Well now wait a minute here. Mark May might just have something here. Let's take a look.
2007 USC Trojans unofficial resume as compared to Ohio State.
Ohio State (11-1) lost a game to a BCS qualifier (9-3) Illinois.
USC (10-2) lost a game to conference doormat (4-8) Stanford by one point
AT HOME (Uggggggg!!!!) and a game to Oregon (with Dixon) on road (Can't fault them too much for that one but it's still a loss).
USC defeated only 2 teams (yes that was a 2) that finished with a better than .500 record this year (Arizona State, Oregon State). For reference, Ohio State beat 5 opponents with greater than .500 records this year (not counting YSU).
USC's best victory came against (10-2) Arizona State, a very good team right? Well maybe not, ASU only beat one team this season that finished with a better than .500 record (Oregon State). Ohio State's best victory...at Michigan, at Penn State, or Wisconson take your pick. All good wins but none of them seems to be that great from a national perspective.
Oh look, just for reference, it appears that Ohio State and USC each played a common opponent in 2007 (Washington) with both games being played at the same location (at Washington) just a few short weeks apart from eachother. Those results: Ohio State wins 33-14 and USC wins 27-24. So Ohio State both scored more points and allowed fewer points than USC did.
Hmmmmm.......that clinches it in my book!
Mark May is right! USC is clearly the best team for 2007. It's a down right tragedy that the Trojans have been overlooked for this years Championship Game! Obviously, USC is better than LSU as well. As a matter of fact, if you combined all the best players of Ohio State and LSU together to form a single team, THE Ohioana State Tigereyes, USC would still win the Championship 137-3! Right Mark May?
Enough about USC! I can't wait to see the Buckeyes play them the next 2 years!
First things first.....bring on LSU!!! Mark May you can just go suck it!!!!
Go Buckeyes!!!!!
