I hate USC. Mainly because they play in a weak confrence and come out looking good at the end of the season because they have no real competition besides Oregon and Arizona. Then when the Bowl games come along they play against a team from the Big 10, Big 12, or the SEC that has been getting beat up all year by tough competition. Of course USC shouldn't have many players out on injuries because they play so many weak teams. At the same time the team they are playing has quite a few banged up players.
Don't get me wrong. I think USC is a good team, I just don't think they would be the "powerhouse" they are perceived to be if they played in a real confrence.
