Maybe, and I have to wonder how good ASU really is. USC laid the lumber to them last year...and the year before...and the year before. Who knows, maybe its their turn.
There are a few hopefulls, IMO, that might beat USC this year: Notre Dame (we'll find out soon enough if the Irish are for real) ASU (impressed with them more than I thought I would be. Great offense and an active defense) Cal (lost Rodgers and JJ Arrington, but this might be their year....but I'm a lot less confident of their ability to beat USC than the first two I mentioned) UCLA (played USC tough last year before falling apart. Rivalry game. City bragging rights....anything can happen)
dude with all of the stuff we have been through, the voters WILL jump us up... It is good publicity, and we would deserve it straight up
