Seriously, this strength of schedule argument is bull****. Each school has played 3 ranked teams, And USC was the only team of the top 3 to defeat 2 top 10 teams. And also the Pac-10 is not as strong as other conferences because the recruiting of west coast players is very competitive. Its not like anyone has a lock on any one region like they do out there. Also, when you have 2 historically successful football programs in the same city, it is pretty much a given that they will share talent. You guys should be thanking the lord. Can you imagine if USC was the only school in Los Angeles?
