Idk about yall but I hated USC during the Pete Carroll era.
They swore they were so good but thanks to the BCS they ducked smoke from every good team that would’ve beat them, especially in 04 claiming a National Championship but never played an undefeated Auburn team lead by Jason Campbell, Cadillac Williams & Ronnie Brown who would’ve steamrolled USC.
Even Utah back then before they joined the PAC-10 (making it the PAC-12) was coached by Urban Meyer & went 12-0 & beat the crap out of a ranked Pitt team in the Fiesta Bowl.
Texas also went 11-1 that year & was a really good team as well, this was right before Vince Young would elevate into the best player in college football & become the Heisman winner the year they went on to win the national title the next year against USC, once they finally played a worthy opponent.
But really it was all Bob Stoops fault for dropping the ball in 04 Orange Bowl game, he basically helped create the mythos of USC being this dynasty team, when IMO they were the most overrated champs since Notre Dame.
And in 03, idc what nobody says Miami would’ve smoked USC if we had a playoffs back then. They were awarded the Natty by the BCS, but LSU, Oklahoma & Miami were all better teams IMO.
That **** Tennessee lost really screwed us, thanks a lot Coker...
