4. Was USC Really The 3rd Best Team In America?

While I did think that the Trojans win over Penn State to lock up the Rose Bowl was impressive, I don’t think that should have launched them six spots in the final AP Poll. They finished the season 10-3 and apparently the Associated Press believes that they are the best team behind Alabama and Clemson.

Yeah, not so fast people.

The was a football team that struggled big-time at the beginning of the season, but after a few changes, were able to knock of #4 Washington and make their way into a New Year’s Six Bowl.

However, I’m not too sure they would have succeeded against programs like Ohio State, Oklahoma, or Florida State this season.
