I know being undefeated and #2 in the nation hardly is the typical "upset" underdog.
2005 USC was viewed like 1995 Nebraska or 2001 Miami prior to kickoff.
2 Heismans
34 game win streak longest in NCAA history
ranked #1 for nearly 3 years
playing in their homefield in LA
fresh memories of 55-19 last time someone dared challenge them
2005 USC had a professionally done half hour show with 10 episodes ESPN special all bowl season long comparing them to the greatest college teams ever assembled.
Some of the most respected minds in college football would weigh in on the greatness of 2005 USC for 30 minutes each day.
So, yes it was an EPIC UPSET pulled off by the #2 ranked team in the country.
Man I won money on that game! I told everyone Texas was going to win but I was laughed at! Was a really good game too btw.
