Have to agree with it. USC's non-conference schedule should be the model for ALL BCS conference teams.

Yeah and you act like when they scheduled Arkansas they were the powerhouse of the SEC. Notre Dame is a rivalry game that has happened every year except 3(WWII was going on) since 1927. Yeah they play some good teams outside of conference, what do you want to hear.
I still hate USC, I loathe them and that will never stop. I do begrudgingly respect them just as I know most SC fans respect my team.

hey, here's another thought.
if the conference is year after year below par to showcase yoour team, if your team would rather pack their schedule with quality matchups, and especially with the years usc has behind them the obvious answer is GO INDEPENDANT.
so what if nd is playing 3 service schools? when was the last time that happened? at least we dont have anyone to blame except ourselves when the schedule is weak. everyone else has the other guy to blame -- their conference.
when is accountability of accepting the perks of a conference going to be seen for just that -- perks, not providing a definitive answer to who has the best teams. there simply are not enough matchups between the highest quality teams in any one season for anyone to compare accurately.
what if one season in the future for the set of schools in question the common schedule was as follows:
single play, match each team in the pool once:
usc, nd, michigan, ohio state, FL, texas, miami, fsu, auburn, penn state, and ball state. ( or take your pick of your top 11 consistently good programs, they are just an example here)
everyone plays everyone else. everyone gets the same cupcake. it would never happen. why? because no one wants that answer. its supposed to be controversial, thats what keeps us all watching.
until there develops a "BCS" conference, or a playoff system, this will always be a bunch of blah blah blah.
you wanna hear smack talking -- go to the buckeyes page looking for the question referring to if michigan wins, will ohio state fans root for them to win the championship as fellow members of the big ten. its eye opening how hateful some of those answers are.
as an irish fan (and forever will be) i would never say the guy who beat us fair and square, rightly outplayed, didnt deserve it. nor would it occur to me that the guys who did win didnt deserve their shot at all. imo, that makes it somewhat ok when my team doesnt win that pivotal game.
on top of that, usc fans, we dont consider you our biggest rivalry. usc cares about that a lot more than we do. we care about a win. in the same way we care about one over navy. because we've been playing this ever lovin' matchup forever.
the one we cant stomach is michigan. (if any more experienced nd generations disagree, no offense on my part, but its been that way since before I went to school in '92) personally, I hope they stomp the crap out of ohio state today for their deceased coach, for the outright hate, for the fans who said they wouldnt go to the game for fear for their children. thats sad, and taking football someplace it just should never be for a college sport.
so there it is. i'm getting off my soapbox before it rains and the darn thing falls apart. if you're a fan of the conference system within the bcs, call us haters, call us cupcake schedulers, call us what you want. but what we're not, is afraid to have balls and call bs on the conference schedule issue. because thats what it is. every conference has top dogs, and it has porch pooches, and if your in a conference you play them all. so stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. lets play some d#mn football and if you have complaints -- get out of your conference and you figure out how to pick the tough schedule 3-10 years in advance. no whining while the conferences stand, someone has to be the big fish in the little pond.
yeah i'm watching THE GAME & rooting for michigan, along with nd/army today. if usc beats us, so be it. doesnt mean i give one care about usc more than they are at that point a second loss to my irish. so bring it, i'm sure we'll still play you next year.
in the meantime, dont call all irish fans usc haters. you guys are just another football team we've played for a long time. the diet coke of rivalries, a rivalry just not an evil rivalry, a less-filling rivalry.

Yeah, I know they have a tough schedule, but that's not why I personally hate them. The reason i hate them, is for one it's in my blood (Go Irish!!), and for two it seems like their players get out of every single bad situation they get in off the field. Like getting arrested. Then suddenly they decide they aren't gonna charge them? That's why i don't like them. Sure they have a tough schedule, but it doesn't mean anything unless you win out.

They are still an overrated team in a weak conference.
BTW...Notre Dame will beat them.

How did that Orgeon State game go?
I thought USC never loses to anyone.
