Okay being that The '02 Ohio State only played one of the best fucking schedules I have ever seen.I'm sorry but To go Undefeated in The Big Ten with a 14 game schedule and Beat a Team That could be another team in The NFL at the Time should mean something.
ESPN Picks 2005 USC over 2002 Ohio State

Ricky Watters, Tony Brooks and Anthony Johnson in the backfield, along with Rocket Ismail. Tony Rice at quarterback, who had 1,000 yards rushing that year himself.
They had a better offense that year than Notre Dame has this year, at least more well-rounded.
They also had a couple studs on defense, Pat Lyght, Chris Zorich included.Comment

I think USC would win...
I don't think it would be a pummeling...
but I can't stand these "who would've won" bullshit...
because the fact is...we'll never know...
everyone sounded like Brett when talking about MIAMI vs. Ohio State...
not one person on the planet gave OSU a shot...
USC's offense IS on a different plane however...
and unchainme...Clarett was an asshole THEN as well..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

It is on a different plane.
And they have them facing the 1997 Wolverines in the next match-up.
I agree we'd never know, but even I would say that USC would probably have little trouble beating the co-champs from that year.
Ironically, the same teams who shared the title then are playing in a crappy lesser bowl this season.Comment

Bowl games are a weird fucking thing though...you just never know..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

Why do you guys insist on comparing Miami of 2002 to USC of now? Miami was nowhere near as prolific on offense as USC, and SC knows how to win tough games, on the road. They are battle-tested and they have a great coaching staff. I'll put Pete Carroll up against Larry Coker anyday. You give Carroll a month to prepare for a team, and he will have a winning game plan.
It's a home game for USC at the Rose Bowl, they have two Heisman winners, they have a defense with a chip on its shoulder, and the best offense the sport has seen. Texas has no chance of winning...none. ND almost beat them? Well guess what, they didn't. Good teams win tough games on the road, and all of a sudden Notre Dame is a shit team? News to me.
Please, Ohio State lost their only two games that mattered this year...Texas and Penn St. Give me a break. When's the last time the Big 10 beat USC in a bowl game? Go look it up.Comment
