The problem is you're jealous of USC and are in denial. You're team (whoever that may be) is not as good as USC so you have to try to rationalize scenarios in which they are unworthy or unfit to be on top. These same theories have happened in the past with the Yankees and Lakers, among others, where people have started claiming some conspiracy is the reason they were champions.
Back to the game at hand. Do I think USC will win? Yes. But Texas is a great team and it will be tough.

I don't think there is some conspiracy to keep USC #1. In fact, since they haven't lost in 34 games, they deserve the #1 ranking until they lose. I'm not jealous of USC, and really I hold nothing against them. But what makes me want to puke is ESPN giving USC daily handjobs underneath the SportsCenter desk. The media homers go on and on about how USC is the best team ever, could beat any team at any time in the last 200 years. Palease! The fact is, USC doesn't play in a defensive conference. Everyone knows USC (as with most of the Pac10) can put up points when they want (against other pac teams). I think USC is good, maybe the best team this year, but I also think this infatuation with them is getting to be too much. I don't think they are the best team of all time. I think there are a half dozen teams since 1990 that could and would beat this USC team. I think Oregon was overrated, and maybe they were overrated because they played USC and not the other way around. But Oregon kept getting votes from the AP and Coaches, and that, inexplicably helped boost USC's rating.
As for reggie bush, I think reggie bush is a phenomenal athlete and well deserving of the Heisman trophy, and I don't get tired of watching (or hearing) about him. Than man makes a 30 minute highlight reel every week, including the off weeks.
