Reader Bryan writes in with the following:
A few years ago, ESPN created the perfect drug for the general college football degenerate: College Gameday Live, a once-a-week quality-produced show that is not only insightful but also entertaining. Needless to say, I quickly became a regular weekend user. But after growing accustomed to the euphoria of this [...]
Rivals.com asked its college football round table to name the school that is the most prohibitive favorite in its conference. The answers were BYU, Ohio State, and yes—USC.
This shouldn’t be a news flash. USC already has won six Pac-10 championships in a row, dominating the league like it never has been dominated before. Since its [...]
Posted in BYU, Ohio State, Pac-10, USC | No Comments »The LA Times reports that the Trojans have priority of use over the ‘SC’ logo, now that
the administrative tribunal of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has ruled that the local USC has priority of use when it comes to the “SC” logo, including the interlocking version.
The battle between the USCs has been quietly raging [...]
The Austin American-Statesman (or, as some like to call it, the Austin-American Statesman) has attempted to identify the most exploitable vulnerabilities for some of this year’s title contenders. They point out line play as USC’s weakness

Brian Walker of TheStreet.com has posted four daring college football predictions. They’re all worth a read, but this one naturally caught our eye:

Discuss.
Rocky Top Talk is running an interesting series of posts on college football logos, focusing so far on failed attempts to be scary and the boring ones. (Coolest and worst are yet to come.) No sign of SC yet, although pretty much every other Pac-10 team has shown up on one of the two lists [...]
Posted in Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Oregon, Stanford, USC, Washington | No Comments »I’m sure we all like sorority girls (and the Kappa house at USC is particularly good*), but this is a bit much.
The top suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks was obsessed with a sorority that sat less than 100 yards away from a New Jersey mailbox where the toxin-laced letters were sent, authorities said Monday. [...]
SC’s second-place ranking got you down? Well, take heart in the fact that we are nevertheless the Pac-10’s “clutch team past.” We’re not really sure what that means, but here’s the evidence in favor:
The record speaks for itself. The Trojans:
Own 11 national titles in five different decades.
Own the highest all-time winning percentage vs. NCAA [...]
