Older than dirt!!
Fair enough. Opinions are what Sportshoopla is all about and IMO, USC would have beaten Oklahoma this season.Actually we are because you're arguing about whether OU would beat USC at this point.

The bullshit is Tenn is ranked ahead of us.I see Auburn!
So.....Bullshit.

Yes indeed!!I think it would've been a great game.
Here's my view on a OU vs USC
OU offense is easy 2 TD's better then PSU, maybe more
USC offense is about the same skill and talent, as OkieLite
So now it comes down to defense and I give it a push. USC is better but just like Bama, they would be worn out in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
I think it would be a great game and entertaining to watch but OU has way to many weapons for USC
Has there ever been a team with 3 loses ranked 3rd????
I don't squat about Okie lite so you'll have to show me/tell me how their offense is about the same as USC as far as talent. USC has arguably one if not the top QBs around whos mentioned as a Heisman candidate next season. On the O line They have two All American tackles and a guard who is also going to the NFL. They have WR Juju Smith whos possibly a first round pick They have Darreous Rogers who was even more effective than Juju , a slot receiver in Burrnett who caught 3 TDS in the Rose bowl . A TE who came on late in the season and became a major weapon for Darnold. Ronald Jones went over a thousand yards this season but USC was a passing team once Darnold got rolling and the wild card in Adoree who if needed adds big play ability every time he touches the ball. Now USC doesn't and has never been a let it fly type of offense. But they have the talent on offense that few teams have.
I said skill wise, it's a push
QB's push
WR's Big Edge Okielite,
RB's USC

UW at 4? Doesn't matter that much to me. They were in the national discussion and had their chance at the playoffs. That's all I care about. Who is above or below them on the final polls doesn't matter all that much.
But you finished top 5 because of how you played which wouldn't change if you weren't rewarded for it with a higher final poll. The games speak for themselves in your case as well. It's those results against good teams that will sell the program, and more importantly this coaching staff.I think the importance of the final rankings depends on your teams overall season. For UW, you guys probably shouldn't care all that much about finishing #4 because of all of the success (PAC North Champs, PAC Champs and making the playoff) through out the season.
For me, as a USC fan, I'm pretty pleased that we finished in the top 5 because at one point we were sitting at 1-3 and looking like we'd be lucky to be bowl eligible, let alone make the Rose Bowl and finish with such a high ranking.
