No $hit. Look at our schedule. I can't believe how some here feel our ticket to the Rose is already punched. An undefeated season would be an accomplishment beyond incredible. Slow down guys. You've got to be 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, etc. before you can be 11-0.
While I think we'll be playing January 4, I think it's a waste to worry about other teams ahead of us. We hold our end up, Tennesse goes bye-bye and either OU or Texas will automatically take the other out. Michigan maybe a problem, but let's see our guys through the season. There is no way, IMO, that a second SEC going undefeated is by-passed for the Roses.
Never say never dude....wouldn't surprise me in the least though. The media has all but forgotten who won the 2003 NC with usc trying to "three-peat" this year and all, so...
If you take the time to look at PAC 10 recruiting classes for the last 5 years or so, you quickly realize that as far as USC is concerned, it's like LSU playing Vandy every week---there's just not much competition in the PAC 10!
And if UCLA throws another dog season out, look for Bruins to make a high-priced headline-maker their head coach. Classmate, fanatical Tiger, and professor at Cal State-SLO swears up and down that Fresno has the talent to screw up USC's (university of spoiled children) bid for a repeat. As for Texas, they go down in Columbus.
I think you need to reevaluate the schedule during the season. Pre-season polls don't mean much. For example at the end of the year you could have a 1 Michigan playing a 2 Ohio State. Florida could get off to a bad start and have a bad season which would weaken the schedule of LSU and Tennessee. If some teams get hot like Alabama or Wisconsin and start the season strong you would see a stronger Michigan, LSU, and Tennessee schedule.
