The Rose Bowl

I am not saying USC isn't an amazing team or the Pac-10 isn't good, but the Big-12 all had to play each other this year and now their "best" team is playing the SEC's best team. USC should have played Texas if they wanted any shot at being able to claim part of the AP national championship. It's not their fault, but I still don't see how you can rank them ahead of Florida or the Big-12 teams until they actually play someone.

Because Oklahoma State is probably the 5th or 6th best team in the Big-12. Let me know when they play one of the "Big" 3 (Texas, Oklahoma, TT).

My original point is that it still was a legitimate bowl game. I wouldn't really laugh at either team.
