And you don't think USC guys aren't 'gods'? Brent Musburger even said it on the telecast. Without the NFL the players are celebrates. Ohio St. in Ohio? Oklahoma in Oklahoma. Of course I could go on & on. So you don't like people being put on a pedestal. I take it you don't like actors, politicians, (already know about athletes), religious leaders, world leaders? Guys with 911's?

That's ok, if you are playing another slow, lumbering team, but they are just never ready for speed. They never see it, can't practice against it, and can't handle it.
Although I have to admit I didn't watch, partially because it's a game that doesn't really mean anything (PAC 10 winner v. Big 12 winner, who cares?), but also because the outcome was so predictable.

Um... Penn St. is in the Big 10. I do partially agree with your assertion. But it is 'on any given day' I'll go with. Penn St. destroyed Oregon St. Oregon St. whipped on USC. Give USC's QB credit. He played a lights out game. Personal records for completions & yards. And Pete Carrol is an excellent college coach. Just don't say that up in this neck of the woods. He didn't do much for the Patsies while he coached them.
