The best part of this is USC is 6-1 also, with a thumping from Arizona State. They barely beat Arizona, and escaped embarrassment from Minnesota w/ 19-17 win to open the season. They are prohibited from the post-season and votes in any poll, but are going to be featured for 3 hours on ESPN.
While two top 11(or so) teams meet w/ the storyline of the greatest turnaround in college football looming in the background. The underdog who has once again risen from the ashes this time from the embarrassment of HC Ron Prince(who an ESPN darling while here).
I say eff cheeseburger and his love for the "glamorous matchup." That guy was a turd Nov. 11, 2006 and always will be. This quite simply is the matchup w/ the most passion and implications, it is stupid that we are constantly overlooked just because of geographics. This whole conference minus OU and UT are constantly pushed down to a lower level by fuktards on the coasts.
