Two weeks ago, the world was convinced the USC Trojans were by far the best team in college football.

If "the media" is "the world," then yes. Otherwise, no.

Go Sooners!

Flame suit on....

Anyone but USC.

If AL Qeda had a team and played USC- I’d root for AL Qeda.

Yeah, I went to public shool in Westwood.

Shocking? Not to anyone who watched the game. I could only watch the first half due to my schedule, but Oregon State completely owned the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and USC was lucky to not be down 4 scores at halftime.

Clearly the Trojans made a run in the second half, but they were nowhere near good enough to play like a #1 team should play.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Hang in there, Trojans, and fight on!

Does adding the keyword “collegefootball”, automatically ping the college football distribution list??

Looks like it’s going to be yet another National Championship for the SEC.

[Paradox]

The way that USC totally pwned Ohio State made me think that they were THE team this year. But happily, you still gotsta play da games..

Don't look now, but it might come down to the winner of the Florida-Georgia game this year..

I remember a PTI segment earlier this week where the two panelists were asked to vote between USC, and the whole SEC winning the National Championship. I think it was Wilbon who picked USC.

SEC rules!!

Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn........they'll kick anyone's butt.

[jayef]

I wouldn’t count last year’s champs out yet. I predict that Florida, Georgia or LSU will be national champion.

I was a college football coach for nine years. Now I am back to coaching H.S. football (it is less stressful on the family—I actually get a day off during football season!) I live in Big 10 country, but I am not a big 10 fan. Since we only seem to get big 10 games around here, I watched Ohio state several times this year. In my opinion, the Big 10 is in big trouble. In fact, when I watched USC vs. Ohio State, I was surprised that they didn't get destroyed even worse.

The best teams in the country this year can be found in the Big 12 and SEC conferences. In fact, at least 8 of the top ten teams in the nation should be from those conferences. The National championship game will be a Big 12 team vs. a SEC team.

jeez...hmmm...so hard to resist...The Trojans were no match for the beavers (oops)

[chesley]

Well. Roll Tide, roll.

Ouch! I have a hangover and it’s not alcohol induced. It’s called the Corvallis curse.

[Biggirl]

Who will be the new number one team since USC went down?

[MaineConservative]

I’ll say... Go UConn and the BIG EAST!!

[RayChuang88]

At the rate things are going, Ohio State will be back in the BCS Championship Game almost by default.
