I will say this:
It is not good that we play USC back-to-back years.
Say what you want about recruiting rankings and how overrated these star ratings are. But facts are facts. There is a reason that Ohio State is better, year in and year out, than schools such as Minnesota, Northwestern, and Indiana. It's because we get, top to bottom, better players.
There does appear to be a talent disparity between USC and just about everyone else in the rest of the country. Does that mean that USC will necessarily win both, or even one of the games? Absolutely not. But I'd feel a lot better if I thought the "talent" level was even - especially since I know Tressel is better at coaching talent than Pete Carroll is.
