Please tell me what USC could have done differently when they scheduled these games? They picked what was thought to be a very tough non-conference schedule, like they do EVERY year (last year they had the toughest). Auburn was thought to be a national title contender, Notre Dame was #18 in the preseason coaches poll, Hawaii was #34, and BYU was #37 in the preseason. For Oklahoma, North Texas was #56 (one vote), Alabama had no votes, Fresno State was #36, and UCLA was #32. For LSU, Louisiana-Monroe (lol) had no votes, Arizona had no votes, Western Illinois had no votes (a decent I-AA team and yes I know this was a last second schedule change), and Louisiana Tech had no votes. That is a K-State type non-conference schedule if I ever saw one. What if LSU had to play a real team instead of Western Illinois? My point is that a lame Notre Dame-Syracuse game or a lame Boise State-Hawaii game should not determine who plays for a title.
