Bah
Tell your coach to stop declaring your team the National Champs, despite signing the BCS contract that said the two BCS bowl teams would play for the national championship.

2. I'm not a USC fan, but they would have CLOBBERED LSU last year
had the BCS gotten it right. You guys are imposters!

3. Bullshit.
The computers don't lie. How many top ten teams did USC play? Did USC play the #5 team? We played Georgia in the SECCG. Did USC play the #1 team? No, they played #4 Michigan. All USC played was #15 Washington State, and LOST to Cal.

5. Keep dreaming! If an ND fan like me knows that USC was the best team,
then you know they were!

The whole SEC was over-rated, so the teams LSU played didn't deserve their rankings.

We need a playoff system.

8. Yep, it's all about the computers
I don't even know why they play games anymore.

4. You need to complain to the AP poll
They have audacity to embrace a legitimate vote after the bowls, not locked into a stance the majority of them don't believe.

I have no problem with a split title. My Hurricanes claim '91 along with Washington, also undefeated and deserving before the Bowl Coalition or BCS nonsense.

6. Yeah Im really not losing sleep over it...
We've got the trophy. I just don't want USC to win it this year and get called "Back to back NC" or some BS like that.

7. No need for sour grapes
Just because USC is better than LSU, this year and last.

9. Then root for Miami and the great Brock Berlin
As I am. My old hometown team is an easy choice over my 4 year home at USC.

Miami will move up to 3rd now, after Georgia's shocking 19 -14 home loss to Tennessee a few minutes ago.

Let me guess, you hate the 'Canes also. I run into that everywhere.

11. God you read my mind.

I do hate the Canes, with a passion that exceeds human bounds.

We recruit the prison guards (last year's defensive star Chad Lavalais was a prison guard before LSU), while Miami recruits the prisoners.
