USC @ Oregon State Video Highlights + Are the Trojans Still in National Championship Contention?
2008-10-01 13:45:32

As always, here are the highlights from USC's stunning loss to the Beavers of Oregon State (available in low & high quality versions):

1st Half



2nd Half



The loss got me thinking...do we still have a serious shot at the national title? I think the obvious consensus is that we would have to run the table to get there. Our conference isn't benchmarking well this season, and that means that even an 11-1 record is no guarantee. The latest AP and coaches polls have us at #9.

Another wild college football weekend saw almost half of the top 10 teams lose; with Florida, Wisconsin, and USC all going down to unranked, conference foes. Preseason #1, Georgia, got the snot knocked out of them by a very good Alabama team infront of their home fans on Saturday night. My point? Clearly the parody that we saw last year in college football was no fluke.

I took a look at the 8 undefeated teams that currently sit infront of us in the USA Today coaches poll. I wrote down the toughest remaining games left of their schedules. The coaches poll accounts for one third of the BCS formula and the first rankings of the year are set to be released on October 19th.

1. Oklahoma Sooners
- vs. Texas
- vs. Kansas
- vs. Texas Tech
- @ Oklahoma State

2. LSU Tigers
- @ Florida
- @ South Carolina
- vs. Georgia
- vs. Alabama

3. Missouri Tigers
- vs. Oklahoma State
- @ Texas
- vs. Colorado
- vs. Kansas

4. Alabama Crimson Tide
- @ LSU
- vs. Auburn

5. Texas Longhorns
- @ Colorado
- @ Oklahoma
- vs. Missouri
- vs. Oklahoma State
- @ Texas Tech
- @ Kansas

6. Penn State Nittany Lions
- @ Wisconsin
- @ Ohio State
- vs. Michigan State

7. BYU Cougars
- @ TCU
- @ Air Force
- @ Utah

8. Texas Tech Red Raiders
- @ Kansas
- vs. Texas
- vs. Oklahoma State
- @ Oklahoma

My eyes will be glued to all of these games, especially Texas @ Oklahoma and LSU @ Alabama (during a brutal 5-week stretch for the Tigers). Someone has to lose each of those games, and that virtually guarantees one of those teams dropping behind the Trojans in the polls. Again, making the unmerited assumption that SC wins out.

For now, however, the Trojans turn their attention to the Oregon Ducks. It's our Pac-10 home opener and I'll have my preview and week 6 picks later this week.

Finally, after a brief technical hiatus, comments are back. Let's hear what you think; Do we still have a national title shot? If not, who are your favorites? We're 0-1 in conference play, but are we still the ones to beat in the Pac-10?

Fight On Trojan Fans!
